Dine with Shamu - meal included in price?

[Colargol]

We're looking in to booking a dine with Shamu experience, but just can't agree upon one thing: Is the meal included in the price??

(My husband thinks $29 can not include both the show AND the food ;-) )

Absolutely, and the food is very good. It's not exactly a show, more of a demonstration, but it is AWESOME!!!!! This has become a tradition for us to do as our "last meal" before heading home the next morning. We did the VIP tour the first few times there which included all day dining, so we never did Dine with Shamu, but once we did, we were hooked.

For our family of four, it is a little over $100, plus a tip to make it roughly $135 - $150, actually a touch cheaper than a nice dinner, movie, and popcorn.

In addition to the price of the meal you do have to pay admittance to the park of course. I did not see Dine with Shamu for $29 listed on their page for the summer months, it looks like $36 is the cost for now. It covers the meal and the show(talking to trainer and watching a training session type show from your table while you eat). To see the actual Shamu show you will have to go into the stadium. You can do that whenever the show times are during the day or evening.
