How much time at SeaWorld

[stephk1981]

We haven't been to SeaWorld in a couple of years. Our last visit my oldest wasn't tall enough for the rollercoasters or bigger rides. We are going in two weeks, we have the ' skip the line pass'. My son is interested in the three main rollercoasters, the Antarctica peguin ride, and Journey to Atlantis. We aren't into shows, but may spend an hour looking at the aquarium parts. Can anyone give me any info on how much time we should allocate to the above activities? Trying to plan for a sitter for our infant. Thanks!

The whole day. Inevitably, your oldest will want to ride things again. I went in December with my then 5, 8, 10 year olds and a day was not enough. The bigger kids wanted to go on Manta, Mako and Kraken over and over again. Same with Atlantis. We only managed to catch one show but we spent a lot of time looking at the animal exhibits and my older two had a blast climbing around in the huge structure in the kids' area.

Thank you for the information!

Definitely a whole day. Our kids at the same age had a blast at Seaworld. Be sure to bring a change of clothing for journey to Atlantis, I have never gotten so wet on a ride in my whole life!

Sea World is so much more that a thrill ride amusement park and shows are scheduled so that you can do just that and use up the day. If you want to see every show and depending on crowds I would schedule 2 days.

Swaggerwagon is correct, you will get soaked on Atlantis. If not on the plunges then by the squirt guns the look-e-loos direct at you. It was the first time we used those whole body air dryers.
