SeaWorld and Busch Gardens are my two favorite theme parks. I live close to Busch Gardens but visit SeaWorld several times a year. I buy the 2 year pass for both parks. This runs around $200. You get free entrance, parking, and lots of discounts. SeaWorld has great shows, rides, as well as the fish, dolphins, penguins, sea lions, polar bears, etc. There are great places to eat too. You can also get 2 free samples of beer per day if you are 21 or over. They often have buy one day, get a second day free. If you are staying in the Orlando/Kissimmee area then you must visit. It is off International Drive and you can get directions from their website.

We just recently revisited Sea World. It is a fantastic place for the entire family to go to if you are an animal and thrill ride lover. The shows that feature Shamu and the dolphins are worth the trip all in it self. I recommend getting there early because parking can be an issue. This park needs at least a full day to get all of the attractions in.

If you love anything about the ocean or animals this is the place to go. It has a little of everything for everyone. My favorite of course is the penguins...plus it's ice cold in there. But there shows are fantastic and the animals are simply amazing in these shows. Plus there trainers are good too! There food is excellant, and lots of shops even including a homemade candyshop!

We've been going to Sea World in Orlando about every 2 months for the last several years. We went last weekend late one afternoon. It turns out the crowds really drop off after dinner and it's a nice place to spend a summer evening. They have been adding more and more revenue generating venues over the last couple of years but it's not terribly tacky yet.

Sea World is always a good partner in the greater Central Florida Community. They are well known for their free passes to educators, firemen and policemen (thanks, SeaWorld). Now this isn't a place that you're going to find tons of high adventure rides but there is guaranteed to be lots of things to do for everyone. Hands-on activities abound from petting sting rays to putting your hand in the dolphin tank. There are always different street performers and artists on the premise, too. If your teen has the chance to go to one of Seaworld's Grad Nites- let them go!

I love this theme park. It is not the most exciting if you want to go for all of the thrill rides but it is so amazing because of all of the aquatic animals they have there. The dolphins are so awesome, I think that is my favorite part about the park. You actually get to touch and feed dolphins. It's a great family atmosphere, highly recommend it.

This is such a neat place for those of you who like sea animals. They have great shows. You can see them training the animals and see how their training has paid off. It is so interesting. Plus they have some great attractions. You can pet the dolphins and sting rays. It teaches that you can be friends with the animals. Plus they promote the educational part of the park. So you learn while you have fun.

I love Sea World, and we go back just about every year, as they are always adding new attractions and shows. The tickets are a bit pricey, but you will be occupied until they close or you are worn out, whichever comes first. My favorite is the dolphin feeding area, where you can get up close and feed them yourself.
