We are taking our 5 1/2 year old and our 3 year old son. What should we bring and not bring? Any insight for this trip would be nice. I dont wanna show up wishing I had brought something in or had worn something else etc

tia

bring your own stroller and pack meals in there.

POW.

San Antonio is dirty, dont go

c-jags:

So is it safe to say its like Schlitterbahn, no glass or alcohol etc but you can bring in a ice chest full of food and drinks? And I assume theres a place to keep a ice chest out? At schlitterbahn we leave our ice chest at the picnic area

I haven't been to Sea World since the late 80's or early 90's

As opposed to the cleanliness of Houston? They both have clean and dirty spots. Northside of San Antonio is very clean and nice.

Thanks Charpie. Ill load up a back pack full of towels and some water then. Do people wear swimming suites/bathing suites and a shirt? Seems like the website showed lots of rides etc

No ice chests. The most they let us bring in the last time we were there was bottled water. They search your stuff. We had a backpack with towels, my wallet and phone..and water. Ice chests are a big no no.

i should have put it as SNEAK you can leave it in your car though. but i would recommend some sort of stroller if your 5 year old can fit. they will get tired of walking and want you to carry them.

There is also a water park attached to Sea World. Swimsuit is a must.

Of course, you could always buy one there for like eleventy billion dollars if you forget. :-)

I hope to god you arent going this weekend. I went 4th of july weekend last year it was the horrid. Packed full of mexican poors who would literally fight to get into a damn show. Go any other weekend...seriously.

I was a lifeguard at Lost Lagoon (waterpark inside Sea World) for 3 summers. Some of the best times of my life.

I can very much attest to the fact that you want to stay away from Sea World this weekend. We generally had 4-5 guards watching the wavepool on some weekends, with 6-7 on a busy weekend. On the 4th we had upwards of 10-12 guards patrolling the wave pool because they were packed in like sardines. Not fun.

But what if it isn't done on porpoise?

Burned out on Sea World. I'll be glad if I never have to go again.

ttt for Gambo.

Go in them middle of the week. I would actually get to the park very early and walk around. Then chill out at the water area during the hottest times and then top off the evening with the shows.

Take plenty of sunscreen and small snacks for the kids that are cool. Like applesauce & fruit cups.

Go to the SA Zoo & take the train - that was the best thing ever.

just make sure you aren't horsing around and they wont know.

Go see the ski show.

The Shamu rock n roll Texas show at night is way better than the regular shamu shows in the day.

I'm going this weekend. Man Im glad for the heads up on it being uber packed. Now im regretting that we are going this weekend. I'm military and we get in free. Anyone know if that rule is still in effect for this holiday weekend?

The best way to do it on crowded days is to have at least 1 or 2 people that don't want to ride the rides. Have them go to each show about 30mins or more before it starts to hold all your seats while ya'll wait in line and ride rides.

I'm sure it is Kelso but the only problem with that is all the other military families taking advantage AND all the mexicans.
