Sea World, San Antonio, boasts itself as the world's largest marine life park. This should come as no surprise, however, since it is located in the Lone Star state of Texas, where everything is big. Home to Dallas,( aka, The Big D,) big pick-up trucks, big cowboy boots and big hair, Texas promises big fun and big entertainment and Sea World of San Antonio is no exception. So, grab your flip-flops, your cut-offs, sunscreen and some Texas-sized attitude, and come on down ya'll for some summer fun!

Hotels & Lodging

Before you hit the road, be sure and do a quick Google search for hotels in the area. Many luxury hotels offer reasonable packages for a weekend stay. You can not only enjoy the luxurious amenities of the hotel, but you can purchase a two or three day pass to the park as well. But, if you prefer a more economical route, there are plenty of choices to choose from that are family friendly and within a reasonable driving distance from the park.

Most of your national chains have hotels in the area and you can likely call direct to secure a room. Depending on the season, it may be more difficult to get a room close to the park, so be sure and give yourself plenty of time to plan. In addition, Most hotels will have park information, complete with brochures, maps, etc. and many offer shuttle services as well if you prefer to leave the driving to someone else.

Entrance Fees & Passes to get in:

As with most theme parks, Sea World offers single or multiple day passes. Adults and children, ages 3 - 9, can enter the park for one day at the cost of $43.50, or with a two day pass, the cost is $52.99 for adults, and $44.50 for children ages 3 - 9.
With all there is to see, it is more economical purchase a two day pass and save a little cash in the process. Checking Sea World's website, you may also be able to secure some discount prices at various times during the season. If your travel times are flexible, you can end up getting some pretty good deals.

How to dress/what to bring:

If you choose to travel in the summer, the San Antonio temperatures will likely be very hot and humid. Sweltering 90-plus degree temperatures with 70 - 80% humidity is not uncommon in south Texas, so be sure to dress appropriately. Comfortable shoes are a must, as are sunscreen, hats and plenty of water.

Sea World is primarily a water experience whether you are taking in the shows, or swimming in the Lost Lagoon, so water moccasins, flip-flops or shoes and clothing that you do not mind getting wet
