Photo Journal from Sea World San Diego

By: Andrew Bermudez

     To continue on the same note from yesterday's review of the new roller coaster Manta, here are some photos from throughout the rest of Sea World. Located in San Diego on the shores of Mission Bay, Sea World San Diego is part zoo, part aquarium, and part theme park that celebrates animals that make their home entirely or nearly so in the ocean. Unlike other theme parks, Sea World is not organized into individual lands, but the park remains consistent and provides something for everyone. Thrill-seekers will get a kick out of Manta and Journey to Atlantis, while the little ones can hang out in the Sesame Street Bay of Play. Also, don't forget about the star of the park, Shamu! Here is a collection of photos from our latest visit.

Scenery inside the Wild Arctic exhibit area.

Two-toed sloth at the animal connections exhibit.

Lots of sharks in the Shark Encounter.

Shamu and his family perform in the show "One Ocean."

Lots of sea turtles in Turtle Reef.

Don't forget to check out the hysterical antics of Clyde and Seamore in "Sea Lions Live."

Shipwreck Rapids does get you wet, but I personally prefer Grizzly River Run at Disney California Adventure.

Sesame Street characters meet and greet in the Sesame Street Bay of Play.

Outside Journey to Atlantis, a ride that's both a water ride and a roller coaster!

     If you want to visit Sea World San Diego, please check their website for admission rates, show times, hours, and more. Since Sea World has several shows, it is highly recommended that you plan your day around the show schedule. Don't forget to also "sea" (Get it? Get it? *GROAN*) the wide variety of animals as well. Also, if you do go to Sea World, remember that you may get wet!

     Well, that's it for today. As I type this, we're already planning our next outing: a preview of Cars Land at Disney California Adventure! Do note, however, that I won't feature photographs for that, as photography is prohibited inside the new land until it publicly opens on June 15th. Until then, happy travels!
