Our First Visit to SeaWorld Since 2017 – Was It Worth It?
This was our first time visiting SeaWorld since 2017, and we were excited to see what had changed! When comparing the cost of single-day tickets to a season pass, we quickly realized that the season pass was the better value for our family. Not only does it allow us to return for future visits—including a trip to Aquatica—but it also includes general parking, which started at $36 plus tax on the day we visited. After our trip, we can confidently say we’re happy with our decision to get the season pass!
Dine with Orcas – A Must-Try Experience!
We decided to splurge and make a reservation for Dine with Orcas, and it was absolutely worth it! While we don’t usually go for buffets, this one exceeded our expectations. The food was great, with favorites including the chicken, salmon, potato wedges, and a variety of desserts. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the experience of dining so close to the orcas made it truly unforgettable.
For our family (2 adults, 3 kids), the total cost—including taxes and fees—came to $115.76, and we would definitely do it again!
Kid-Friendly Attractions & Construction Updates
On our last visit, we remembered a cute little kids area with a splash pad and other activities for younger children. Unfortunately, that section was closed due to construction, which was a bit disappointing for our youngest. However, we did find another playground in a different area (not featured in our video), and it was great to have a space where all the kids could play together.
Riding the Texas Stingray & Rio Loco
Westin and Aubrey had a milestone moment—riding their first roller coaster, the Texas Stingray! We also took a ride on Rio Loco, which was a blast. Since we arrived close to park opening, the wait times were very short at the start of the day. However, as the day went on, the crowds grew, and lines got longer. Next time, we’ll definitely aim to arrive early again to maximize ride time!
