My kids requested a trip to Sea World for their birthdays and we'll be driving down the weekend after Christmas. I haven't been in about 6 or 7 years due to my own personal feelings on Sea World, but I always told myself if my kids requested to go, we would despite my feelings so that they could see it for themselves...
Anyway, I have never been during the holiday season. Can anyone give me an idea of what crowds will be like? Will rides and shows all be open? Are there any cool holiday things going on?
Also, trying to decide what to do the other day we're down there. It's a toss up. My kids are 9, 5, and 5 (the 5 year olds will be turning 6). My oldest son wants to explore the old town area, the mission, and pretty much the whole historic area as well as the embarcadero. My little ones want to go to the safari park. We'll have 3 adults and are staying in the mission valley area. Would it be reasonable to split up? Like, one or two of us could get dropped off at the safari park with the little ones while the rest go exploring? Are there easy public transit options? Or should we just pick one of those activities? Which would you do? I've been to everything from the list, but not since I was a kid, so I really have no basis for planning.
