Oh! My my . This is an amazing place to visit with family & friends and enjoy like little princess. ❤❤❤

[@biesingeradventures]

We're hoping to go next year! Thanks for the great overview!

[@639Marcela]

Every time our family visits SeaWorld, we learn something about the marine life and we truly enjoy seeing how the whales, dolphins, sea lions perform. It is very educational and a great place to spend time as a family.

[@kyckrox1]

@googfunnyyou should see mantas pov.

[@jesusisfaithful7]

REALLY LOOKS LIKE A FUN PLACE TO VISIT. THE FOOD SEEMS TO BE A LIL EXPENSIVE. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK 😁👏🏽👏🏽

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Tracey!

[@sosohushus8901]

Your videos are amazing 😻 Very informative, and very helpful, plus, concise

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks so much!

[@visitandshare]

Thanks for sharing dear. ❤️👌👌👌

[@EloiseMaki]

Thank you so much for this in depth guide! I love your travel guides especially ones that involve traveling with toddlers. Heading to SD next week and Japan next month so Ive been watching a lot of your uploads

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Eloise!

[@boomertuber8878]

I've gotta try this place out!

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I LOVE SEA WORLD!!! WHEN I WAS YOUNER WE WENT A LOT MORE. I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I LOVE ALL OF THE INNOVATION!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!! SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

[@YellowProductions]

My pleasure John!

[@jameshiga8077]

Hi Chris. Thanks for the Sea World Tour. Lots of activities for everyone to enjoy. I don't think the Sky Ride is lame. Looks like you can have a great view of the area. Take care.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks James 😉

[@scottman895]

The rides look quite interesting! I remember seeing one of them from afar when I was driving to Ocean Beach back in August during my trip to San Diego.

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah. They are definitely tall on the beach skyline

[@menchirox]

I found the annual passes to be good value - it includes a few free tickets per year, has free parking, and that sky ride that is $6 for most is actually free for annual pass holders

[@sweeney0558]

THANKS FOR THE TIPS

[@YellowProductions]

My pleasure Linda!

[@Mariozee619]

Nicce I worked at sea world 15 years 2005 to 2020 had lotta fun

[@richardelliott8352]

that contrasts to what another sailor told me when he was an assistant trainer at sea world. He joined there because he had experience in that type of work in the navy, but left because his boss was racist, so knew he was never getting any promotions and the pay was poor.

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

Beautiful post Chris you have a beautiful daughter.I was there in 1996 while on vacorion with my mum from the UK on a 2 wk stay in Anaheim in L.AThankyou for another interesting video.

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

Can you tell me how much day tickets are if you are just coming for one day please in June? Also what days are the least busy? Do they have picnic areas so you can bring your own food with you? Love the travel vodeos Chris. Thanking You Hazel

[@bestwishes101]

Thank you

[@kristina_kruglova]

SeaWorld is a classic growing up in San Diego, but ever since they started building the new large rollercoasters, the park itself has gone downhill compared to 8-10 years ago. By the way, I recently just came back from an 8-day trip to Istanbul, Turkey with my family! It was an amazing trip; we did so much walking especially on the hills that the city is built on; you can't avoid the hills. Besides the touristy parts, we discovered so many hidden gems and witnessed how the locals lived and what they ate/did, which is the best part of going somewhere. I highly recommend Istanbul, a timeless city

[@YellowProductions]

Sweet! Thanks for the report on Istanbul. We have yet to visit. And I agree. I am not really a big fan of the thrill rides at Sea World

[@stargazer5073]

Funky princess is so cute!

[@RNDBros]

And you should also do things to know when you go to sesame place in Chula Vista California south of San Diego

[@BillGreenAZ]

I agree. And he should include the Tacos El Gordo restaurants.

[@NothingMaster]

I know Sea World is quite a controversial theme park, but one can’t deny the fact that it could be quite entertaining, too. Still, I think especially Orcas are too big to be confined to such small quarters/tanks. Thanks for the tour and your tips.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Alex

[@richardelliott8352]

slavery used to also be "controversial" but you can't deny it was profitable. In my book , humans have a moral responsibility to be kind stewards to the animals of the world, so you are either part of the problem , or against it. It's not like Santa , a harmless fictional situation for kids to enjoy, these are intelligent animals with family structures.

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

How hot is San Deigo in January? Thanking You Hazel

[@interstateruler]

Aww such a cute little girl.

[@martind6115]

Happy Holidays

[@YellowProductions]

Happy Holidays to you too Martin!

[@ardens-travel-guide]

It's very difficult to find award availability at that Hyatt Regency so I usually end up staying at the Grand Hyatt to go to SeaWorld. There will also be some seasonal things at SeaWorld that are on the weekends only which means that the Andaz in the Gaslamp Quarter also won't have award availability when I want to go...

[@HiSteOfMnd]

Another great vid 🤙🏽👌🏽. Off topic, pretty sure it ain’t my wifi or data, but does anyone else experience lagging when watching videos on YT? 🤔 even on this video it’ll do the same thing

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Adio... my YT videos play smooth, but I'll let others chime in!

[@richardelliott8352]

I had no problem viewing KZbin using an apple laptop and spectrum wireless internet. My computer does occasionally print, outside the viewing screen in the top left, when viewing KZbin, that this application is using significant power and my computer will be faster without this app, but I have never noticed any performance degradation. I do get the occasional rare glitch viewing TV over the internet, which seems to be a bad initial loading of the program , and just needs a reset.

[@philvie]

Great video Chris, the spunky princess looks like she had a blast, one thing, be careful eating at SeaWorld, the seagulls will dive bomb your food, (speaking from experience)

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the tip on the seagulls... indeed... they got the first fish out of the spunky princesses hands while we were feeding the seals

[@CpT_PrInCeSs]

Is it worth getting the fast pass if I'm planning to go in the endings of July on the weekend?

