Sea World San Antonio

We visited Sea World San Antonio this week.  I hadn't been there in about 10 years.  The cost is expensive for a family.  Individual adults single day tickets are $60, kids $50.  There are some coupons out there for $5 off but I decided to go with the full price and take advantage of the Fun Pass.  We can go back as many times as we want until January 1 for that price.  Our out of town friends purchased the Family Four Pack for $47.50 per person.  We purchased a general parking pass online and upgraded to preferred parking when we got to the park for an extra $5.  The closeness of the space was well worth it, especially when we were tired at the end of the day.

We went on a Tuesday and there were hardly any lines for the rides.  Mid-week is definitely best for these types of parks.  We had four adults and three kids under 10.  We went to the new Shamu show, One Ocean, which was spectacular to see.  I struggle with the moralness of these animals in captivity but my five year old was amazed at the tricks.  We watched the Sea Lion show which was cute, at the top of the splash zone we only got a misting of water.  The show with the water skiers was a favorite.  All the kids rode the Shamu Express, Journey to Atlantis and Rio Loco.  The big kids also rode the Steel Eel.  The Rio Loco was a lot of fun with a chance for spectators to spray the riders with water, 25 Cents for two shots of water.  Well worth that quarter!

Our group arrived after eating lunch before we entered the park and stayed until closing.  We brought bottles of water and refilled them at all the water fountains there which had great tasting cold water.

The adults enjoyed this and the kids thought is was one of the best days ever!  If you can swing the cost it is recommended.
