On our recent trip we did one day at SeaWorld and it was awesome (I am almost to our SeaWorld day on my TR....check back in a few days). We arrived at the park as soon as it opened and left at around 4pm....feeling like we had done plenty. Everyone really enjoyed it (including my 3 1/2 year old and 16 month old). DH and I loved it because we were able to grab a beer on our way to the Believe show
There is a GREAT Kiddie area with LOTS to do (mini coasters and rides, HUGE playground area, splash areas, etc...). We spent a good 2 hours here. Avery (my 3 1/2 year old, will still say that her favorite thing the entire trip was the coasters & rides at SeaWorld)
Highlights were:
1. feeding the Dolphins (you have to check the times and stand in line for your tray(s) of fish)....this was the biggest highlight. The kids just couldn't believe they were touching and feeding dolphins. Here are a couple of pictures:
2. Believe (shamu show...it was wonderful)
3. They have a new dolphin/ bird show that I saw for the first time that was pretty good.
4. Sea Lion show was cute
We didn't do quite a few things, but did all of the things that we came to do. I think Sea World is a great place for a 4 year old.
