Seaworld has enough for a whole day's activity (or two) for the whole family, including a waterpark with a wave pool and several waterslides. Before heading out to the park it's best to check with local supermarkets and sometimes the Dairy Queen's to get discount coupons (ie: buy one day, get one free; or pay for one adult, one child enters for free).

Its perhaps beyond the scope of this review to go into all the attractions at the park but there is a good mix of rides, shows and exibits to keep the whole family happy (and if dad isnt driving I will quickly mention that being owned by Anhauser Busch will help in sampling the Budweiser beer at the hospitality centre).
So quickly the rides are as follows - Steel Eel, The Great White (will keep most coaster fans pretty happy) and two water rides, Texas Splashdown and Rio Loco - both pretty good but not at the pinnacle of there particular theme.
Exhibitions include the Dolphin Pool where you can feed them, The Coral Reef (one BIG aquarium - oh yeh and with Sharks) and the Penguin Encounter (not forgetting the Puffins also).
Finally the shows are one the big pulls of Sea World and you won?t be disappointed. The shows include Viva and of course Shamu Visions - make sure you get the show times brochure when entering the park.
I should also mention that Sea World also has its own waterpark included in the park and on the same ticket, it was shut when I was there due to it being out of season - 75 degree too cold for the Texans!).
Sea World certainly isnt downtown. Its around a half an hour drive or so north west of the city literally in the middle of nowhere. If you dont fancy driving pay the $1.60 each way and use the VIA transport from downtown. When I was there I used the rather slow route 64 bus. I have a feeling however it may be worth looking for a 63 route in season which could use a more direct route.
Apart from that your only worry is trying to explain how Shamu the whale is at all the parks in America on the same day!

Everything is bigger in Texas, and SeaWorld San Antonio is no exception! It's the world's largest marine life adventure park with more than 25 major shows, rides, educational experiences and family attractions for all ages. SeaWorld San Antonio counts the Steel Eel hypercoaster and Great White inverted coaster among its newest additions.
Shamu Visions show, starring world-famous Shamu and companion killer whales, incorporates TV technoloy to bring guests incredible close-ups of the monarchs of the sea on a two-story-high video screen.
Other popular SeaWorld shows includ Symphony of the Sea, featuring graceful beluga whales and high-flying Pacific white-sided dolphins; Fools with Tools, a comedy caper in which sea lions Clyde and Seamore muddle through a home repair nightmare along with their otter and walrus sidekicks; and the Intensity Games, an action-packed water ski and sports spectacle.
There's plenty of fun for the entire family at this beautiful 250-acre showplace in the scenic Texas Hill Country. The Lost Lagoon water park features a huge wave pool, towering water slides and kid-sized activity area, Li' Gators Lagoon. Kids can play and splash at Shamu's Happy Harbor, a children's area featuring a maze of leaky pipes and valves, slides, net climbs, and other colorful, creative play elements. Guests also can cool off on Texas Splashdown, the longest and tallest flume ride in Texas, and on Rio Loco, a twisting, turning, churning river rapids ride.
Speaking of rides, The Steel Eel begins with a pulse-pounding, 15-story drop, reaches speeds at 65 mph and features non-stop peaks, valleys and camelbacks which create maximum air time, or weightlessness, the signature characteristic of a hypercoaster. Visitors also can dive deep on the Great White, the park's thrill-packed inverted coaster. Riders dangle their legs from the coaster ski-lift style and go heels-over-head five times.
Mysterious hammerhead sharks and a rainbow of tropical fish cruise the depths of Sharks/The Coral Reef while more than 200 perky penguins frolic in the ice and snow of the Penguin Encounter.
SeaWorld San Antonio guests can visit the world-renowned Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale horses; feed and touch Atlantic bottlenose dolphins at the Marine Mammal Pool, or take a stroll through the Texas Walk sculpture garden where life-size bronze statues of famous Texans are located. Learn more about Hispanic culture at the Plaza Del Sol pavilion, which salutes Hispanic contributions in education, sports and the arts.
Also available for an additional price is Dinner with Shamu, a backstage, poolside buffet dinner and photo session with killer whales and trainers. For those who want to delve deeper into the marine sciences, the Education Department offers an array of field trips, workshops and camps, including in-residence Adventure Camps for junior high and high school students.
SeaWorld also offers SeaLion Interaction Program (SLIP), a two-hour educational adventure culminating in participants donning wetsuits and getting ino the water with California sea lions. SLIP is similiar to the popular Beluga Interaction Program (BIP), an up-close, in-the-water encounter with beluga whales. For Dine with Shamu, SLIP, or BIP reservations, call 210/523-3900. Leave a Comment Directions: Located at Ray Ellison Dr. and Westover Hills Blvd off Texas 151, 16 miles northwest of downtown San Antonio.

I am not going to describe seaworld as I am sure many people have done so already. If you attend to go to any of the other parks ie seaworld florida or sandiego, buschgardens etc itiswell worth buying a season ticket into seaworld sanantonio as entry into the other parks will be half price. since a season ticket is only 10 bucks more. If you attend to go to seaworld sanantonio more than twice then buy a season ticket for the parking too!!!
season tickets also give money off in all the inside eating places andshops but beware food is very expensive and not very good Leave a Comment

Sea World is a wonderful experience. The shows are both informative and entertaining and especially enjoyable for children. It costs only $3 to feed most of the animals. It has a small water park to cool off in so bring clothes you don't mind getting wet and maybe a towel. A very nice day trip for families ad adults. Ithink this would be fun first date too!
