Editorial Review for Sea World San Antonio – by Shannon Botkin

The Appeal
The world-famous killer whale won't disappoint, and beyond Shamu is a day full of fun. The latest coaster, the Steel Eel, is the only hypercoaster in the Southwest. Feel your stomach rise to greet your screams as you drop 15 stories into a wooded ravine. Try out the Great White, the inverted steel roller coaster that hurls riders head-over-heels five times at nearly 50 miles per hour.

Facts and Figures
If you come to Sea World for what's in the water, you won't be disappointed. Whales, sharks, sea lions, dolphins, otters, walruses and humans team up in more than 20 shows and educational exhibits. To get up close and personal, check out the Sea Lion Comedy Show--after Clyde and Seamore finish their performance, you can buy trays of fish to feed them and some of their sidekicks in the rocky coastal habitat they call home.

User Reviews for Sea World San Antonio

2 Star Rating: Below Average

One of my dreams has been to swim with the dolphins before I die. I got to do it here, but this security guy with a long hook-thing pulled me out. He made up some lie about the dolphins being "fragile", but they aren't. I've seen them jump and play ball. Hey, security guy! My ticket pays your salary! Don't tell me what to do, HELP me do what I want to do!

Pros: Sometimes you can swipe fish the sea creatures didn't eat

Cons: Lies about me "making the kids cry".

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

If you plan your trip before you go this tip will make your Sea World visit much more cost effective less stressful and more fun. Go to Sea Worlds web site click on purchase tickets. You can get a 2 day ticket for the price of a one day ticket. It is an e-ticket and you must print it of and take it to the park with you. The days do not have to be consecutive but must be used during the 'season' they are purchased. I did this last year and just purchased them again today! If you want to take your time and see everything or have young kids that can't do long days at the park this is perfect. We do one day on exibits and shows and one day in the water park and in the splash zones of the shows we want to see again.

Pros: Beautiful, friendly staff, 2 day ticket value

Cons: food and drink prices
