My favorite memory was seeing the Shamu show at night time. They use a lot of lights and the big jumbo screen. We bought three bottles of hot chocolate from the walking vendors to keep warm. If you're going to see this show, (and you should because it's Sea World's main attraction) do try to see it at night.

But San Diego's coastal weather can be chilly, so bring a jacket. Don't be fooled by southern California's warm weather. This park is right on the ocean so it can get pretty chilly. We were there in June, too, so we were thought it would be warm, but it was COLD!

After that, we hit the Shipwreck Rapids ride. The line was huge because it is the only "ride" in the park, but it was worth the wait. We started to dry off in line, but when we exited the ride we were dripping again. We ate lunch at the Shipwreck Reef Cafe. It was expensive, as expected, but the food was really fresh and good, especially for an amusement park. I'll definitely eat there again.

Otherwise the displays are just the right size for most kids to see the animals and not get bored or tired with them. The rides are really more for the older kids and adults.
