Reviews of SeaWorld San Antonio (Park)

Jordon Haas

Worth the price if you go to the shows! Our day was full of things to do. We had plenty of time for all rides (included in ticket price) and the shows. Definitely check out the sea lion show! We loved Monica at the sea lion show!

Don Dubois

Very nice place to cool off, learn about sea life, and have fun while learning. Great place for young and old alike. Beat the food prices of a theme park by bringing your own cooler of drinks and food. Can be very warm on summer afternoons. That is the time to catch the water shows. If you want to cool off even more just move on up to the splash zones. You will get wet with cool water.

Ubed Mohammed

Very distinctive place to all age groups, we visited the ATLANTIS and Loved the ride. Sea Lion show and Killer Whale show was amazing and the staff seemed to be very well learned and were communicating and imparting good fun bits about the animals. One day may not be enough for this huge park to cover all the rides/places. I felt parking fee was way too much, not sure if they can cut down on it as they have lots of parking spots available. Overall it was a fun filled.

Nissa Sims

It's an awesome place to get together with your family and have fun&see animals you normally wouldn't see up close❣️

Matthew Mitstifer

Fun shows, lots of restaurants. If you like seats life this is the place to go! They have Sea otters, orcas, belugas, killer whales, and more. They also have several big roller coasters if you like thrills, the steel eel was a bit much for me though. A good way to spend a day.

Geniya Talsky

Great place to take our 6 & 5 year olds. Not a place i would recommend for most kids over maybe 9-10 because most of the rides are geared towards little kids. We had a great time for 3 days and didn’t run out of things to do. The shows are fantastic. The park is set up very well so there is plenty of shade as you walk around.

Stephanie Proo

Great place for the family. Lots of fun, wish there were more areas to get away from the sun and ac places especially with the heat index at 110 , nice to have a cool place to relax in.

Keila Santiago

The animals are adorable, it's a great experience for all ages. The only complaint I have is that the prices at the souvenir stores and restaurants are outrageously high. I just hope all that extra $ goes to saving innocent animals in need.

Adam Arreola

Finally got to go to SEAWORLD and it was awesome! Loved the Halloween theme. Nice haunted maze/house.

KURT & BRENT

The place was way over it's capacity, we left when it was already dark and in the parking lot THERE WAS NOT LIGHTS you couldn't even see your own hand. You have to be careful using your cellphone that way car does not run over you, there was not security at all. The lines was about 2 hrs waiting. There were people fainting because how hot it was. We bought the bracelet to eat every 90 min. NOT WORTH IT!! Lines to eat were impossible. They run out of food and the employees were young people that did not have any idea of what to do. We also bought the tickets for special areas for the shows THEY LET EVERYONE pass, no worth it either. We could get in 2 rides and 2 shows. too much preparation for a trip for what you get. The only thing worthy it was to see the animals in the 2 shows that were too short. I hope you get a better luck than us.

TANK

Shows were good. I don't see any other reason to go there though besides the shows. There are other parks with better rollercoasters and water rides.

Waited 2 hrs in line for an estimated 1 hr wait per staff notification at the Rio Loco. As I waited, I observed ineffective processes in play to offload and load customers. Seems those with Quick Passes were immediately getting priority as they walked up to the front, by which ignores those hundreds of others waiting patiently for hrs to enjoy the park amenities. The turntable was stopped more often than should be to conduct transfer of riders thereby reducing efficient flow of the rider wait time. Family members were resting anywhere they could to keep from standing the duration while the other members were holding their place in line. Lack of leadership meant lack of process control for lean management of wait time.

Michael Casares

We had a good time. There is so much to do. The first ride, steel eel, was fun. Our first ride as a family and it was priceless. We have the photo to prove it. To bad y'all won't be able to see it. The sea lion show was funny and it was a great way to end our day here. We'll come again.

John Almaraz

So long and thanks for all the fish! SeaWorld gets a bad rap but it's an amazing place. Animals that my kids would normally never see they get to interact with and respond to. Park is always clean and staff is always attentive. This is our 1st year getting season pass and that too was a great idea for our family. SeaWorld is always a great time.

Ana Becerra

Beautiful place, I completely recommend going to the shows, they're so worth it! (Arrive 10 minutes early to get a good seat!)

Markevia Howard

It was Amazing. The rides were exciting. Sea world is an eventful place with many eye catching sites. The dolphins were the sweetest and most adorable animals you could ever meet.

Denise Gandy

Walked 6 miles and enjoyed every bit of it. First time there. Loved watching my grand kids enjoying the rides. Loved it would go there again.

Brady Williams

Incredible time with my family! The park has gotten even better with time. It's perfect for young and old families. It's even better than I remember as a child. I am happy so much has gone back into the park with it's staff, attractions and the animals to create better experiences for my family and I than expected. Thank you!

Jeremy Villines

What an amazing experience! This park has something for everyone, rides for all ages, food around every corner, rides to get wet, rides to go super fast, and rides to just sit back and chill! The Waverunner rollercoaster is a must, I haven't rode anything like it before. We went on a Saturday and the park was relatively bust but the lines still moved relatively quickly.

Courtney Payne

Amazing! The orca and beluga whale shows are a must see for every child! TV does it no justice. I especially liked the all day dining addition, you could eat every hour! There were also seal and dolphin shows which were incredible. It's crazy how smart they are.

Susan Sharp

Such a fun place for families and kids. Park is huge, so much to see and do! We were there all day and still didnt see everything. Kids had a blast. Highly recommend renting their stroller ($20-for the day...durable and super easy to push-fits 2 kiddos) made day even more enjoyable.

Ericka Gonzalez

Our first time here and we really enjoyed it. Make sure to take lots of sunscreen and keep reapplying. Getting wet in the splash pads is the key to keeping cool! San Antonio's humidity is intense! Make sure to buy the refillable cups. There was 4 of us and 2 cups worked perfectly. There's plenty of stations to refill through out Sea world. We got our tickets online and it was way cheaper. Make sure you sign up for Sea Worlds email new and you'll get good deals. We didn't eat there. The food didnt really catch our eye. The shows are awesome! So much to do! So plan to spend at least 6hrs there.

