SeaWorld San Antonio Tips for Season Pass Holders

Since we already had season passes it was a no-brainer that we would attend. The day was so much fun as we were able to meet fabulous bloggers, received free meal passes, and Quick Queue passes. Did you know that you can buy both at Customer Service?!?

I swear the Quick Queue passes are worth every penny! You get to walk IN the OUT and get on the ride without a wait. My kids thought I was a rock-star that day! Needless to say, they got a lesson on humility and how chanting “we’re VIP” is straight up rude. {{giggle}}

I also learned so much about SeaWorld in our behind the scenes tour. Our guide was so enthusiastic about her job. I’m quite sure teared up at one point when she was explaining the plight of the Hawaiian Monk Seal. It was touching.

Everyone got a chance to touch a small shark. It was completely cool with all the roaming fingers.

All of those gray cylinders are for the Shamu tank filtration system! Holy Hannah it’s huge. I can’t remember how many gallons it was – but it was a lot of water.

The dolphins were showing off a little when we showed up to gawk at them. It was adorable to see how much they love an audience. However, when their trainers came to feed them – it was ON! They started talking loudly and doing flips. They know who they really need to impress.

I think feeding the sting rays was the highlight for me. We learned all about how they eat, their tail, and teeth. Everyone got to hold one of each which was fascinating!

You can tell that SeaWorld takes pride in the quality of food they feed their animals as well as the quality of care each species receives. I felt honored to be given such a fabulous behind the scenes look. These lucky animals are cared for and given such love and devotion.

This trip we actually spent the majority of the time at the rides and in the water park. It was a hot day and the wave pool, water rides, and lazy river was calling our name.

We also wanted to take advantage of the Quick Queue passes since we could ride the rides back to back with out any wait.

A huge thank you to the San Antonio visitors bureau for hosting the VIP event at SeaWorld San Antonio. It was a huge bonding day for our family and one we’ll never forget. Of course we kept our family tradition of cotton candy! {snicker}
