I really enjoyed the shows at SeaWorld. They were really creative and also really funny. It's also really cool to see dolphins jumping about. SeaWorld for me is a must see because of the beautiful animals. It's also a really great place to learn about them. The Manatee Rescue was incredible. They are amazing animals and seeing the injuries that many have suffered makes you realize how fragile even huge animals like the Manatee are. The sharks were cool too. You literally get to walk through them, they are swimming all around you. We got some great pictures of sharks swimming over our heads.

Don't miss the sea lions, otters, and even a walrus give home improvement a whole new meaning at Fools With Tools show. It is usually best to plan which shows you want to see first, then look at the other attractions in between.

Jumping Whales

One of my more memorible trips as a child with my parents was to San Diego's Sea World. I was warm and begged and begged for a snow cone, and didn't get two bites into it before a jumping killer whale soaked my snack with salt water. Ick.

I was also fascinated that the trainer was so trusting to let this huge "killer" whale jump up and take a fish out of his mouth.

I was also amazed anyone would want to put a raw fish in their mouth.

Feed me!!

We had a day at Seaworld and it was a blast. There is so much to do here and so much to see that you need to get here early in the morning to really see it all.

There is not much in the way of amusment park type rides and the main attraction is the shows with all of the animals as well as the fish tanks where you can walk under, around and over the fish and sharks.

Take your own food in as the prices here are WAY high.

Who is this guy on the tip of my Nose !

Sea World is great fun for grownups and children alike.

There is so much to see. The Shamu show, with magnigicent killer whales, the otters, dolphins, flamingos manatee rescue centre, freshwater aquarium, penguins, and much much more.

If you go to The Shamu show and do NOT wish to get wet, then sit high up on the seating area. You have been warned ! these guys splash their tails in the water and make huge splashes just in front of the seating area.

The picture I took at the show, captured one of the trainers just about to be thrown off of the dolphins nose. Split second timing from the photographer.

The tower that allows you to see all around.

I really enjoyed my whole day at Sea World. You found yourself just being a kid all over again. There is enough things and fish (all kinds) to do and see that you'll find yourself at this place all day.

I took my 17 month old son to Sea World and he probably had the happiest day of his life there. Shamu, the Cirque de la Mer, the shark tunnel, the pet show. It was a fantastic experience and well worth the pricey admission.

Be sure to take a trip to the top of the Southwest Airlines tower to get a fabulous view of the area.

Seaworld is very touristy, not very cheap, but loads of fun! There's lots to see and do - I personally love the dolphins! You have the option of watching trained dolphins performing a show, or hanging out at soemthing called the Rocky Point, where you can feed and try to pet dolphins that have not (yet?) been trained.
There are also rides, bird shows, expensive food, polar bears, Clydesdale horses and of course, Shamu!

The world-famous Shamu show has a new look, themed extensively to the Pacific Northwest.
The Shamu Adventure highlights spectacular natural behaviors of killer whales. Shamu, Baby Shamu, and Namu delight guests as they interact with each other and their trainers. During high-energy water sessions, guests seated in the first 14 rows must be prepared to get soaked.