Golden Falcon

Clean recreational park. Fast efficient service. Employees are patient, friendly, and courteous. I have never been disappointed with Service or Quality. Outstanding educational shows. Fun rides and activities. Aquatica fun place for family and friends to enjoy each other and have a fun time. Well worth the money.

tammy sch

We had so much fun. A little pricey for water (it was 100°that day), but other than that a great place to go with kids.

Brenda Robertson

This was a day full of fun and worth every penny! We purchased the VIP animal experience and asked them to tailor it to our preferences since we had already been swimming with dolphins. Everyone was very accommodating. Being behind the scenes was an excellent opportunity to ask questions about husbandry, enrichment and training. It was well worth the money spent to get an up close look at these amazing animals and learn more about them while helping give them their daily enrichment.

Jacqueline Benitez

I really enjoy bringing my kids back almost every year. It is fun, easy to get around and plenty to see and do. If you get the all day dining it is a plus specially in the summer when you need to drink more often. We look forward to going back.

Susan Lowenstein

Fantastic day. Wonderful weather. We reserved a cabana for the day, which was wonderful. Allowed us to avoid the sun & relax. Great rides. 3 grandchildren enjoyed everything!

C Revi

Rides and shows are excellent. They really take care of the animals and put on an informative and a spectacular show. Food is absolutely terrible, quality control is dreadfully needed. Dry and stale food/fruits at every venue we visited, which ruins the whole experience.

Christine Cyr

Just visited the water park and it was fantastic. The wave pool was the best part of all

Lee Ries

Lots of fun for the whole family! We enjoyed watching our grandson run around in the splash pads. There was plenty of shade for us to stay cool even though we weren't in the water, so that is definitely a good thing.

Sylvia Collazo

Had a terrible day at SeaWorld today. It was overcrowded and very little staff to control crowds. We were only able to make one show after being there for several hours because of the lines for stroller rental, line to enter and show ticket, lines to get in restaurants etc. We stood in the sun for 40 mins to get in a restaurant and paid for all you can eat pizza and pasta bar at a register then manager told us it would be awhile because they couldn’t keep up with demand and tables were not readily available. It was total chaos. We got in to see Sea Lion High and when the show started people were standing in the aisle. We couldn’t see the show and there was absolutely no one to ask people to please move away from the aisle. I saw people arguing with each other and no one to contact. I did not feel it was a safe environment for our family. Then after the show we walked out and someone stole our stroller rental with our child’s clothes! Also, if there is a dress code there was no one to enforce it, so you can only imagine. We decided to leave and speak to customer service. They didn’t really care or apologize. Waste of time and money!

Terry Cash

Wow just Wow! We had fun but WON’T go back!!!! Expensive and totally WON’T work with you. Be careful about buying reserved seating. We did and seating was worse than regular seating. Went back and received a credit on my card. Still have NOT received credit. Three phone calls and still NO credit! They want me to drive 10 hours back to park with my receipt.

Inge Lewis

Went during the week and head a great time! Staff is very friendly! We were able to ride all the rides with no waiting! The coasters were fantastic!! Can't wait to go back!

Morgan Cummings

I loved it I highly recommend you plan ahead go early get the vip parking to be closer to the park where you won’t find it dark etc. and the killer whales was amazing they where fantastic!!! it is hot but it’s out of the parks control just stay cool hydrated yourself

Nina Dang

I brought my kid here a couple of times and both time he had tons of fun. The park is clean and well kept. My kid loved the little water park and the pet ahoy show. Be sure to be at pet ahoy show on time bc you can’t get in after the show starts. I might get annual pass next year

Shell Jay

Going during summers hottest months can be torturous. The heat is exhausting, and can really put a damper on your experience. However, if you can get over that aspect of it, the park is nice, and the featured shows are entertaining and somewhat worth it. Surprisingly the pets ahoy show that featured domestic pets was at the top of my list of entertaining. You can find good deals by purchasing tickets for multiple days; however, keep in mind that they charge for each individual day that you attend...$23/ regular parking, and $4 more for closer parking. Can’t remember if some deals offer parking included or not, but if they don’t, these are the prices as of 2019.

Nikki Shaw

I love sea world. We always have a great time when we visit. So great that we hate coming home. The park is always clean. The bathrooms are always clean. They have great shows and the rides are so fun. I only gave 4 stars because the park gets so packed you can’t walk sometimes. The food is over priced! And I disagree with the quick Q passes. Sometimes you wait in line for hours to ride because the quick Q can cut you. They’ll get off the ride and right back on it so the line takes forever to move. We’ve waited 2 hours before. As much as they charge for the tickets 2 hours waiting in a line is wasting the day away. I think they should do away with the quick Q. That way everybody can have equal opportunity to do things. The quick Q is nice for some people but for big families It’s to expensive. Over all we had a blast. I think a few small changes would make it better.

Elke Schabel

We visited Sea World with relatives from Germany and spent a - mostly - wonderful 4 hours watching the shows, riding the Steel Eel roller coaster and eating lunch. One irritant was the extremely loud PA system at every venue. If the sound were 10 decibels lower, it could still be heard by everyone in the audience, and the entertainers would be easier to understand. The loud sound system tends to distort speech, not to mention hurt peoples' ears.

gina streed

Love the experience we have had so far, staff is friendly, shows are amazing. Food is extremely overpriced and not very good. We going back for round two today so hopefully another amazing fun filled day...

Melissa Tolliver

It is so much fun. Animals, rides, shows something for everyone. Sesame Place was great for my three year old grandson. Food was on the pricey side but was good.

Kenny Dooley

It was fun hardly any crowds. But that's bc school was back in for San Antonio. The shows were fun but with they did more with the animals vs talking. There was more talking than there was a show. Other wise good time.

Angela Edwards

Great family experience! I would definitely recommend purchasing a two-day pass (at minimum) because of the size of the park. There's something for all! The variety of live shows are phenomenal and engaging. I look forward to returning and completing the parts of the park I didn't visit this time around!

Kayla Cosmi

Great fun for the family. And what they are doing for animals both there and in the wild is spectacular!

Alexis Pierce

So much to do! Definitely will need 2 days next time to see and do everything. I would suggest getting there early to ride the rides while the lines are short. The animals are beautiful! And the splash zone is no ta joke!

