Tips for animal lovers

Make time for feeding times:- Meal time is the best time to meet some playful Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins, sea lions, and sting rays, who you can even feed by hand-but only at designated times throughout the day. Stop by in the morning to check the day's schedule, then give yourself some extra time to get a great spot right at the water's edge.

Meet an animal trainer in person:- It's hard to ask animal trainers about their job when they're racing through the water on the back of Shamu. But here's something most guests don't know. Our Dine with Shamu programs are the only time guests get back stage access to our killer whale habitat, where whales and their trainers share an inside look at their remarkable bond and what makes it possible. Reservations are recommended as seating is limited.

See what goes on behind the scenes:- Up Close Tours like our Saving a Species or Penguin Encounter tour times aren't listed on the park map, so they're easy to miss out on once you're here. An insider's tip? Book online ahead of time, or stop by the tour desk just inside the front gate.

Tips if you're bringing young kids

Bring a disposable waterproof camera:- There's wet, and there's Shamu wet. If you're in the Soak Zone at Shamu stadium, you'll have a lot more fun watching kids' reactions if you don't have to watch out for an expensive camera. A little tip for parents? Pack a parka or pick one up at the gift shop. It's a great way to keep yourself and a towel or two dry, and still get in on the fun.

Feed their imagination:- Look for interactive work stations and computers located throughout the park that give kids a fun way to learn about the animals they meet. Kids can test their lung power against a walrus in Wild Arctic or see how a manatee grinds its food at Manatee Rescue.

Sesame Street Bay of Play:- Watch your kids play at Sesame Streets Bay of Play opening spring 2008.

Make an autograph book:- Put together an autograph book with kids ahead of time, then catch the Shamu and Crew characters from 9 a.m. to noon near the front gate.

Catch the show before the show:- Take your seat for the Clyde and Seamore show at least 30 minutes ahead of time. Late-comers miss out on their zany pre-show antics.

 

Snack time Tips

Beat the crowd:- Plan to have lunch during show performances and you'll get ahead of the crowd.

Don't skip breakfast:- Start your day at Breakfast with Shamu. You'll get a seat next to our biggest star, plus enjoy an-all-you-care-to-eat buffet that will take care of even the biggest appetites well into the afternoon. Insiders say this is one of the best kept secrets in the park.

General Park Tips

Choose your seats wisely:- You will get drenched if you sit in the front seat of Journey to Atlantis, and we mean drenched.

Beat the heat:- Temperatures can get quite high especially in the middle of the day. Plan to visit these "cool places" when the thermometer rises - Wild Arctic, Penguin Encounter, Manatee Rescue, Shark Encounter or any one of three Aquariums.

Remember the kid in you:- Don't be surprised if you find yourself choked up in the presence of Shamu. Or your arms covered with goose bumps in 85° weather as your hand touches a dolphin. There's an incredible connection between humans and animals, one we celebrate here every day. Take a few deep breaths and drink that in when you feel that move through you, and you'll carry that feeling home with you.
