It's really kind of a bore once you've done Discovery Cove (which we did two days before).
Gosh, I don't think you gave the park a chance. It really has some good shows and you didn't even try to see them. It is totally different than discovery Cove.
My son went again this week( our family has been going to the park since the 70s and never have a bad day) . He said a must see is the last show of Clyde and Seymour! He said they do a different show than the pirate themed one and it was very very funny. I can't wait to go this week to see it and the new dolphin show.
You didn't do polar express either? If you are there on a slow day and stand at the walrus window , you might even get the walrus to interact with you. I have actually had the walrus do a kiss on the glass like they used to do in the shows.
And the Pet show. LOL My sons thought it was for "babies" all their lives. My 27 year old son saw it for the first time with his girlfriend Thursday. He has talked about how cute it was since he saw it. LOL
The one thing I think the park needs to do though is have more things to do while waiting for Shamu Rocks. We usually have already spent time with the manatees, sharks, and seals etc. There really isn't much to do by then but walk around and eat. Seems to be a shortage of shows to visit after 4.