MMG

Sea world is honestly some of the most fun I have every year. I usually go every summer and I always look forward to going there. The Rides are so much fun and the shows are always enjoyable. The Food is great and the actually water park has a lot to offer. As they say, It's fun for the whole family, And it truly does appeal to all ages. Just arriving at the parking lot always puts me in a good mood. If you ever come to San Antonio, this place is a must!

Divyaxi Patel

The orca's shows and the seas lions performance and the beluga whales and the very energetic dolphins shows are all worth watching They are so so adorable and they have cute performances with the trainers too!! Sea world also has some amazing rides!! The most fun is steel eel, the great white roller coaster, sea swinger, journey to Atlantis and wave breaker They have a separate section for kids and there are some fun rides for them too!! We went during Halloween and the theme decorations and horror house was something!

Princeofpeace

Loved coming here today. We were here from 1030 am and we left at 930. We loved the two water rides and kept riding them since it was so hot. Went to the 3 animal shows and saw a musical on stage for Halloween which was fun. Enjoyed our stay and hope to do it again in the future.

Savannah Lyle

I have went to SeaWorld ever since I was 13 I'm 17 now and it never gets old. I love everything about it the animals, shows, roller coasters, and water park. I would definitely recommend going here. Its great for the kids and just as fun for the adults. I know every time my family goes we have a blast

Steven Babb

It’s not enough to have a clean park with short lines and reasonably priced food. SeaWorld San Antonio has all those things but is significantly lacking in one very important area: the staff. The majority of employees appear to be under 20 and seem more interested in one another than their guests. Many have flat out poor attitudes and there were numerous instances where I found myself legitimately surprised at the overall demeanor directed toward guests. Many of them seemed disinterested in being there and I could probably count on one hand how many smiles we saw during our 6 hours there. From the young man at the security gate who just flat out told me “Empty your pockets” as if I was being booked into jail to the guy in the underwater dolphin viewing area in Destination Point who was quite literally yelling at every person to not touch the glass. Cool, we get it, don’t touch the dang glass but kids (such as my 19 month old son) get excited and aren’t going to be responsive to your yelling anyway. Then there was the young lady working at Great White who looked me plain in my face and asked, “Do you not see what’s in front of you?” as she performed the safety check on the ride. And, no, prior to that I had not noticed the row in front of me was empty but that is no excuse to try to demean a paying guest. Prior to our visit my wife and I bought annual passes. Practically every aspect of our experience has us excited to return but our experience with the staff certainly gives us pause. SeaWorld should consider sending their employees to Fiesta Texas for the day so they can see first hand how park employees SHOULD treat guests.

Brandi Matthews

Heat was awful and not many places 2 cool off as a family ~ Shows were timed 2 close together that it was very difficult getting from one location to the next in time for seating (especially with handicap and children) ~ bought a fan 2 help with the heat for my 3 year old that required batteries & NOT one person or shop had the proper screwdriver to remove the back for batteries (wasted money and disappointed in customer service) ~ I would reconsider time and day u attend the parks and don't anticipate seeing all the shows especially if u have small children or family in a wheel chair!!! Never have I been to a park where I spent lots of $$$ and have been soo disappointed in ~ we don't plan on returning

Jeff Layton

Everything was great except the sea lion show and I wish the shark tank was bigger and more interactive. I've seen other shows at other parks but this one was really boring and way to much talking and not enough of sea lion action. We left during the last part of the show. But the rides were awesome and the killer whale show was amazing.

Vee Gonzales

My family and I almost didn't make it this trip but so glad we did. Entertainment was amazing, staff was even better. Their customer service was spot on, polite helpful and all seem to enjoy their job. You can take in your own snacks and drinks which allowed us to play more games and buy gifts without feeling like you are going home broke. Love this place. Buy your tickets online much cheaper and would suggest getting a 3 day pass yo see everything if they have them available.

John Doyle

The whole day was great. We we. All the shows were great, but the sea lion high show was awesome. We there from open to close. Pacific paradise fun too feeding sea lions.

Justin K

Amazing park and attractions. The food there is pretty good also I recommend getting the daily eating pass. You can eat every 90 min for free, and the $25 you pay for it pays for itself the first time you use it.

LaRonda Gates

Great park but it is expensive for snacks, drinks and even parking. I really think the parking should be free but I know that will never happen. We had a good time and the kids love it so just be prepared to spend some money.

Dayaa Anand

Great place to visit in the city of San Antonio for all age groups. Past couple of years, I have personally seen lot of new additions in the park. Though the main attractions’ are the KILLER whales, the one with SEA LIONS are second to none, where one can enjoy the jovial nature of these sea creatures. Also a big thumps up to the support staff who are very knowledgeable and supportive to all visitors. Keep up the GREAT SHOW guys

Felipe Gallardo

Most shows are okay but not the same as they used to be a few years back. They even have a show criticizing themselves but it's still worth the watch. SeaWorld is still a great place to visit for Aquatica mainly, as for the main resort it's about a 4 out of 5. Good shows, great rides and more on the way.

Patrick Gibson

We had a great time. Shows were informative and fun. Lots to see and do. Several exciting rides. The only down side was the map provided. We managed but it could be a little clearer. Many nice staff members and trainers.

Harrison

We really enjoyed all of the shows, except for the sea lion show. That one definitely needs some work. There was plenty of shade and places to get out of the heat. The rides were nice and seemed to be decently maintained. The food was good and reasonably priced for a theme park. The only downfall was the staff. Many of the food and ride employees were unfriendly and clearly didn't want to be there. I dont think I saw them smile once. And goodness, for labor day weekend, you would think they would have more than one person serving plates at the BBQ restaurant.

Kate Kate

Sea World has something for everyone. They have specials on park tickets because the price for admission can be steep, they have rides and activities for the young and old. It is an outdoor amusement park, so of course you'll do a lot of walking, they have two parks connected, which is a great way to beat the heat and also enjoy the animals and shows. They also have a brochure with the times and locations of the shows, which is a great way to experience everything. With any amusement park, parking cost, and the prices on food and beverages can be steep, check out their deals online, and go because it's worth it.

Genaro Cano

With an annual pass it's awesome. Dirt cheap and we come so often it's well worth the money. Fun place to walk around and have a beer.

