    Well Coming to the cool amusement park here in Sunny San Diego and guess what !! Here at SeaWorld and if your an annual pass holder then you get to ride the Sky Tower Skyride for Free !! Yes Free so finding out about this it was pretty darn amazing !! As you go up in the Tower you can see breath taking views of SeaWorld and you get an really cool View of Mission Bay also !! It's an ride for the whole family and your friends also !! I do suggest you give it a try and enjoy the ride !! Lots of cool views and it is really an ride you don't want to miss out on while you are at SeaWorld !! As we got in I pulled out my phone and started taking pictures of all the cool views from up top !!! Lots of fun for the entire family !! It's an ride I sure can find myself coming back and riding again !!! Overall it was fun and it is kind of packed and there are lines for ride but you don't have to wait too long we only waited about 20 minutes and it was worth it !! I sure can see myself coming back for sure !!! And enjoy more !!!

    The Sky Tower ride at Sea World has been there ever since I can remember. Previously it would cost a few dollars per person to ride. It is now free which I really appreciate. The ride is a cylinder that slowly spins as it rises up the tower so you can see views of the San Diego bay and the surrounding area. The ride itself has two levels. There is a bottom level that you go down the ramp to get on the ride. It is usually less of a line. There is also a top level which usually has longer lines. Both levels provide great views and are a good way to spend a few quiet minutes at Sea World.

    Quick 5-8 minute ride, so even if you're waiting in line, it's a pretty fast wait. I believe it goes up 2-3 times, and it slowly descends down back to the bottom. It's a 360 degree view of Sea World. Although you can a good view of certain parts of San Diego, it is also VERY depressing. Why? Because you actually witness all of the sea creatures exhibits (e.g dolphins, orchids, sea lions) and realize how small they are, and the amount of sea creatures that are squeezed into these exhibits. Not only are they exhibits, but they are essentially their homes. So it's depressing to see how small their homes are, when they're used to the wild of a big open ocean. I would still take this ride, because it's A) an amazing view B) gives you appreciation of the sea creatures & awareness of their "homes." Take this ride! you won't regret it & again, it's a fast ride.

    This is a great quick ride that showcases a 360 view of Seaworld and San Diego. I remember this ride costing money when I was a kid, but is now free. This ride is a must do when visiting Seaworld. It's great for the whole family.

    It's well worth the wait as you get to see 360 degree views of Mission Bay.

    A cute little family-friendly place next to a beautiful beach!…read more After walking around the beach for a while, we decided to walk around Belmont Park to see what it was all about. It was a summer Thursday and the place was packed with kids and their parents, all having a blast. There was a zip line, bumper cars, an arcade, a giant pirate-themed play place - heaven on earth to rambunctious little people! The whole place was cutesy - beach themed photo ops everywhere. They also had plenty of "fair food" for those looking for a junky snack. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough shaded areas to sit in and enjoy a meal. Additionally, they didn't really have any vegetarian food options. We were starving (our main reason for checking out this place) and found cheese pizza slices as the only vegetarian friendly option. Seemed quite odd considering how popular vegetarianism has become, especially in places like California.. If you have kids or are just looking to let your own inner-child run wild, this place is worth checking out!

    Belmont Park is an iconic tourist stop when in San Diego…read more The famous Big Dipper rollercoaster has been around for decades and is still a thrill worth trying. Over the past decade arcades, bumper cars, put-put golf and kiddie rides have been added to the beachfront experience as well as a handful of food options. Be prepared to spend some serious money when visiting though, this place is not cheap. Tickets are needed to ride each ride and can be purchased at a stand on either end of the park (under the roller coaster and next to put-put golf). The kiddie rides start around $5/participant and increase from there. Bring your patience, parking is a beast any day or time of the year!

    15 stars for the SeaWorld staff!…read more My uncle ended up getting sick during our visit, and although he was being VERY stubborn about accepting help , the staff were absolutely incredible. A huge thank you to Julie with Safety, Health Services Department Will, and Kala. They were so patient, kind, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire situation. They never made us feel rushed or like we were an inconvenience and went above and beyond to make sure my uncle was okay. It's one thing to provide good customer service, but the compassion these three showed when someone wasn't feeling well really stood out. SeaWorld is lucky to have employees like them. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my uncle!

    I had a thrilling experience, escorting my college friend and her daughter and granddaughter around…read moreSEAWORLD SAN DIEGO!!! We used some of our many, many GUEST PASSES. We started off by getting our photo taken by a professional SeaWorld Photographer, at the SeaWorld ROCK!!! I had arrived early, with My Partner, and I went to Guest Services to arrange for all the little details, along with getting MY ELECTRIC EV SCOOTER. We then waited for our GUESTS, and once they arrived and we got our photo taken, WE MADE OUR WAY TO THE TOWER!!! We always start there, AND MY GUESTS WERE IMPRESSED!!! We started slowly with SHARKS, SEA TURTLES and then the DOLPHIN ADVENTURE!!!
