"Family vacation"
August 2024
I haven’t visited seaworld since I was little and a lot has changed, rides! The rides were awesome!! And the exhibits where great, everyone was to tired to see the shows but will plan it differently next time I did see a little bit of the dolphins, and the sea turtles and sharks where cool, walking out I saw the whales swimming but not the show. We still had a great time and I would do it again ! I booked through tripster and honestly wouldn’t have been able to afford without. I will book through them again !
