Overall it was a good experience. The big issue that needs addressed is the quick que system. We were taken back that we all had to keep track of either a paper ticket or have your phone for all rides. We went as a family of 6 and my 2 younger children do not have phones. They should do a wristband or something similar like the do with the all day dining. The all day dining was well worth the money for us and I highly encourage it if you plan to eat in the park.
First off be prepared for lines ...wait times can be so crazy. I recommend buying fast pass/quick que for rides. We went during October Halloween Events and it was so much fun. Haunted Houses were fun and scary. The entire park was so neat at night. If you have a little one or any one who does not want to be frightened by a staff member while walking the park. You can purchase Do Not Disturbe gravestone necklaces or ghost necklaces that light up. The staff member knows not to jump scare them. Now if your worried about one person wearing the necklace and you have other people that want to be scared...dont worry they will still scare you. My son had a necklace and I walked with him ...they did not scare him at all but they sure did scare me. Now the Haunted houses are pretty much in every location of the park. We really enjoyed this theme park during Halloween. Tons of different characters walking around to scare people. We had fun.
This is a nice, family friendly park with lots of fun activities, rides, and shows. However, some rides are closed at different times which can make a visit hit-or-miss. The shows are great and lines for rides are never too long.
I hadn't been in 20 years, what fun! The Orca show was great, they provide upbeat music while the orcas jump. We ate at the BBQ place outside of the Orca show. I had the Chicken with salad side and red velvet cupcake. Yum! Very filling. They have rides, an arcade and 0lenty of shows to fill the day. Great place.
I visited SeaWorld during the Christmas holiday week and would like to share feedback on same. Due to the holiday season, there was a very heavy crowd, with a large number of families and young children gathered primarily for the Christmas lighting events. While this was expected, the crowd and queue management for rides could have been handled more efficiently. Although the staff on the ground appeared to be trying their best, there was a clear lack of coordination. For example, on rides such as Atlantis and Steel Eel, we consistently observed 6–8 empty seats per ride. These seats could have been utilized by allowing single riders to fill gaps, which would have significantly reduced wait times. Our group split up and attempted rides individually based on preference, yet each ride still took close to 1-1.5 hours.(Refer to the attached image in review).During this time, we noticed many families with young children leaving disappointed after being unable to complete even two rides. The cost of the visit also added to the disappointment. The entry fee was $61 per person, and general parking was $41. With this pricing, a reasonable expectation would be the ability to experience at least a few rides. However, it became apparent that completing more rides was only feasible by paying an additional $41 for Quick access. This made the experience feel heavily oriented toward paid add-ons rather than guest satisfaction. While the parade was enjoyable, the overall experience did not meet expectations considering the total cost and time invested. I hope this feedback reaches management and contributes to improvements in future peak-season operations. Based on this experience, I will need to reconsider visiting again.
