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.

Have a platinum pass so I go when I can to Sea World San Diego California. I Always have a fun…read moretime lots of animals and rides and stuff to do. Atmosphere is amazing . Yes I recommend them and will be back. Got to see a show and hang out with family for one of my Neices Birthday.

Extremely disappointed with our experience at SeaWorld San Diego. We were only at the park for…read moreabout THREE HOURS, and during that short amount of time just to watch Baby Shark Halloween Show, our wagon was stolen from the designated stroller parking area at the Mission Bay Theater while we were watching a children's show. What makes this even more upsetting is that this happened in an area specifically filled with families and young children. You're bringing your child to a theme park to have a fun family day, and meanwhile someone had the audacity to intentionally take another family's wagon and belongings knowing very well it did not belong to them. It's honestly pathetic. Since sharing what happened, I've had multiple people message me telling me they've also had strollers or wagons stolen at SeaWorld, which makes this even more concerning. Even someone messaged me she was with her three children by herself with a newborn watching the dolphin show, and someone stole her stroller and nothing was done to help her. What has made the situation even more frustrating is the lack of follow-up afterward. I reported the wagon missing directly to security and gave them my phone number. I would expect to be contacted whether the wagon was found or not, even if it was simply an update letting me know that nothing had been turned in. When I later called trying to get a direct number for Lost & Found so I could follow up myself, I was told there really wasn't a number for me to call and check. I was directed to an online Lost & Found form, and I was even told that if I wanted to see whether my wagon had been returned, I could physically come back to SeaWorld and check for myself. What is the point of taking my phone number when I report stolen property if there is no follow-up afterward? A guest shouldn't have to repeatedly check an online form or drive back to the park just to find out whether their property was recovered. For a major family theme park where parents are expected to leave strollers and wagons in designated areas while attending shows and attractions, there needs to be a better system in place. Better monitoring, better security around stroller parking areas, and a better process for communicating with families when something like this happens. And if someone is caught intentionally stealing another family's stroller, wagon, or belongings, I believe SeaWorld should permanently ban that person AND anyone in their party who knowingly participated or helped them do it. There should be real consequences for stealing from families at a children's theme park. We were there for THREE HOURS. I never imagined I'd have to worry about someone stealing our daughter's wagon during a family day at SeaWorld. It completely put a damper on what was supposed to be a special day with her.
