This show is one of my favorites at Sea World! It's located next to Sea Lion Point on the Sea World…read moreMap. There is plenty of seating available. The presentation is approximately 15 minutes, and it's all outdoors. The splash level is small in comparison to the Orca Encounter show. The show has two sea lions and one otter. There are two team members providing the presentation. You'll learn about their characteristics, skills, and behaviors. The show also focuses on steps that you can help to protect them and their environment! This presentation was quite educational and entertaining!

Love this show!!!…read more It's cute and so much fun. You get to see a lot of the sea lions and they are so adorable! What good boys!!! They listen so well for them fishies lol We sat in the way back so I could open my umbrella. They have strict rules about no umbrella, but dang man it gets really hot in summer. And there's zero shade here. I have an allergy to the sun, and explained that to the staff member. But she didn't care. No umbrellas that's the rule. So we sat in the way back so it would block anyone's view or mess with the sound. Frustrating that they don't have shade and can't make exceptions for medical issues. But the show was amazing! I wish we got to see more of the otters! But to be fair, there's a whole other area at SeaWorld for that lol

Having watched various performances in this water ampatheater, as far back as the water skiing…read moredemonstrations, I'd confidently say the Cirque Electrique (summer show) is the best ever.. Highlighted by colorful jet ski freesyle stunts and a completely crazy flyboard performance we ended our night thoroughly impressed. Even if you're a passmember and avoid the summer crowds this is a show not to be missed. Tip - Get here a half hour early, earlier on the weekends.

It's kind of corny, but I enjoyed every second of it!…read more I was surprised by the mob of people waiting for the gates to open before the show. I guess I just never realized that this show was so popular. But, now that I've experienced it, I can see why. It's a ton of fun, for people of every age. The athleticism of the performers is astounding, and the fact that they're doing things on the open water is impressive. It's not as polished as the Cirque du Soleil shows we've seen in the past, but for an amusement park venue, it's still phenomenal. Once the show started, the performers had the audience in the palms of their hands. They were expert at eliciting laughs, gasps and applause, and it was all very well deserved. The jumping, tumbling and diving was impressive, and the jesters kept us wondering what the poor "rube" from the audience would be put through next. (He was a plant - no random audience member would be that game for those hijinks.) The overall effect of the music, the physicality (check out the pictures of the couple dangling from a rope and each other, over the water for several minutes) and the artistry make for an excellent diversion while at the park. You're in the sun on metal bleachers, but we had a good breeze coming in off the bay. The stadium filled up quickly, but we certainly weren't squeezed in. I think I enjoyed listening to people laugh and exclaim almost as much as I enjoyed watching the actors do their thing. It definitely is worth the stop, as much for the live performance as for the chance to sit down. ;)

Always fun to watch the Sea Lions!!! Saw a preview of the Sea Lions Tonite show which was…read morefantastic. Spoof skits on past Seaworld shows, like walking down memory lane. Scaled back a little yet entertaining and enjoyable. More targeted water wetting in the Splash Zone seats. Also entertaining is a seagull trying to get a fish from a fish bucket locked hanging from the clear wall. Looks like he's been successful before!!! Definitely a return visit call to see the antics of Clyde and Seamore at Sea World San Diego.

A perfect family show to keep the children entertained…read more It's outdoors with stadium style seating with the bay as a backdrop. Sea lions work with staff with unique tricks and jokes while classic tunes are blasted on the speakers. It's a short show about 20 minutes but Biff get the crowd hyped up before the show so get here early. I suggest brining a hat and some sunscreen to avoid getting sunburned. Also, if you don't want to get wet or spend extra money to dry up, sit on the second tiered section far from the splash zone. You can thank me later.

I love the new Shamu Show at Sea World. I never enjoyed the old shows and did not find it…read moreentertaining watching the whales being forced to perform in what appeared to be unnatural ways. Before the tragic accident the whales seemed to perform for food and if they misbehaved they appeared to be sternly placed in the back pool area. The new show is more informative and the trainers spend lots of time giving the whales affection. They still feed the whales during the show but the trainers and whales leave you with the impression that they are bonded in trust and affection over the food. The whales still create excitement with the splash zone. It never gets old watching people freak out by the thick wall of salt water that shoots out of the aquarium directly at them. For some reason many tourists believe that they will only get a little wet in the first rows of the Shamu Stadium. They do not take into account how large the whales are and how high they go into the air before crashing down into the water.

