SeaWorld is home to one of the largest animal encounters in the world with three locations in Florida, Texas, and California. SeaWorld continues to grow and inspire young minds. SeaWorld was founded in 1959 by George Millay, Ken Norris, David DeMott, and Milt Shedd.

SeaWorld is known for its animal rescues and shoreline beautification processes. All of the animals on exhibit in SeaWorld are ocean rescues. The company rehabilitates the animals and releases them back to the wide once they are ready. SeaWorld strives to maintain a green image by using park ticket purchases towards helping save animals and clean oceans. Not only is SeaWorld educational, but also a thrilling experience with its roller coasters and ocean-themed water park rides.

Sea World is always an amazing place to visit with your family and friends during the breaks. I always go there with my family in Texas, and they never fail to fascinate me. If you want to see amazing sea animals and others, this is the place where you want to be.

I remember going to SeaWorld as a kid and loving every minute of it. There were so many fun shows and exhibits. My family was soaked by the Orca during the show. The trainers were amazing, what they were able to get them to do. I also got to kiss a seal on the nose. We are planning a trip to California this summer and SeaWorld is definitely on the the list of things I want to do with my kiddo's. Thanks for creating memories for me that I cannot wait to pass onto my kids.

Went for reunion and it was great. We thought there’d be a little more to see and do. Some of the rides were broken the show times were a bit close together so we couldn't catch everything we wanted to because the wait was too long or too full. But the kids enjoyed the water animal shows. Didn’t like the food inside. The information was a bit sketchy but the beauty of the animals is amazing.

They have some really fun rides, and it’s a great time with the family. We were upset because we paid for the fast passes and better seating before we got there, only to realize it was a super slow day with no lines anyways. No option for refund or changing passes, so we paid way more than we wanted to. Otherwise it was a fun day. Not worth it if it’s super busy though!

We love the ocean and we love all the animals in the sea and SeaWorld helps us teach our kids all about with animals and get ia first hand experience with them. My favorite is the Beluga wh my favorite is the Beluga whale. I miss the old water skiing show that they used to have back in this 80s and 90s. The rides are really fun and we love Seaworld and try to visit every time we are in California.

I attended the Seaworld Park in San Diego, California and they had much to offer. The food prices are extremely high. The park entry fee is not that much. There are a few fun places around the area.

SeaWorld is very immersive and educational! You really do get to see all kinds of different marine life as well as how they are taken care of. The staff is very open to questions and explains all of the animals in great detail.

My family and I had a great time visiting SeaWorld. It was a refreshing alternative to standing in the many ride lines at other amusement parks. I particularly enjoyed all the shows that I could sit down to enjoy offering my feet needed breaks!

Truly a wonderful and educational experience for everyone in the family. See your favorite water creatures in action with the killer whales or take a ride on exciting coasters or even chill at some of the fine restaurants. Truly a day to remember.

SeaWorld is very organized with how they run there to park. The food was great and the workers were helpful when it came to directions. The dolphin show was by far my favorite. Be prepared to spend a good amount of money and to get splashed by the wild life.

Ever since the trainers have not been allowed in the pool with the whales, the Shamu show has been a little lackluster. However, the park is still lots of fun and very educational. We were there last year and enjoyed the other shows and exhibits. Dining with Shamu is also very fun and worthwhile.

Such a beautiful place, perfect for family fun. Thoroughly enjoyed spending the day here. Tickets were easy to book, just make sure to read the terms and conditions. We went during Christmas time and the shows were simply amazing and so worth it. The decorations were the best comparing to other amusement parks in Orlando.

This was first amusement park when I came to the US with my second grade class. The animals were nice to see when I was younger. I recently visited and everything is still about the same and it been over 10 years. The space provided for the animals can increase.

Seaworld is great to view sea animals. The rides are fun and the shows are spectacular! The shows utilize both the animals and trainers to create a loving atmosphere. The park allows for people to see animals they have never seen before in person. If you do not like the use of animals for human entertainment, sea world is not the park for you.

Great day with the family Seaworld is less expensive than the majority of the parks in California and Florida not as many rides but engaging educational animal features. As a parent I appreciated the overall cost for a day in the park the different food options and the lines were never very long I would recommend Seaworld.

SO I know there is a lot of controversy about this place but have you ever been? The park is great, you learn so much from the scientists and trainers there that inspires love of the ocean, and they donate a lot of their proceeds to animal rescue.

I have gone to SeaWorld 5 times in the past. The park was clean and enjoyable. The shows were well done and a lot of fun. I am not sure that I can continue to support them in view of the recent criticisms of animal rights.

The first several times I visited Seaworld, it was the coolest experience! I loved feeding the dolphins and touching stingrays. The last visit however, the park had become kind of boring. Not because of age, but because of its focus more on roller coasters and Shamu, instead of interactive experiences with the animals.

As a child this was an amazing place to see as an adult taking her child just last year it was amazing to see the eyes of my child wide at all these amazing animals however the cost to the pocketbook was big. I also as an adult can see the reason we do this but hard to explain why they can’t go back in the wild to a curious child.

What a great way to introduce sea life to the world. Not everyone can take a trip to the ocean and explore its reaches so it is a good way to teach and educate as long as it is humane and the sea life is happy. It is when it isn't when things get sad and heart breaking.

When I was younger I used to love Sea World. But now I realize Sea World does not exactly follow ethical standards when taking care of animals. They are purely using them to make money.

I went to SeaWorld with some friends a couple of years ago. It was very cute and fun and actually really awesome to see the animals. Not as big of a hype as Disney, but it was still fun nonetheless.

If you are looking for thriller rides, this is not a place to go. However, it you are aiming for a chance to explore marine life on a chill evening then this is the best place to be.