Monika Bee

We always have a great time at SeaWorld! The shows were good & the park was clean. The staff members we talked to were all very helpful. We will come back again!

Melvin Carter

So much fun! Hot, hot, and more hot in July. They had several areas to cool off. One area was kept at 53 degrees and had music. Also fans that let out a mist of water with the air. Very well thought out. Great for families with children. Of course 53 degrees to cool off, as often as you like, and the aquatic shows and rides?.... A bit pricey but can be worth it.

Sarah Kate Smith

The highlight of my trip to Sea World San Antonio was that I managed to go on a day that was not crowded. My husband and I went on a Wednesday and basically walked straight on to every ride we wanted to do. The shows were very enjoyable and engaging. We saw the dolphin/beluga whale show and the killer whale show. We also walked through the penguin exhibit. They also had a new turtle viewing area. We also saw flamingos and alligators. My biggest complaint is that you pay an unreasonable amount of money for EVERYTHING. After paying the entry fee for your ticket, you have to pay 25 dollars for parking and 2 dollars an hour for storage lockers while you go on the rides. You are pretty much forced to buy the lockers because they have a worked that will stop you before you can get on the line and say you cant take it up there. Food and drink prices are high. For as much money as you spend in a day here, sea world should be able to remove every single piece of plastic from the oceans.

Paul Obias

Get the kids food pass worth it. If you go to the pizza place you can feed 2 kids and 2 Adults with this. Bring water and lots of ice hats and spray bottles as It gets hot. Atlantis and loco river was awesome.

alynda hall

Family had a great day at the park, enjoyed the shows and rides. SeaWorld could attempt to be more efficient in their restaurants and loading and unloading of rides. Too much time is spent waiting. A more accurate map would also be helpful.

Jenny Flores

It was so fun but was way to hot and they don't have very many shaded areas. When u find a shaded area they are so many people there trying to get out of the sun it's like your standing in line for the shade.

Albert Conner III

The theme park is fairly small but the shows are what it’s all about. The shows and the staff that coordinates them are incredible, and do not disappoint! The rides have some thrills but wear a bath insult and sit close to the shows. My kids and I had a great visit this July!

Princeofpeace

Loved coming here today. We were here from 1030 am and we left at 930. We loved the two water rides and kept riding them since it was so hot. Went to the 3 animal shows and saw a musical on stage for Halloween which was fun. Enjoyed our stay and hope to do it again in the future.

Chad Fontenot

No organization for parking. Just pay and go and hope you don't get hit by another vehicle. Nobody guiding you to park. Lines too long for rides and for refreshments. Shows were good but get there early. Price to get in to high for me. No price on board to let you know how much a single day ticket coast.

Tiffany Johnson

The shows were great and the food prices were reasonable. The parade was really cute and energetic. Sea World supports the Veterans, which is very neat!

Stephen Daw

Is it a theme park or an aquarium? Rides were fun. Sea life was great. Really enjoyed the aquatic shows. The whales and dolphins are amazing. Marvelous creatures. I love the ladies that worked with the animals, they all had such high energy and great showmanship. You can tell they work hard and love what they do. Parking prices are outrageous. $23 to park in an area where there is plenty of space? Food was okay and priced high as expected. Well worth the visit all in all.

Amber Ilyas

My kids enjoyed it but I believe they should start some train inside park so people with small kids can go from one point to other easily instead of renting strollers which also you can take after some point. It was sun and it's not possible to see everything in a day or two atleast take 3-4 days out to watch everything.. drinks itself are very expensive better to get refill bottles

Shauna Luangraj

This location had some major upgrades since our last visit. Parking was organized, we did pay for VIP parking and I recommend it. You think the heat is bad while visiting Sea World? IF you have to walk a few miles to your car on the black top after you'll know the true meaning of hot. It's worth a few extra bucks to park close. The entrance and security were both organized and quick moving. Unfortunately one of the three water rides was closed during our visit but the others was fun. The shows were great. Jack Hanna was there and he didn't disappoint. The main show was great, however the process of the line outside needs some help. Line up an hour early if you want in the "soak or splash zone". 30 minutes before the show started there was only standing room at the top of the huge stadium. Lets talk food: I don't expect much and years ago it was awful The cafeteria style BBQ place was the best thing we found. It's huge and gives a nice air conditioned break. The places along the walk way that offer drinks are a nice treat for parents lol. Although my kids are to old for it now, the new Sesame Street area is amazing and my kids would have loved it when they were little.

Staci Marshall

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at SeaWorld San Antonio doing the Ultimate Animal Experience!! Our guide, Ben was amazing and ultra accommodating!! We enjoyed "meeting" all the animals and the VIP treatment we received. This package was definitely worth the extra money. Thank You Ben and SeaWorld for making our vacation great!!

Mary Candler

Really great park. Discovery Point was a favorite for my family. Also enjoyed Sesame Street area for kids.

Reddy

Super crowded. They offer deals on tickets but they increase the price for food and beverages inside the park and make you pay 3 times of the ticket price. They need to have more food places. The wait time to get a slice of pizza for $9 is 30-45 minutes and there are only 3 items on the menu.

AquariusLady Gorgeouz

I had a great time at Seaworld! The shows are phenomenal! I wish the park had larger restrooms and restaurants. I've been here before but when I went last month the restrooms and restaurants had extra long lines. The park should have built these things bigger to accommodate such a large crowd of visitors. I did appreciate the Cooling off sections in the park. Overall I had a great time!

James Fields

Beluga whale show very fun and informative. Pet review / parade show HILARIOUS ! Staff very polite,friendly,and helpful. Rosita's Cafe good food and little to no wait. Nice to see park hiring many staff with special needs !

Drake Dolan

Went for the first time ever yesterday with family and had the most fun ever! I really recommend this place! Lots of fun not just for kids but also for adults! Cant wait to go again soon!

April

Very first time me and my family has gone. Over all a nice place to go. We loved the orca shows, very entertaining. I do recommend and would love to go back.

Robert

A great place but don't be deceived into thinking that you can see it all-in-one day. If you want to see all the shows and see all the animals, you really need to 3 days. Especially if you also go to the waterpark. My kids got to swim with dolphins in my wife and I swam with a beluga whale. Where else can you do both of those things?

