I loved this place,it was a fantastic day out.you really need to make sure you have comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking involved,but worth it.You can purchase your tickets at the gate or go online & buy them,which are cheaper.The animal displays were great & I loved the seal & dolphin shows,very entertaining.Also loved watching the polar bears,they were amazing.Some of the rides have a bit of a wait,but at certain times of the year the crowds aren't as bad.The food was a bit pricey but we took most of our own & then just brought cold drinks throughout the day.The staff were very friendly & I highly recommend anyone to visit here.

Always a Crowd Favourite - We are Especially Lucky to have this in Queensland at our Door Step so to speak, The Shows are Great, I think that the shelters or places for the Animals etc are Housed in are great, whilst they may appear to be a little small, The Cost of the Park Entrance is what you would expect to pay, if you are a small Family, I reckon Buying the Year Pass's they all seem to have these days is the way to go. You would be hard pressed to walk out not have a great day. Its Clean, Its Fresh, and its in a Great Location. Should be on the List of any Holiday Maker intending to stay in the Sunshine State.

Approximate cost: $150

Fantastic theme park - best of the bunch if you have small children, as there is plenty of little kids rides and they love the shows.

Plan your day! Shows are all around the park at different times of the day.

I did however feel really sad for the animals in such small enclosures.

Approximate cost: $89 - kids under 2 free.

Of all the theme parks this is my favourite, plenty to do see and a wonderful atmosphere. There are shady places to stop and lots of tropical greenery.

It didn't feel as commercially orientated and I felt the few things we did spend money on were worthwhile. It's a big park and you need to organise your times so you don't miss out on shows.

My grand-daughter like the seals the best and had a photo of a seal kissing her. Too funny.

Dolphins are spectacular.

Recommend going off season or midweek if you like things more quiet. We stayed at the Resort and loved being able to come and go as we pleased as well as taking the monorail home!

Arrived to pretty full carpark. Long line to get to desk to process prepaid tickets. Eventually got into actual complex. Penguins fantastic. Polar Bear very cool. Dinosaur display was very interesting and pretty realistic. Dolphins show pretty good but as expected. Food was expensive and rushed but OK for theme park take away. Overall the pain of entry and crowds are worth it if you have an appropriate aged child in tow. 6 to 12 year olds seem to have a really good time. Younger kids get bored too easily.

There were many different animal enclosures and various show times throughout the day - the only thing was that some of the show times were on the same time as others or were on soon after the others but on the other side of the park so we had to rush.

Feeding the Sting Rays was quite an interesting experience (although it did cost $9 for a cup of sardines and squid to hand feed them). The young kids loved the star fish touching pools and sea urchins along with the underwater viewing area to the tropical fish/shark tanks. The dolphin show was average - I expected more. The seals were entertaining to watch as were the fairy penguins. Unfortunately the whole time we were there the polar bears were hiding out in their caves so we didn't get to see them which was disappointing.

There weren't many rides for younger children to go on.
The food, drinks and gift shop were all very overpriced!

Approximate cost: $80

We love this theme park but they really need some more shady areas. They also need to change their shows they have been the same for 10 odd years or more.

Approximate cost: $VIP pass

Friendly staff , amazing shows, we where in awe the whole time we where there , the stingray touch pool was a huge hit with my teen's (as a family I would take my own food and drink as its quite expensive )

Approximate cost: $VipPass99Each

Went in November 2012 and only one big ride was operational no log ride and no viper and no one mentioned this on the way in. Thank goodness for the water cannons/boats and the seal show was fantastic. But DO watch out for the scammers handing out scratchie tickets, you will win and their act of surprise is fantastic they will then try to get you to make a 90 min appointment to sell you timeshare appartments. Trust me, everyone wins. The guy was telling us that only 5 people a day win, but when we sat and watched what went on, every person wins the three stars. Mostly disappointed with the rides not working, I understand that maintenance has to occur but perhaps they could do this in the winter months and/or at least have a sign out the front or a note on the website to say what is not running.

I've visited sea world maybe 20 times in my lifetime. It's great value in comparison to state show rides ($5-12 each ride). If you purchase a super pass, it works out even greater value. It was a hugely good idea for them to introduce the passes as they have more of a chance to make money in their stores. Families are more willing to buy when it feels as though they are visiting for free all year.
We actually weren't too interested in rides the last time we went (it was too hot) so be paid to go into the hotel pool which has a great kids pool with a huge amount of activities in the water proofed playground. We stayed in the pool by the waterfall and relaxed.
