Sea World was a cool place to visit, but I am not sure I would call it a $90 value, thank goodness the admission was free for military ID holders! The aquariums were very clean, and stocked with a HUGE variety there was an awesome roller coaster called the Manta that was phenomenal! If I were going to pay admission for this kind of park again though, I think I would go Atlanta Aquarium.
Shamu's Show was pretty cool. There were about 5 whales in the show, each had their own handler. The first part was an interpretive kind of show about the whale meeting his man, and the other part of the show was where they had the whales wave, and jump and then, of course, Splash! During the pre-show moments there was one playful whale that was splashing the crowd just for its own amusement.
