Seaworld is of course famous for its show that feature Shamu, the killer whale, Shamu is a not a whale that have been taken from it natural environment and placed in a water zoo.  Shamu like all its predecessors have been bred in captivity and trained to perform amazing feats of skill and dexterity.  No matter how many times you see this show you will never tire of the ability of the trainers to educate Shamu to work with and actually learn the routine. He interacts with the audiences and performs amazing tricks that demonstrate just how precise and gentle this mammal can be.   A word of caution, do not sit in the front 10 – 12 rows in the audience, you will get wet, its surprising just how much water a whale can displace.

You would be incorrect to think that Seaworld is only about Shamu, the complete Seaworl d experience is about learning.  As you enter the park you are faced with multiple choices, the option to go to visit the Wild Artic which features the polar bears and see the Beluga Whales, a wonderful white whale. It is an endangered species and this rare chance to see and by a paying a little extra get to Interact with them.  This is a magical experience for adults and children alike and one you will never forget.  Or go to see the sharks as they swim in the vast tanks that makeup Seaworld, see the nursing sharks and many other predators that can found in the Ocean.  During the day you must take time to see Clyde and Seamore, this a show to amuse you and at the same time once again demonstrate the sill of the Seaworld Staff.    One of the must not miss shows is Blue Horizons, a show set to music featuring Dolphins and Birds there is acrobatics and drams to recreate a theatre in Seaworld.

Interact with the Dolphins, feed the Stingrays, see how people react to these wonderful creatures. There are thrill rides as well as the learning experience, journey to Atlantic is guaranteed to set the blood racing and guaranteed to get you going back for more (Not for the faint hearted).  Follow this by a ride on Kraken, a floorless roller coaster ride and then try a ride through the Wild Artic. Although you could say that the Anheuser-Busch stables are not a thrill ride it is a unique experience to Clydesdale Horses at their best and sample some of Americas best beers in the Brewmasters Club.

There is so much to see and do at Seaworld, you can spend days there but don’t forget you can also go to the sister parks which are Discovery Cove and Aquatica.  Discovery cove is where you can swim with the Dolphins whilst Aquatica is a newly completed water park that compares favourably with Watermania and Blizzard Beach.

Take advantage of the tickets where you can go for a day and then go back the next day free, or go to Busch Gardens (near Tampa) for the same price offer.  Whatever you do have a great time and don’t forget to take your time and enjoy this fantastic experience.
