I had checked out the different food options in the park and this was the clear favorite from previous people who posted about it. So I made a reservation ahead of time for about 2pm. The thinking, which turned be true, is that it would be more the off time so less busy. I did see a comment online that said to ask for a table down by the glass. I mentioned it to the gal at the front, and she hooked us up. We had a great spot to see all the sea life swim by. We got some drinks, mine was very sweet. I like a drink thats sweet but this had a little more sugar that I'd care for. I got the sliders which came out fast. It was basically 2 slightly smaller than normal size hamburgers. They were just fine. I got the bisque as well, that was just fine. Overall the food pricey and just fine, but for a park it was good, and the ambiance was A+. Oh and service was excellent. We got a waiter that really was on top of things. I would definitely suggest doing a bite here at least one time.

They give you the opportunity to take a break from the heat, lines, and they have a huge aquarium inside with sharks and fishes for you to enjoy while you eat. Service can be slow, especially when busy, so recommend looking at the menu before hand and being ready to order all when your server comes. We did that and it was a breeze. Our server even thanked us for being ready, making his job way easier. The menu has something for everyone, burgers, sandwiches, salads, tacos, soups.... All decent, good portions, but the one thing that stood out was the lobster bisque. That was legit delicious. Reservations are highly recommended

I did a little bit of digging online to see a good plan for the day and I think we really nailed it. We planned our day around the 3 big shows. There is a Dolphin show, a sea lion show, and a killer whale show. We did all 3, and all 3 were a good time. It was a hot day so being in the "splash zone" would have been nice, but we chose the shady seats a little farther back in each case. Inbetween we did a couple of the rollercoasters and visited different animal exhibits. They really are some of the best coasters around. The new ride they have has Beluga whales at the end. That was special to see in person. The gals highlight may have been the mantees. They have there own above and below water exhibit to visit. If you go in knowing its not Disney, but an amazing zoo, it really is a great time.

Right off the bat, it's just a very different vibe from Walt Disney World. Parking felt like a free-for-all (we got lucky with a close spot), and entry was super basic--scan and go, nothing special. We got there around 3 and went straight to the Orca show at Shamu Stadium, which was actually really good. The park didn't feel too crowded, but ride wait times were still long. This trip was all about our son, and Sesame Street Land at SeaWorld Orlando delivered. Seeing him in his Elmo outfit light up during the parade was everything. Food at Altitude Burger was underwhelming--expensive, basic, and the seating area needed some attention cleanliness-wise. The highlight, though, was the animal experiences. The dolphin viewing at Dolphin Nursery had my son completely mesmerized--nonstop smiles, talking, just pure joy. SeaWorld has its flaws, but for kids and animal encounters, it really delivers. Final Verdict: 4 overall, 5 for kid happiness--because at the end of the day, that's what matters most

My only issue was the lack of larger tables closer to the aquarium. My party of 6 was seated all the way in the back and I am thankful my kiddo did not have a meltdown from his inability to see the sea life up close. Service was good, kids menu items were a tad limited (no chicken tenders), and food was good. One person in my party ordered a gluten free meal. Our waitress was so kind as to bring her GF bread and this was very thoughtful and attentive. We really appreciated her gesture. Items ordered: Caribbean salad- large delicious salad perfectly dressed. x2 Pineapple coconut bread and plantain chips- enjoyed the flavors and shared this with my group. Mojo chicken- A good and flavorful dish Grilled snapper x2- Mine was perfect but my sister's was overcooked and dry.

The major draw is going to be the large aquarium full of marine life that entertain while you are dining.

From the moment we arrived to when we left, everything was really well done. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which set the tone right away. They have a buffet for breakfast and lunch with a good variety of options, so I feel like most people could find something they like. There are also smaller stands with snacks, pizza, and ICEE stations. Now let's talk about the drinks. There is just something about a frozen daiquiri when you're by the water. Highly recommend getting the drink package and trying a few... or all of them if you can handle it. I loved how many different areas there were to explore. Seeing dolphins swimming so close to the beach was actually kind of magical. They also have a monkey island which I was really excited about. It was closed when we got there, but I could still see them from a distance and I loved that. The aviary was really cool too. Tons of birds, but also tons of people. They recommend going first thing when the birds are most active, which we did, but so did everyone else. We got there about 45 minutes after opening and the birds already seemed a little over it. Honestly, I don't blame them. The Grand Reef was such a cool experience. I didn't really know what to expect, and even though it's man made, it still feels really immersive. Some of those rays are huge and have zero fear. They will swim right into you. My guy had never experienced anything like that and he loved it. I also liked that there were shallow areas and deeper sections if you wanted more of a snorkeling feel. The only downside for us was the Wind Away River. There are spots that get deep really fast, and that day they were apparently out of floaties because people were hoarding them and claiming areas. Staff even acknowledged it, which was frustrating because nothing was being done about it. It made parts of the river harder to enjoy than they should have been. Other than that, everything else was great and it made for such a fun day. Also the bar swings were a highlight. Loved those.

We had our own private ambassadors show us around the park and were escorted to the sting ray feeding area . We got our wet suits and lockers . Bathroom is very clean and has plenty of towels . The sting ray feeding was so much fun . The ambassadors are very informative . Trainers will feed the larger manta rays since they are larger and take vitamins but we fed the smaller sting rays which was a lot of fun. Also we got to feed small fish which was a fun treat for us . Monkey island pool - warmest water in the park Tropical river - slightly chilly but overall fun Great reef- chillest but once submerged not bad . Colder due to sea-life . Great reef was amazing , it looks like nothing but once you put googles on it's another world. Highly recommend. All inclusive drinks package - worth the money it can get pricy .

If your hungry I suggest waiting to eat out of the aquarium, the price for the food is expensive and the choices are limited.

The educational aspect is top-tier. The exhibits and animals appear well cared for and I was especially impressed with the ground level Marsh/mangrove display with a large assortment of birds mingling out in the open with visitors making it really beautiful and immersive. I was there shortly after opening on a Saturday and it got busy quickly, which, considering the layout could be a problem on a more crowded day. Out of the two aquariums I've visited in the Bay Area both are worth the visit but this is the better one in my opinion.

The wait was hot, long and by the time we got to the ride itself, I was ready to go home. The ride is pleasant and sweet. It's only about 5 minutes so the wait was not worth it. We were also late for a lunch date so we had no time to see the manatees in their area, or the dolphins and/or sharks in their tank. We did learn that they can't be together as dolphins get aggressive.

Once you get on the ride it is nice, at the end I think ours had some mechanical issues so we were kinda just standing in front of the aquarium. I don't know if I'd do this again, but I'm glad I did it at least once.

Each country has its own specialty food and shows, which can be a great way for kids and adults to learn about different cultures. The fireworks at the closing of the park were beautiful, especially with fireworks coordinated with music, and it was a great end to a great day.

We ended finishing the night with an AYCE buffet (Germany) and a firework show at the end.