Ming Luo

We basically spent the whole day going from show to show. But the all day dining deal is worth it. It'll feed a family of 3 if you take turns eating every 90 minutes!

Mitzi Drzymala

Hot hot hot. Why oh why did I go in the summer. Otherwise the kids loved it. Went during the week so not many people there.

Sarah Chapman

It was amazing! Everyone was so helpful and my family and I got to pet the beluga whales and it was a life changing experience. Not only that, but I got to feed the sea lions. It was magnificent. I'm now considering majoring in marine conservation!

DeAndre Adamich

This place is awesome to come and visit and the best part is that military members get to come every year free. The park is very clean, and the wait times for rides is fast to almost no wait! Their swim park is huge, and provides tons of different rides for all ages.

Divyaxi Patel

The orca's shows and the seas lions performance and the beluga whales and the very energetic dolphins shows are all worth watching They are so so adorable and they have cute performances with the trainers too!! Sea world also has some amazing rides!! The most fun is steel eel, the great white roller coaster, sea swinger, journey to Atlantis and wave breaker They have a separate section for kids and there are some fun rides for them too!! We went during Halloween and the theme decorations and horror house was something!

Ryan Martinez

Go early to avoid the lines for rides, All day dine pass is worth it. Lockers for rides are big enough for a backpack, and cheap. And the shows are always great. Oh and be careful with the gift shops, lots of nice things in there.

El Bayda

Our kids love seaworld. The place is tremendous fun for kids and adults. The employees are very friendly and welcoming. My son is obsess with Elmo, and all my family enjoy ahoy pet, and it is our favorite show. They really care about their pets and animals. This summer was a lot of fun with all the events that they hosted, and their bring a friend for free or $10 that make it very enjoyable for us to bring our nephews. Cannot wait to see seaworld decorations in Christmas!

Rd C

Great place for the kids. We enjoyed the day. Very hot but we did the all day eating package which was a great idea and choice. Gave us a chance to cool off every couple of hours. We also did the reserved seating..not really needed for a week day.

Brandon Hiesler

SeaWorld is always and will always be my top go to vacation destination. My 3 Y/O had a blast this year. The park was very clean as well. This year the family had a blast interacting with the dolphins and my son was so excited to be able to feed the dolphins. All of the trainers/vendors/staff where very nice and very knowledgeable. Felt safe in the park both days seeing the EMT/Security. Everytime we go and watch these amazing animals it seems like the animals always have huge smiles on their faces, and really enjoy what they are doing. The only problem I had was the pets ahoy show was a little on the loud side and my son couldn't stay and finish the show (sensory issues). My wife and I love the show though.

Awanish Kumar

It's amazing place. Huge crowd. We seen many shows unique

Janelle Shepard

Loved all the shows and rides. Not interested in the Halloween gore, but we had a great time. Thanks for the great shaded areas on this 95 degree Sept. Day.

1st time visiting. Liked it. This was a nice weekend getaway & a place the entire family can enjoy. One suggestion, though, maybe have free water coolers/machines positioned throughout the park and/or near the rides for those long(er) lines or wait times. I mean, as patrons we do pay for EVERYTHING, having cold water, especially on those hot days, can go a long way :-) Have recommended & plan to go again

Brie Sheerin

So much fun! The sea life exhibits are amazing, especially the sharks! The food left a bit to be desired, but the rides and education made up for it!

Alize Soria

You only have to pay for the ticket. They have rides, you get to see Shamoo, and they also have an aquatic area for the summer. So yes it is a really great time.

aka Allen

Total awesomeness! Highly recommended due to customer service, get the quick passes, get there an hour early to watch the shows or get the reserved seating like we did!... The only down side is you won't get splashed by the whales from this seating....We will definitely be going back!!!

Jo Alba

Had to pay for lids and straws. They forced you to buy bags to carry everything you bought.starting at 19.99.had to pay extra to access whole park.no room for everybody to watch whale show.next show was hours later.saw lady collapse and it took 15 min for help to get there. Price for parking was almost same as ticket.we came from out of state and will never be back.paid more for 1 water than it cost for a whole case at Wal-Mart. This place is a joke.never again!!!!!employees could not count change back,didn't say thanks and didn't know the layout of the park.we asked for the sting ray feeding place and was told"what's a sting ray"what a joke.word of mouth goes a long way.

Esther Meredith

Aquatica was so much fun and very refreshing. My son loved the lazy river. SeaWorld was lots of fun. Great rides and shows. I did order the dine all day passes which ended up being a great idea seeing as how we spend open to close in the parks.

Diana Lucero

Sea world is an amazing and fun place to visit and enjoy. This is probably not the best place to post this but it's where most visitors will see it. Visitors please be nice and respectful to the employees. To most of the kids working there this is their first job or only job they are able to get for the summer. Most are high school or college students that don't get paid very much. The majority of these kids go in to work everyday before the park opens to get everything set up and don't leave until after the park closes. Most of these kids are working from 9-14 hours per day, in the heat on their feet all day long. Yes, they chose to do so and they do it, day in and day out but add a bunch of adults tearing them down because they didn't get their way or where to lazy or dumb to read the offer details or they ran out of a certain item you where in line for and it really tears them apart. I know it can be frustrating at times but come on, don't be an a$$. Remember you are there to have fun and if your time is so precious that you are upset about being in a line for sometime, then don't do it. Go home and let others enjoy their day of fun. Before you are a jerk to the employees, think that could be your kid or family member working there. So have fun, relax and enjoy your visit to this beautiful park. You Only Live Once. By the way, if you plan on visiting on a Friday, Saturday or a major holiday, expect a lot of lines and crowds, these are their peak times. Thank you!

Christina Sebesta

We liked the fact that they respect Military and their families, so we luckily got in for free. However, we still ended up spending an arm and a leg on food and drinks (Avoid Rositas Cafe because, my goodness. They cannot accommodate the amount of people there with buffet food.) However, our two year old loved the Sesame Street show and she got to hug her favorite characters. If you're going during a hot summer month make sure to check out the penguin exhibit to cool off!

LAURA RODRIGUEZ

Very nice. The only two things they need to work on it is more cleanliness in food and beverages/refill areas...and also bathrooms. By the other way love the place.