Easily my favorite show of the day! Shamu is the first thing I think of when someone says Sea…read moreWorld, so naturally this was the first show I had to see when we first got there. The tricks they have the whales doing are just incredible.For being such huge creatures, they can really launch themselves high up in the air! I especially loved when the were getting ready to give the whales the buckets of whatever(??) and they just nodded the heads up and down like "hell yea!" lol It is what it is, chessy, family friendly enertainment. 5 stars.

I posted a picture of the evil hip hop skull figures who were there for whatever reason; because I hated it. Lol. I knew I would have to explain my review and a picture says 1,000 words, so there you go. And then they returned to encircle a soldier girl being tossed in the air by other soldiers. They kinda ruined it. It could have been good... maybe angels jumping for joy surrounded by shepherds next time? Something that means Christmas for a Christmas themed show... Why ya gotta pg-13 everything Sea World? A few little kids around me didn't dig the evil dancers part and some parents were surprised. So, Parents be forewarned if your child is sensitive to dark themes. This show has it. Yeah the inner conspiracy theorist in me also saw the 3 numeral sixes 'hidden' in the tree of their logo. I cannot believe they got rid of O Wondrous Night for this. If you like fighting for a seat you waited 30 minutes for because people are trying to save seats even though you're explicitly told not to save seats before you enter, and you like your Christmas mixed with a drop of passion, this is your venue and show. Oh brother...

I loved this show but wished it was longer than 18 minutes. No boring moments though. Another…read morereviewer mentioned the scary 'skull-faced' hip-hop dancers. Actually they portray the rats that have a battle with the soldiers in the original Nutcracker ballet. The music during the rat portion is ominous and might scare the easily-scared. Aside from the dancers there is a lyra performer (the Sugarplum fairy on a metal hoop), Russian bar soldiers, and teeter board elves. If you sit in the upper half of the theater you have a more panoramic view and get to see the 'snow' that falls during the lyra portion. There are really no bad seats in this theater which holds 800 people.

We came across Drill Instructors who were also being trained. As we walked to our car, my Husband pointed out this museum. He said he had been in it as a recruit himself. Years ago....like in 1976,when he was 19. He is now 63. We walked in, to the gal Who told us she would be closing in about 5 minutes. So here's a review of what we got to see in 10 minutes. She was patient and let us know she had to close up the building but we could look around. There is so much history in this museum. I was so fascinated by all the information. The Marine Corps plays such an important part in our lives so I was so happy to learn more about its history and to see factual displays defining almost every aspect and every war we have been through. Great job in making this museum so interesting and fun. It is free to the public as long as you can get into the base. Be prepared to have license and registration and proof of insurance to access the base. We will visit again soon. My husband served 25 years in the Corps and he too, learned so much more during our visit to this James Day Museum. Keep up the good work! Absolutely a very positive experience! 5 stars for you!

Desde su apertura ha llamado la atención de personas, tanto por la impresionante estructura del edificio como de lo que alberga por dentro. El propósito de este centro es promover el arte entre adultos, jóvenes y niños, para lograr esto el centro cuenta con algunas exposiciones permanente al igual que exposiciones que cambian con temporadas. Algo que descubrí cuando vine aquí y que me gusto mucho es que ofrecen cursos dedicados para la educación del arte. El programa tiene tres niveles. El primero es introducción a las artes. Este programa cuenta con diferentes actividades progresivas que van mas dirigidas hacia jóvenes y niños. El segundo es un taller de creaciones, dirigido hacia jóvenes. El tercero es un curso de profesionalización. Este curso es el mas intensivo y va dirigido a estudiantes que les interese convertirse en docentes. Vale la pena venir aquí, las exposiciones son de lo mejor y el estacionamiento es amplio y gratis.
