Advantages: Fun, Fun, Fun and also Educational

Disadvantages: A little expensive but that's normal for Florida!!

I absolutely adore SeaWorld and have spent countless hours there, time and time again.

When you go into the Park it is set out to look a lot like Key West, straight ahead of you there is an Information Desk where you can get a Map. To the right there are places that you can get pushchairs and wheelchairs should you need them. Then you go through and there are several shops with Souvenirs and I would recommend the one just to the right of the main square which has lots and lots of sweets in (I'm salivating just thinking about them!!).

You may well get your Picture snapped by the SeaWorld Photographers and you can go at the end of the Day to collect the Photo, which could be a nice Memory of your Day and your Trip.

There are several Exhibitions that I can particularly recommend:

1) Wild Arctic - I hate simulator rides so you can either choose to do the Simulator or you can just see the little pre-show, but that's not the highlight of Wild Arctic (in my opinion). Once you are through with the first part, you go down into a blissfully cool and somewhat dark place where you can see Beluga Whales, Walrus' and Polar Bears - Fabulous!!! Also wonderful if you have been in the blistering sun for a while and you need to cool off!!

2) Manatee Encounter - I personally think that the first part where they show you a little cinema show is great and very relaxing (and cool as well!!). Then you get to go and see the Manatees, they are lovely, but you can't touch as they are behind a Perspex Screen. Also don't forget that outside (where the entrance is), they have some Alligators there as well.

3) Penguin's - Absolutely brilliant. A rather small exhibition but still great fun to go and see these strange little creatures, and again rather cool and air-conned to death if you need to cool off!!

4) Dolphins - A great idea is to make sure you get there for Feeding Time in the main pool when you can get your Picture taken of you Feeding them.

5) The Shamu Show(s) - Of course I have to mention these shows. They are wonderful!! The things that the trainers can do with them are wonderful. Be careful if you sit in the first 10 rows or so because the largest Whales can splash all the way up to the first Balcony and sometimes beyond!! Make sure to say hello to the Trainers afterwards, they don't bite!!

SeaWorld is such a special Place and somewhere that I would love to go to again and again and again....go for it, you won't be disappointed!!
