I took both my boys in August 2006. We had a great time until it started raining! A splash from Shamu and friends is one thing – a monsoon is another. In any case, we got most of the shows in before the down pour and decided to end the trip.

If you sit close up in Shamu show you will get wet. FYI, the water may look refreshing but it is artic! It was mating season so she wasn’t too keen on following the trainers. All in all, show was pretty good.

Some tips. Be prepared for long lines to get in the place. Parking was $10. Look for discount coupons. If you don’t want to wait in ticket lines, you can buy them at credit card kiosks outside the gate.
