Sea World Dolphin Interaction price per person

[quantumottle]

The current price to participate in the Sea World Dolphin Interaction is $215.00 per person, plus park admission (currently $63.00 per day if purchased on-line, in advance).

So for my family of four to visit Sea World, and my DW, DD16 and DD11 to enjoy the Dolphin Interaction as I take photos, it's going to cost $889.00 ($645.00 + $244.00 = $889.00).

Is this correct? Am I understanding this correctly?

Thanks for your help!

That is the correct cost for the three of them, but I do have some news that you might not like. If you won't be participating in the program the closest you can get to the rest of your family is about 20-30 feet away. You'll have to stay in the viewing area. The good news is that means you can take some good pictures of them, you'll just be getting a spectator's view from afar and won't be able to really communicate with your family while they do the program. Sea World also has professional photographers to capture the in-water pictures and you can purchase those afterward if you like.

Thanks for the info sonnyjane. I'm having a tough time justifying the cost for twenty minutes with the dolphins, although I know my family would love it. I'll have to think on it. Thanks again!

Well, if you're talking about the Dolphin Interaction Program (which you are based on pricing), the program is a full hour, you're just only physically IN THE WATER for 20 minutes, but the rest of the time you are with trainers learning about the dolphins etc. etc. The cost is comparable to dolphin swims at other facilities around the country so if it's something your family has wanted to do for a while, it's worth considering since it would be priced similarly at most other zoos and aquariums around the US.
