"Great park. Lots of things to see. The dolphin and sea lion shows were great. Oral show was closed 15 mins prior to 3:30 show due to full capacity. Make sure you come a little sooner. All day did pass is definitely worth it. BBQ place was the most delicious. The little water park and playground next to it was awesome for my kids. We really appreciated the nursery/ quiet baby station! I would give 10 starts for that. Thank you for thinking of that. Lots of walking- make sure you have your most comfortable shoes on!"

"!!WEAR APPROPRIATE SHOES and HYDRAYE TOO!! I went with a school as a volunteer, it was a fun -one-time experience. The rides are very BIG and fun. The park itself is really huge, I didn't get to see the other half of the park. For two people, it was $251, not including the food voucher/ meal ticket. I absolutely loved Sesame Street. It was soo nostalgic for me😅😂. I recommend the 13-15oz of dip-in-dots for $13 because ain't nothing like a cup of ice cream dots in a big cup😂"
