After coming to SeaWorld when I was a kid, I wanted to take my children to experience the fun and also see all of the amazing animals that I got to see. Now I can safely say that if it was to cost $110 per child when I was younger (accounting for inflation over the years keeping it relative), it would have been a stretch to ask for that with what we experienced then. It cost us $120 per adult and $110 per child. That was $460 for our family. What we got with that was: 1. An okay dolphin show that went for 5 minutes 2. A few sharks, fosh and jellyfish 3. Depressed penguins 4. Some rides (not all) 5. The worst stunt show (if you can even call it that) that you’ll ever see What it didn’t buy you was: 1. All the good rides (pay extra) 2. The $10 packet of chips 3. The food stalls that werent open (most of them) For those thinking of coming here for a bit of nostalgia and to show your kids the wonders of the sea, DON’T. You will be better off putting that money towards a nice experience with your kids. It was the worst decision I’ve made this year. And I’ve already made some terrible ones. Cheers

As part of a 3 day Warner Brothers pass we came here on Day 2. We've been here before but there were some new rides and the shows had changed. As much as I love looking after the animals I don't think getting people a little wet is a bad thing (I used to love the first three rows and getting wet). Now the most the dolphins do is a handwave. The show was still very good but a lot "tamer" than before. The new Leviathan ride was quite impressive (all wood and 89km/h). Wonder how long it will last before it starts needing maintenance but a very smooth and very fast ride. My 8 year old said it was "Terrifying" afterwards.. We spent a lot of time by the pirate ships getting soaked and soaking the kids as well as the splash pad (even the wife got soaked there) as it was soo swelteringly hot. Got some great view of the Polar Bears and Manta Rays and Sharks in the Aquarium. Overall good fun day out..

2 the dolphin show was absolutely pathetic. Lasted 7 mins, no jumping no splashing. About 5 mins of them racing around mostly underwater. And then the show ended. All the audience didn’t know what was going on and just sat there in silence

Visited from UK as a family of four including a 12 & 14 yr old. Firstly we went on the rides available at the time, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Visited all the marine attractions whoch was nice to see they were well looked after, we particular enjoyed bay reef touching the rays. We also did the dolphin family adventure, which was out of this world, our instructor Courtney i think her name was, was amazing, knowledgable, friendly and nice vibes, clearly passionate. The dolphin Cliffy was adorable and the whole experience was definately a bucket list. Memories for a lifetime. Also shoutout to the photographer for taking some awesome snaps. We also enjoyed the dolphin show and stunt show. Will 100% visit again if we come back to 🇦🇺 in the future.

Wonderful day with the family. Many rides for the kids, lots of interesting shows. Aquarium is sensational. Swimming with the dolphins is a superb experience Overall fantastic day

Park opens at 9.30am the most popular ride wasn't open until 10.30am. They kept us on the queue for one hour. Couldn't they try the ride before the parks open??!!

We have just had a delightful day with our children at Sea World. Without doubt the dolphin show, shark reef and penguins were firm favorites. Yes the wait time for rides was long but hey what more could you expect for school holidays. I was definitely a little surprised that pre purchasing your ticket earnt you a wait in a very very long line but if you decided to buy at the gate you walked right in 🤷🏻‍♀️ There were plenty of staff throughout the park but only 1 person running each kids ride. This was frustrating as the whole process of getting people on and off the ride could have easily been streamlined, hence reducing wait times considerably. Lots of shaded areas to stop at throughout the park but when lined up for a ride it was full sun. I also appreciated being able to take and enjoy a “packed lunch” keeping the cost of the day to entry fee and an ice-cream treat. There was 1 water refill station available so bring your drink bottles. Polar bear exhibit closed however after reading some reviews I can see why. Overall a day that I will always look back on with very happy memories (like I do from my childhood visit!)