Jose Rosales

Really enjoyed the 3 day pass. Made it more enjoyable knowing we could visit every part of the park with no pressure of having to rush. Great experience, especially if you have little ones

Summer Bower & Kids

While visiting my best friend for the weekend we came to Sea World on my last day there to see the Sea Turtles. It was a great time and way to end my visit with him. The Orca show was amazing! And the Sea Lions were so cute. Especially the baby ones!!

Grant Bolding

SeaWorld was a great experience. They had lots of animals and shows to attend. The dolphin area was by far one of our favorite parts. If you get too hot, which is quite possible, the aquarium is a great place to cool off. The food was maybe 2/5 stars in Rosita’s Cafe. It’s hard to expect too much in a place that has to cater to so many people. If you’re looking for an awesome roller coaster, Great White is the one for you! An opportunity for improvement for SeaWorld would be some more shaded areas with misters to help cool people down in the summer because it’s quite hot in the summer. Overall, the experience was a 4/5 and one that we won’t soon forget!

Cesar Batres

I felt discriminated against because on Saturday (03/08/2019 at 7:30 pm) my family and I (wife and 3 children) wanted to get on the r Atlantis ride and we were in line for at least 20 minutes and When we got on the ride, a woman came and didn't let me go up because I had a small bag that was my wife's wallet, and she closed the door and didn't let me leave the bag that where everyone was previously leaving it, If those are the rules, it's fine for me, but because they didn't say anything to the other people, she spoke to me in a very rude attitude as if to make me understand that if she wanted to let me put them there and if she didn't. followed by that my 5 year old son and my wife left alone on the ride and my son cried a lot because he was afraid that I was not with him. We bought you an annual pass to go several times but I think it is not worth it. And or I don't know why I am taking the time to make this comment if I am simply one of the millions of people who visit world

Larry Requa

Wonderful shows. Very crowded,but manageable. Our three year old granddaughter loved the children's play area. It has a wet and dry area and she loved the water section. Only problem is the park is so spread out,so be ready to walk.

SABRINA ARNOLD

We loved it!!! My only complaint is the guards pick and choose who gets to bring sleeping kids in strollers to watch the shows. Wear really good shoes. And bring lots of water. We were very thankful that we were able to keep getting ice for our water. Also $10 towels what a great price and practical keepsake.

Diana White

We went today for our family vacation and it was all the way around wonderful! The shows, food, splash park, rides, everything! What a absolute wonderful 1st time experience!

JOHN WIKLER

Very good

Skye Lam

Sea world is the best! The food & wine festival is the most enjoyable event they offer next to the Halloween promotion. The staff is always friendly and the attractions satisfy a whole range of theme park / zoo wishes!

Andrew Yaeger

Really fun place to go. We loved swimming with the Beluga whales. They are really sweet animals the show were amazing.

Jeff Quintero

Kids enjoyed it and so did we... They saw me coming, They got me for towels, glasses, caps, drinks, photos, face paint, etc etc... But the kids enjoyed it.... Would definitely go back, more prepared next time.... I recommend the Orca show and get there early... People fight over seats...

Joel Chapa

There are lots of activities to choose from here for all ages. Everything from kiddie splash areas to crazy roller coasters. The pet and aquatic shows are lots of fun. Two rides were shutdown though: Great White and Journey to Atlantis.

Karen Stanton

My family had a good time at this Sea World. It is smaller than CA & FL, but the layout of the park was so nice, and having the water park in the same location was so convenient. It wasn't crowded so the lines where very short and we could enjoy the rides. I look forward a few more rides coming. Seeing the animals and talking with the handlers was my favorite part of this Sea World. The staff was so very friendly. We only had 3 days due to park closures, so I wish it had stayed open all week to make the most of our vacation, but we did have fun.

Stephanie Mahoney

SeaWorld is great! The kiss love it. We love it. Everything is WAY overpriced but it is an amusement park so I'm not surprised. Aquatica on the other hand is blah. I expected more for the cost of the ticket. There is really only 1 place to grab food and it's always a 30 minutes line. Everything is always packed! It's not as much fun because you're always tripping over someone or worrying about getting separated from kids. It's so much smaller than SeaWorld that it feels like an afterthought. My favorite is always the lazy River and theirs is short, narrow and always crowded you basically float in a blob with other people (if you can get a tube).

Tyler Fults

Sea world SA was great. The beluga, dolphin and Shamu shows were all fantastic. Do not attend the Sea Lion High show unless you have children <10. It was a lot of cringy acting and not a lot of sea lion. Other than that, the trip was great.

Yareny Ramirez

It's a super fun place! ♥️ But... If you want really enjoy it buy the quick queue pass, the reason that I give 5 stars is because this pass, we skipped the lines several times instead of wait 30 minutes in the sun ☀ waiting for our turn. Fun, a lot of attractions 100% recommended.

Had great time, was hot that day walking around but sure had a blast. A lot different spots to cool off an see the sights.

Ruchika Mahale

What a lovely place it is!!!! We had so much fun. It was a wonderful day. All of their shows are so Great. Our favorite show was Pet Ahoy.

Manaswini Mishra

We love the place... the best place where you can all the sea life. It’s really very big , we walked all most 10 hours , very friendly and knowledgeable staff. enjoy the incredible killer whales, acrobatics with belugas & sea lions show. Love the rides and the events . Also we went for behind the tour with beluga whales. It was amazing.My kid enjoyed a lot . We are planning to go again soon. A must go place. Recommended.

John M

I'll never go back. The place has really gone down hill over the years. Rude people at the gate getting your $23 dollars to park then the loooooong hot walk to the gate. Took a while to get tickets scanned to go in standing in the heat with no shade. Some places had a raw sewage odor. If you go for the marine life and shows prepare for disappointment. There's 4 or 5 fifteen minute shows. Overall a huge let down from what it used to be. Might as well be called Fiesta Texas lite since more time has been spent on rides and water park. Wished I would have known then I wouldn't have wasted my time and money.

Elixandra Carrasco

Nice place for the family, like any other amusement park everything is separated with a long walk to the next thing so wear your walking shoes or comfy sandals. We love buying the online all day dining for $20! Look for it! Its a steal! Each meal will cost you approximately $15 so if you’re gonna spend all day there, its the best option! We enjoyed the shows we got to see. Ribs and mac at the Show Grill are amazing! I love the cookies as well! Didnt make it around to Elmo and friends. Sad about that! Maybe next time!

