San Diego Seaworld in 1 day?

[Kimlk32]

Hello everyone, we are going to go to San Diego in June and I haven't been to seaworld in a long time. Can you see everything in a day or do you need 2 days? We will have our 5 and 8 year old with us, whats not to miss for them? As well for the adults? Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I think for most folks, yes, one full day is good for most.

There are a lot of little exhibits you might miss though, so you might want 2 days to see EVERYTHING.

The Happy Harbor play area is great for kids to blow off steam.

The FREE Beer Tasting is great for adults (kids allowed in the area, but need to be 21 or older with ID to drink). The Brewmaster's Club is also great for adults, as you get both free beer, plus things like cheese, strawberries and chocolate that match up with the different type of beers. It is a nice little treat in the middle of the day.

ALL the main shows are must-sees.

Many kids love to feed the dolphins, check the schedule for feeding times (A charge of a few dollars to buy the fish).

If it is hot out, make sure and check out the Penguins in the middle of the day, since the exhibit will be in "winter" mode (Southern Hemisphere Much better than the iasw trick at DL

if you awnt to just go to all the main shows and do a couple rides. (well, they ONLY have a couple rides.) but if you want to see all the awesome penguins and four eyed fish and stuff i would recommend 2 days. especially with a 5 year old. ( i remember it took my family two days when i was five) ATTENTION!! MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!! THE PENGUIN ENCOUNTER IS CLOSED FOR REMODELING!! ONCE AGAIN THE PENGUIN ENCOUNTER IS CLOSED FOR REMODELING!! THANK YOU AND ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY HERE AT SEAWORLD SAN DIEGO"]