The Sea World theme park was massive but easy to walk around and had sections of the park for everyone - the nice thing about Sea World is that there are a few big rides for the thrill seakers but then animal exhibits for those who want to get up close to some unique marine life and also some good kid areas for younger audiences. It feels like there's a dolphin exhibit around every corner and you get to be so close to them, even from the normal pathway! The dolphin show that runs a few times a day is awesome, and you can also see some amazing fish above and below ground in Shark Cove. The rides were great, maybe 5-6 ones for adults and then several for younger kids in the Nickelodeon area. Leviathan was awesome but waits over school holidays could be 40-min. My family loved Storm Chaser and most waiting areas were under shade, so that was good. However, the best part of Sea World was the Family Rescue Ranger Experience we purchased, on top of the park admission. The write up keeps the experience high-level, but it was absolutely amazing for my 3 kids, wife and I (max groups of 6, minimum group purchase for 4). The cost was around $600 but over the 2-hours, you get a private tour from one of the Sea World animal team-members, who takes you behind the scenes to see rehabing sea turtles, go in a glass bottom boat, snorkel through a reef pool (not the big reef snorkel - that's separate), pat and feed a sea lion, feed and interact with the dolphins (on land, not the in-water ones but still amazing) and a few other things. But the best part of it, was we got to go into the 'den' where the 3x polar bears are - Hudson, Nelson and Mishka and literally be 3-feet away from them, behind very protective fencing with all security protocol in place. I had no idea this was going to be a part of the tour and I was in awe the whole time during this part - we got to see the trainers and staff team feed them and talk about how they do the health checks, hear about how you keep artic mammels in a humid climate, and any other questions we all had. These are massive animals and to be that close to them was a once in a life time experience. In all, it was a great Christmas gift and my family will remember doing that for their whole lives. Shout-outs -Massive shout out and thank you to our guide, Tia, who was extremely informative, kind, patient, and had remembered all of our names by the time we left orientation. 5-star guide! -Deborah at Guest Services - extremely helpful in making sure we had all of the information sorted before our experience the day before. -Robyn with Animal Experiences, who made sure we were in the right place at the right time, shared some great history of the park and the other animal experiences that were on offer. All of these people, and their extended staff, were extremely kind the entire time and made sure we had what we needed or were quick to answer a question if we had one. We look forward to coming back again soon!

the lines were way too long, took us about 2 hours per ride and the workers were not working hard enough. i feel as if they should have more rides to separate the people.

I wanted to provide feedback about my visit today to your park. I was very very disappointed. My group has recently arrived from Singapore we come to this park for many years and the lovely lady named ?Robin? Was not there to help us. Every year we come she has helped my family with all the animal activities. She really friendly, very sad shes not here. The staff on today were absolutely useless, The young one - cannot remember her name, was particularly useless did not know anything about program.

We love this place so much and always make sure we visit when on holidays. Staff are friendly and parking is easy. We had a frustrating start to our day with all prepaid ticket holders forced to enter through a longer line than the general sales queue. When we reached the entrance, it all made sense. Park photos (Green screen) that slowed the queue that of course are not part of the ticket price. Please open the main queue and let people enter more efficiently as I’m sure like many families, we just want to get inside and enjoy the park.

The Dolphin show is a must. The Seal and jetski shows are good. There are rides for the whole family. Lethiathan is awesome but hurts your neck with all the jerking movement. Don't miss the aquarium.

Visited Sea World with family. I was pleased to see that the dolphin show had changed, showing more respect for these beautiful creatures. The stunt show also had changed but it was fun to watch and a little funny. We had 2 little ones with us and ended our day at the kids water park. We also cooled off by joining them. Great space for adults, teens and little ones alike. Would have loved to do the helicopter ride but really overpriced for just a 5 minute flight. We can fly for 1/2 hour at that price. I was also disappointed there was no monorail. Would love to see this run again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day at SeaWorld. I haven't been to Seaworld for years and this was my two young daughters' first time (aged 5 and 9). We loved our day there! Lots of fun and rides for everyone. The children loved the underwater exhibit and we spent a fair chunk of time enjoying the reef underwater observatory. Special mention to Rosalie who helped us with directions when we first arrived at the theme park, Maddie at Dockside and Felicity at the JetSki ride (who helped reassure my daughter!). Everyone we encountered during our day there was friendly and happy to help. We also stayed at SeaWorld Resort which made getting to and from Seaworld easy :) . Highly recommend!

Some fun rides and exhibits. But I couldn’t shake the fact the polar bear was visibly heat stressed and panting. For an animal comfortable at sub zero temperatures, it was hard to believe it was made to live in hot weather. I was hot in a t-shirt and shorts, let alone thick fur. And dolphins bred for show…? Clearly questionable ethics here