Tommy Davenport

The park and staff are awesome!! My only complaint "driving hours to get here" everything is pretty pricey. Your definitely gonna have to save to be able to afford this park. The shows are incredible, the park is huge and really festive.

Viviana Fechner

It's a great place for families with small children and big children. Water park early for the littles, see some shows and head home before the rush. Come later for a date, see shows, fun rides, and grab a bite at one of the restaurants. Two to three hours is enough at a time or your feet will hate you in the morning.

Paula Cortinaz

Splash pad to let the kids cool off. Also in the middle of the park is a chill spot. It is 50 degrees and serve margaritas and beers. They have a DJ. That was so fun.

MMG

Sea world is honestly some of the most fun I have every year. I usually go every summer and I always look forward to going there. The Rides are so much fun and the shows are always enjoyable. The Food is great and the actually water park has a lot to offer. As they say, It's fun for the whole family, And it truly does appeal to all ages. Just arriving at the parking lot always puts me in a good mood. If you ever come to San Antonio, this place is a must!

Victor Gaona

I had not been to SeaWorld in 8 years. A lot has changed since then, but in a good way. The park was very clean the shows were very professional. Our kids really enjoyed the splash pad and sesame street parade. We will definitely be visiting again.

Pablo Monreal P

Great place to take the family. If you're single...great place to even go alone

Katrina Merritt

We went on a day sponsored by my husband's job. It was raining outside during the morning hours so they didn't open aquatica which was very disappointing to us. But SeaWorld was great. The workers were very helpful and smiling. The shows were great as usual. We were also able to ride lots of rides multiple times for the lack of people in the park which is also a plus.

Dawn M. Schmitt

Beautiful property and amazing animals. We were there today 9am-8pm with 2 kinder age kids. The beverage and food department doesn't seem to be very organized in regards to several food sites running out of items before the dinner hour and bees all over everything. Besides that buy your parking pass on line, get there an hour early, am is best for rides and buy a drink bottle to refill it's worth it. Feed the sea lions they are hilarious.

Heidi Smith

We had so much fun! A special shout out to Patrick at Rio Loco for being so good to us and our handicapped son. We came with our three kids, Bay of Play kept our kids entertained. We loved the shows, I highly recommend the Orca Show. We liked that they let us bring in our own water and fruit snacks for our three year old. All in all a great time and good accessibility options.

Job K. Kisaka

Nice place. Who knew that such a synced harmony could exist between human and the sea kings. And most trainers are female. One was pregnant (trainer) not sure if the

John Pu

Really enjoyed our family day here. Very clean, friendly staff. Lots to do. Enjoy!

Rachel Ballard

It was great! I have a preschooler and a toddler. They both enjoyed it but the preschooler was just tall enough (~38") to ride the kid rides. I think the shows are very neat and so did my kids.

Ramon Martinez

Great family fun. Use to go as a kid now I take my kids they have a blast. Seems like they added some very educational shows and the employees will answer any questions and if they don't know it they will find out for you.

Rachel Legan

First time going to SeaWorld in San Antonio and although the day was blazing hot the shows were amazing, educational and just downright entertaining. It's a bonus that they have water fountain type play parks throughout the facility to keep you cool during these hot Texas summers. It was fascinating to see sharks up-close and the kids my boyfriend and I absolutely loved the shows. We had five and a half hours of fun and was well worth the triple digit temps we and everyone else braved that day.

Joe Medellin

Had the grandest time ever! My wife and daughter and grandchildren are my life!z

Nathan Swanson

Fantastic place, great mix of amusement rides and shows. Highly recommend spending a day here.

Jessica Davis

Extremely crowded but worth the while. Definitely worth adding the meal deals to each person. Water park is awesome and worth getting the wrist bands to skip the lines. Private cabana is the way to go. Whale show was great. Make sure you park strollers in the designated spots, they will move them. We stayed from open to close and still didn't get to do and see everything. If you have the $ you will spend it all. Great family time. Oh, and the margaritas are delicious.

Angely Claribel Torres

We spent my daughter’s and my birthday this past weekend at SeaWorld San Antonio. We really enjoyed the live animal shows which were very educational. The plaza sesame parade was beautiful. And our Day ended great with the live band and fireworks show. I give them a 4 stars because of the price. They are very expensive for a big family to visit which makes me sad because more kids and families will attend and enjoy this beautiful place if it was more affordable.

Bella

Great when it’s not crowded, which is like never.... but I can’t support this place due to the fact that the whales and dolphins are unhappy, tanks are small and lifeless for them, and their enviornment causes echolocation screw up cause of the small space, plus they’re migrating animals so this can’t be good for them, but the rays seem happy enough and the aquarium is cool I suggest the stingray feeding it’s pretty cool.

Meshell Records

We had a great time! My kids loved the Sesame Street Parade. I didn't know SeaWorld was open during the Christmas season until we saw signs for it. We're definitely planning a trip during this time!

Amy Moree

Went for Beluga whale interaction, did everything online. Not sure we had to buy tickets to actual park to do interaction but website made us. No tickets were checked when we went in. Belugas were the best!

Penny Glaesman

With with my granddaughter and we had A-blast. Lots of places to cool off and August in San Antonio. Love their free refill cups

Alexis Pierce

So much to do! Definitely will need 2 days next time to see and do everything. I would suggest getting there early to ride the rides while the lines are short. The animals are beautiful! And the splash zone is no ta joke!

Daniel Mcgrew

We've been coming here for years and this year had to be to worst. Extremely poor management. It seemed like they were out of everything. Cups, no lids. spoons, no forks. Ice machines, not working. No fast pass wrist bands. Poor communication on food passes. No one seemed to know how or when to use those. Very unfortunate to see this happen to such a great place. Wont be back.

Sommer Phillips

My FAVORITE part of our trip was hands down the Whale Show....if you haven't been to Sea World I highly recommend you do so...there was a plethora of fun filled things do from the Rescue Animal show,the rides the food the live shows...hand down the best thing ever

Lincoln Fox

Tons of fun for my 3 and 5 year old. Maybe better if they were 4 ft tall so they could do more rides but tons of fun only going on a couple of the smaller rides.

