Sea World Question

For those that have been, I'm wondering realistically how much time should we expect to spend here with our 2 1/2 year old. We have to plan around her nap time. Thanks.

I would say SW is just about a full day.

If you arrive early and have a break for lunch, you could return early evening and this way (depending on when you are going) you would aviod the hottest and busiest times of the day.

SW is great for an evening stroll.

Agree, you want to go early for a few hours, leave in the afternoon when it's hot and crowded, then come back at night for a few more hours. The parking lot opens at 08:30am.

You"ll be pushing a stroller most of the day. The kid will enjoy the playground behind Shamu stadium, bring a change of cloths because they can get wet.

If you are going to eat in the park, do it at 11:30am before everyone else realizes it's lunch time. Arrive to each show about 20 minutes early, especially Clyde and Seamore.

We went two years ago with my nieces 4 & 18 mos. The littlest one took a bunch of naps in her stroller and the older one walked the whole time and had a great time. We were there from like 9:30am to 4:00pm. The little one was cranky most of the day, which we thought was because her schedule was interrupted. Turns out she was suffering from a double ear infection that we didn't know about until we got home. Definitely bring a change of clothes and have lunch before 11:30. I think if you can get there at opening, you can see enough by 2 or 3pm. More time would be great, but some people feel satisfied with that.

Cheers!
