Today was the best day of the holiday so far! We went to the wonderful Seaworld. When we arrived we went to guest services for fast passes for the rides. They were only $20 each. We bought dolphin encounter tickets too. Very different from 10 years ago,now you pay $15 each to be in a group of 8 with a trainer and 2 dolphins. You cant take photos but they take them for you, for a price of course. You get to stroke the dolphins and they splash you, a lot. It was great. They feel like rubber.
We also stroked sting rays, saw the wonderful Manatees, giant turtles, and went on a walk with Flamingos!
The dolphin show included dolphin acrobatics, human acrobatics and a flock of parrots. The Clyde and Seamore sea lion show was the best and hilarious. They did all sorts of tricks, and there was a cute cameo from an otter. Best of all was a walrus doing sit ups at the end,spectacular!
We watched the show introducing and giving information on killer whales, the Shamu show, where the killer whales jump in the air and drench the audience.
We 'flew a helicopter' into the arctic to see a beluga whale and seals, and went into a 0° penguin arena. The weather today was sweltering, and no rain! Yay! We saw sharks and went through a moving walkway aquarium of sharks.
The rides are amazing at Seaworld. Journey to Atlantis is a log flume which cooled us down nicely. Kraken is a fun roller coaster and Manta is the best roller coaster EVER! Its got a loop where you go over forwards, instead of the usual backwards loop. We sat in tbe front row. Awesome!
There is a 300ft high tower with a moving viewing platform that we went up which was fun.
We got subway on our way home. You cant get meatball subsin Germany, so i was very happy.
An absolutely fantastic day.
Lovely photos of you with the Dolphins! It certainly sounds like an amazing day!
