Sea World??? About This Page:

Okay, I know it's all been asked but my search function is not really finding anything.

Is it worth it for my 2 year old (he is really into aquariums)?

Where are the deals?

How do I plan?

Transportation, we were planning on using magical express, but we could rent a car for a day or 2 or is it easier to get a cab, or what about those busses I remember reading about, can I bring my toddler on one...would I want to?

Any info. would be appreciated, last time I was there I think I was 5.

I'm not sure it worth it just for a 2 year old. I think I would wait a few more years for him. He can see wonderful aquariums at the Living Seas at Epcot for now with a lot of Nemo theming to make it a bit more entertaining.

Yes, he loves the Living Seas, the local aquariums, and we even took him to a marine park in the keys, with a little dolphin show that he liked...is that basically Sea World?

My DD was just a bit over 2 when I took her to Sea World. She loved it. She really enjoyed all of the shows and there was plenty to keep her entertained.

As far as discounts/deal, the only place I can think of where you can purchase discounted tickets is if you buy them ahead of time from AAA. There may be other discounts out there but I don't know of any.

Regarding transportation I've heard the some people take a bus from the TTC. I don't know anything about this. If it were me I would rent a car for a day or two from the Car Care Center or at the Dolphin Hotel and use that to get to Sea World.

2 might be a tad young but go for youreslves. Seaworld is an amazing park worth the entire day. The new Blue Horizons show is the best show I've ever seen in any park anywhere. I've been going to Seaworld for 20 years now and make sure I go every time I make the trip to WDW. You can take Mears for $17 per person (maybe not so good an idea with a toddler) or pay $55 round trip to TTC. I'd go for TTC - it's worth the extra $. They pick you up at the hotel and pick you up when you say. I can't stress enough what a pleasure an entire day at Seaworld is. And if you like it enough, you can go back for a second day free

Honestly, we hated Sea World. A lot. The only thing we liked was Kraken, which your son won't be old enough for. It was a glorified aquaruim. We could get into the NY Aquarium in Coney Island, which is honestly a LOT better, for $10, while it was $60 to get into Sea World. Not at all worth it. I see you're from Jersey, and I know there are a lot of aquariums in the tri-state area that are a million times better than Sea World! Unless you really have your heart set on it, I say save the money and spend extra time in the Living Seas, and then go to a regular aquarium when you get back!

We went we in 2004, the kids were 4 and 7. They didn't hate Sea World, but didn't rave about it, either. They were more excited when the Camden Aquarium re-opened after an extensive remodeling. Admission is a bit pricey, so you may want to reconsider and go when your son is a bit older.

I personally could take or leave Sea World, DH LOVES it, the kids liked it ok enough but haven't expressed an interest in going back anytime soon, my dad didn't really like it, and my mother could take it or leave it as well.

The sea lion show is great and of course Shamu! I did feel like we were walking back and forth sometimes to catch the shows just right.

We had TTC drive us - I think it was @ $55/RT and WELL worth it. Good luck in deciding!

I think Sea World is one of the best attractions in the US,in fact, it was the only reason we went to Orlando growing up- we never did the Disney parks! (Much has changed for me since then!).

I took my kids when they were toddlers and we all enjoyed it. I love how many of the attractions are walk throughs and many are indoors, which is a lifesaver during hotter months.

Highly recommend it!!

My kids LOVED Sea World! You will never know until you try

[Nicole0128]

Thanks, I think we are going to try it. My mom has her heart set on going now.

We used to go to Sea World every year when it was still in Ohio. DD loved it so much that she actually worked there one summer. We started takeing her when she was about 2 yrs. old.

Buy your tickets online before going. You can get a 20% discount if you type in PEPSI in the discount code box. We did this for our trip last month.

If you want to go for more than one day....just buy a one-day ticket and once you've entered the park go to the booth at the left and turn in that ticket for a new one good for the next 6 days. That gives you a chance to go back again if you really like it or miss some things you wanted to do.
