Loved Seaworld! While a number of exhibits were closed eg Penguins and Jellyfish, we loved everything else about the place! The seal show and dolphin shows were amazing, and the trainers clearly are passionate and bonded with the animals. The rides were great fun, and the attendants were super friendly. We ended up going back the next day to revisit our favourite things.

The number of rides and attractions is quite limited compared to other major...
