It is indeed possible to have fun at SeaWorld with a toddler, and I cannot begin to describe to you how much fun we really had when we were there. Hazel loved every minute and we were pleasantly surprised at how well she was behaving the entire time. There is so much to see and do at SeaWorld, especially for those young minds, and I think that Hazel’s mind was trying to soak it all up in one day. If you have kids and are looking to spend some time in California, SeaWorld should be on your list of things to do.
Our first stop Sesame Street Bay of Play. Last year when we came to SeaWorld Hazel had the best time, but we only rode one ride -because we were on a time crunch- this time she rode all the rides her 32 inch height would allow. Her favorite probably being Elmo’s Flying Fish because we went up high in the sky. There are a lot of things for toddlers to do in the Sesame Street Bay of Play, there are rides or course, splash pad, and a big jungle gym for your kids to get their energy out.
Next we went and saw Dolphin Days, dolphins are such beautiful animals, it was fun to see them swim around and jump out of the water. Isn’t amazing what these animals can do? SeaWorld has many other shows and presentations, some of which have opened up just this summer.
After that, we split up and big kids headed for the more thrill-seeking rides. If you’re not headed to SeaWorld with a toddler, don’t worry because there is plenty to do as an adult. You can find all the rides and thrills here.
Later we had some lunch and then went to see the new Orca Encounter. We learned a lot of things about Killer Whales that I had never known before, like, did you know that Killer Whales can actually eat Blue Whales even though they are nearly five times their size?!
They also have little pools for your little one to explore, like Explorer’s Reef. Here they have cleaner fish, small sharks, stingrays, and other small creatures you can touch. They also have an Aquaria Touch Pool where you can touch sea stars and sea urchins. Hazel really loved getting to touch the animals and be up close with them. She especially loved the cleaner fish that would kiss her finger.
We always have a blast at SeaWorld, there is so much to see and do, especially if you have a curious toddler. The lines weren’t long and the park was filled with so much for us to enjoy.
What is your favorite thing to do at SeaWorld?
