I do not know, who were more excited about the SeaWorld, us or the kids. We all had so much fun from the minute the gates were opened until the last show.
We spent the morning watching different educational shows about the animals and how SeaWorld takes care of them and studies them. We had been to plenty of zoos, so some of the animals like seals and otters, flamingos, snakes, penguins, etc. were not a surprise for us. At the same time, we had never seen a walrus or an orca, or a beluga or even a dolphin. It was a wondrous time.
Before the evening shows began, we had plenty of time to ride the rides. Andrew got his first roller coaster experience, and Dad and Saara got soaked on a rapids ride. It was a lot of fun!
The evening shows were filled with a lot of laughter and wonder. We managed to watch every single show, and all of them were memorable. Andrew's favorite was the Pet Show and Saara's the orcas' show. I loved the beluga and dolphin show the best. We all agreed that we would come back as soon as we can to watch the shows again and maybe take some time to interact with the animals as well.