Kate LaFrance

My family had a wonderful time at this park and the shows and rides were fantastic. My husband and I have visited these parks several times over the years and have seen a true love and respect for the marine animals there. I’m not saying they are a perfect organization (that doesn’t exist) but I believe they are doing something important and we are happy to support it.

Mayraliz9

This place was perfect for me and my son. We were able to enjoy many showings and meals in between. I loved that they offered the refill cups and the all dining pass. They really are worth it if you plan to stay all day. I wish they had cooling zones like in other the parks we've been to in the past. That would be very beneficial especially in the summer days. I will definitely love to return with other family members! Thanks Sea World!

Nadia Espinoza

This is a fantastic place to take your littles. A variety of shows, parades and much more. They even had trick or treating for all kids

J P

What a great day at SeaWorld. The park is clean and well staffed. Lots of fun interactive learning. The rides were well maintained and lines were short. Concession seemed to be priced about average for a theme park. Parking was close. Aquatica was great way to cool off after a hot day at the main park.

Gabriella Israel

I was expecting more of an aquarium type of environment. Yes the theme park is nice but when you have young children the only thing for them is the Bay Play aka Elmo world area, in there it has jungle gyms and splash pads, plus a few little rides for children 38" and up. The new turtle reef was literally a wall/ aquarium with lots of fish and one of huge turtle. It really wasn't an exhibit at ALL. I was overall disappointed with the display of wild life since the name is "SEA WORLD". I will give them kudos for this place in there called the "Chill Out"

Shamika McDonald

It was beautifully played. I'm hoping that their find are bent because of the tank and not because they are being abused. It was kids first showing so it was awesome to see their faces light up. The oldest kid I had with me this day was 14 and the youngest was 8. (5 kids total). It's a experience everyone can enjoy. Howl o scream was worth it as well.

Hailey Elrod

Went back from when I was about six and was somewhat disappointed. The rides were a lot of fun with not much late (rose electric eel two or three times without even having to move) but the animal shows and interactions have gone down. There were still some laugh out loud funny moments in the sea lion show but the dolphin feeding was gone. The employees though were super helpful and seemed to be knowledgeable about the animals they are taking care of... Good place for a family outing but just not what I remembered.

Heather Thompson

Other than it being hot, our visit was great. I would say the only two issues were they could have more employees checking out customers at some of the stands and more seating for the orca shows. Oh and parking is pretty pricey so if you can take a shuttle, do it.

Nidia Najera

Super busy weekend and hot weather. Always a good option for the kiddos to have fun. Definitely we always take the whole day there and it is not enough for them. We love the rio loco attraction but spend around an hour to ride.

Lizette Paceley

We took our students here on a field trip. They loved it! There are so many options for both children and adults here. We loved the special group pricing and the fact that they accommodated our large group. Overall, we had a blast!

Judith Brown

Strictly as an amusement park, we enjoyed the rides. The lines moved quickly, and we had about a 5 minute wait for each ride. We didn't really care for the animal exhibits, but that's a personal preference. I think we don't care for caged show animals, so I don't know why I thought we would enjoy it this time. Perhaps if there was more focus on explaining whether these animals were rescued or why they remain in captivity, people would be more understanding and interested. We were just sad seeing the larger animals, and left to visit Aquatica instead.

Steven Babb

It’s not enough to have a clean park with short lines and reasonably priced food. SeaWorld San Antonio has all those things but is significantly lacking in one very important area: the staff. The majority of employees appear to be under 20 and seem more interested in one another than their guests. Many have flat out poor attitudes and there were numerous instances where I found myself legitimately surprised at the overall demeanor directed toward guests. Many of them seemed disinterested in being there and I could probably count on one hand how many smiles we saw during our 6 hours there. From the young man at the security gate who just flat out told me “Empty your pockets” as if I was being booked into jail to the guy in the underwater dolphin viewing area in Destination Point who was quite literally yelling at every person to not touch the glass. Cool, we get it, don’t touch the dang glass but kids (such as my 19 month old son) get excited and aren’t going to be responsive to your yelling anyway. Then there was the young lady working at Great White who looked me plain in my face and asked, “Do you not see what’s in front of you?” as she performed the safety check on the ride. And, no, prior to that I had not noticed the row in front of me was empty but that is no excuse to try to demean a paying guest. Prior to our visit my wife and I bought annual passes. Practically every aspect of our experience has us excited to return but our experience with the staff certainly gives us pause. SeaWorld should consider sending their employees to Fiesta Texas for the day so they can see first hand how park employees SHOULD treat guests.

Savannah Lyle

I have went to SeaWorld ever since I was 13 I'm 17 now and it never gets old. I love everything about it the animals, shows, roller coasters, and water park. I would definitely recommend going here. Its great for the kids and just as fun for the adults. I know every time my family goes we have a blast

Joanna Mariee

The food was so yummy I love how there are many fill up spots all around, I loved the animal stench that was filling the air it felt real wild and exotic. Also if you buy a cup if I'm not mistaken you get free refills all day which it great because it's so hot you NEED to stay hydrated. The little souvenir shops were so adorable, I got my daughter a cute little swim suit from there. She still uses it to this day. My experience was amazing, from the animals to the rides to the Elmo sing along show it was FANTASTIC and most importantly to me my kids had an amazing time.

Juan G

They've made some changes to the park. You can actually visit the reef aquarium and outdoor public dolphin exhibit without purchasing a ticket into the theme park. It actually works out pretty well If you just want to see a few sharks and get out of there in a pinch. I guess it's something you can do without spending a bunch of money on tickets. You'll still have to pay for parking.

Rob Krauss

It's meh. Everything is monetized, to the point that they make fun of it in the shows. And the shows are mediocre. I've seen better at much smaller places. There are also few non-show animals to view when not at a show, so there's not much to show smaller children. However, they LOVED the Sesame Street parade and themed rides. Air conditioning would be nice in the shops and more of the food places, especially in Texas in the summer!

Preethi B.

Enjoyed going there, make sure you bring swimwear for kids to run around the splash area. I would also suggest purchasing. 12.99 refillable cup. All refills are free the first day and if you come back, its 99cents. When it's hot, go to the pets show. It was cool insode the theater and it was a nice break from the heat. I enjoyed the sealion show the most
