IanSo today, we visited SeaWorld. This was my favourite park from my trip in January. Hopefully, Mum will enjoy our trip!
It was SeaWorld time! As I said above, this was my favourite park in January. The park opened at 10:00 a.m. today. Luckily, Mum and I slept in today, which was good! It was a busy day, but it was great! They had their Halloween event running, although not while we were there. It meant that some places were closed specifically for Halloween night.
Our first stop was the Dolphins Nursery, which showed some of their dolphins and the vital work SeaWorld does to ensure the safety of dolphins worldwide. A staff member was doing a talk there about the dolphins in the nursery. We got to see some dolphins up close and personal. Here is a picture of one of their dolphins.
Next up, we headed to the Antarctica area to see the penguins. I didn’t get the chance to visit this in January due to how busy it was, so it was nice just to be able to walk around and see the penguins. It was cold in there, though it was 0c, so we went from 34c to 0c. It’s a bit of a shock to the system! It was awesome, though here are some pictures.
After that chilly expedition, it was time for our first show. It was the Dolphin showcase, and just like January, it was awesome. Mum enjoyed it.
Our next stop was the Orca showcase, and we went early to ensure we got a seat. This show is excellent; as I said in January, I was worried about this, but how they explained how they look after them alleviates my fears. It was a great show, and Mum loved it too. Some pictures incoming.
After the show, we headed for some lunch. It wasn’t the best food ever, but it did the job; it was also expensive! Once we had finished, we continued our visit and went to the shark encounter; unfortunately, due to their Halloween event, they had blocked off the actual shark bit as it has been done for Halloween. It was disappointing as I felt they closed them for the Halloween event. We saw a few fishes and smaller sharks, though, just could have been better.
Next, we went to a place called the Wild Antarctica, which showcased expeditions out there and the new animals that were discovered. It was pretty well-themed, and we both enjoyed it. It was also cold, so it helped us with the heat! Here is a picture.
Next up, we went to the SeaWorld rescue area. It shows their rescue efforts and how they keep these survivors healthy and return them to their habitat. It was fantastic to see! Here are some pictures.
Our final destination today was the jewel of the Atlantic Aquarium. It was small but relatively calm. It had nemo and dory fishes! Here are some pictures.
And that was our trip to SeaWorld. We stopped at the gift shop and headed home. It was a fantastic day but exhausting with 17775 steps, and the heat contributed to us feeling wiped out! But we had an amazing day! For the rest of the evening, we relaxed around the resort. Tomorrow is a relaxing day; nothing is planned apart from enjoying the sun. We may even visit Orlando International Outlet Mall. See you tomorrow!