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah I think so. It will be busy and lines will be long

[@ProdYaMom]

Wow that penguins enclosure looks insanely small

[@ganmudan]

nooo i thought they stopped the orca shows :/ does know one remember blackfish.

[@anthonykrempp9260]

Blackfish is full of false claims and has been disproven. they are very well cared for at SeaWorld and are non-releasable. here is your proof drive.google.com/file/d/1dZhue-pLH1BeBPosWGwtBTZhN6RdoheV/view?usp=sharing

[@johnnyb9797]

Can you use annual pass in SD in orlando?

[@menchirox]

Theres a platinum pass avail for $262 that includes all 11 parks managed by seaworld (SeaWorld San Diego, Sesame Place San Diego, SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, SeaWorld San Antonio, Sesame Place Philadelphia, Aquatica Orlando, Adventure Island, Water Country USA and Aquatica San Antonio)

[@kristinag1610]

We are planning to go to sea world in the next couple weeks. We want to stay close to sea world What hotels are good and close to park. We want to walk if possible. And is that safe to do?

[@YellowProductions]

The Dana is the closest hotel. Yes. You can walk from there. But the walk is a little over a mile.

[@alexwallace6120]

looks like the grumpy princess enjoyed herself .I don't know how to feel about these prisons for seal life ,and also places like Zoos. I haven't been in one in years. When i lived in San Diego many years ago I did enjoy the zoo and Seaworld .It seemed to be so much more affordable then and yet although I was working I didn't have much extra income .Seaworld on-line is affordable but not $30 for parking. I hear Disneyland also charges for parking. an OC girl must have a substantial income to afford your basic needs, eating out and travel.

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah. I think Sea World just follows Disneylands parking prices. As Disneyland ups it's price (also $30) then Sea World just follows. Having grown up in San Diego I honestly liked Sea World more when it really was just Sea Life focused. All the thrill rides just seem weird. But I'm sure their business analysis says people will pay big bucks for roller coasters, and not for Dolphins.

[@richardelliott8352]

I can't speculate about Sea world, but have read in newspapers that Disneyland uses pricing to limit crowding in the park.

[@MidoriGroen]

One day is 75 no longer 50 😢

[@djdag2000]

Poor Orcas

[@javi111488]

All i got from This vid is that this guy don like smelly aquariums 🤣🤣🤣

[@richardelliott8352]

I went once, before I realized how they abuse the animals to make them preform. At the time I went my only objection was the incredibly punishing sound levels used at the shows, and once was enough. later, when I was working on merchant shipping between Seattle and Alaska , the citizens of Seattle prevented them from kidnapping whales from the local family pods that the citizens had enjoyed for generations, by regularly viewing them from the edge the sound. I saw them myself when out bike riding, and witnessed a mother pointing them out to her child in a baby stroller. So then, after failing to get the easy pry, the sea world organization sent out a message to all the ships in the area, disguised as scientific whale population research , asking for reports of whale sightings. at sea. The truth was they only wanted to find whales to take from their family pods, so that they might imprison them back at sea world and keep them hungry so they do tricks for food. The park is deathly afraid of losing their meal ticket of performing whales, but is trying to transition to a tourist attraction with rides. I only knew about the phony "whale study" because I had read about it in the local Seattle papers, because a wildlife society's objection made the news, because of the fondness for the local whales . The message received at the ship had no mention of Sea World at all, it was just pure deception. I realize that some animals have jobs, and have to work for a living, but those roles should only be for domestic animals, not wild creatures that suffer in captive conditions. there are plenty of things to do in "America's finest city" without supporting animal cruelty, because it truly is a fine wonderful place. Consider that, after all , there is a reason why every once in a while a whale will kill a trainer, when in the wild, living naturally they are only known to kill for food. Last time I read of the average life span of a captive whale, it was three three years on average, I hope that has been improved as captivity becomes more sophisticated, but it does explain the lengths some will go to for animals to replenish their shows.

[@robbyruuger3417]

We not gonna read all that lil bro

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

$36 for food very expensive.

[@edvaira6891]

Sea World’s food is, sadly, quite lousy (Shipwreck Rapids cafe is probably about the best, but it’s quite mediocre and it’s overpriced) and it’s always been that way the thirty years I’ve been a local

[@YellowProductions]

Indeed... Shipwreck Rapids does have the best food... but yeah... better to eat before and after

[@BrianKitching-wv5nh]

$36 for food $ 30 for parking $55 for a ticket that's $131 for ONE person.Crazy prices.That make it $262 for two people.Far too expensive.

[@YellowProductions]

Yes. Sea World is really expensive. And the average daily admission ticket is actually much more. But it varies depending on the season and how busy it is

[@Thompson-mafia]

Tell me you’re a bud light drinker without telling me 😂😂😂

[@stargazer5073]

2022 the whale show was very disappointing, not like the old shows! Sea lion show is the BEST. OMgoodness, go to Hawaii and swim with the sea turtles.

[@YellowProductions]

Agreed.. the Orca show used to be way more entertaining

[@butterflys8236]

The orcas!! :( Let them be free!!

[@jimfaust6342]

It's cashless so if your on a budget - like me stay away

[@stargazer5073]

Whale show is now ruined, so disappointing

[@YellowProductions]

For sure

[@emmani4782]

Don’t Go to SeaWorld if You Care About Animals!

[@kyckrox1]

Or go if you wanna ride roller coasters

[@jamie-gy6bd]

Get a life

[@joebats4872]

Soft

[@JeffSh00ts]

Do they have seafood at seaworld? 😋

[@jonathanaguilar19]

Name a safer place for them?

[@kassidyygore]

1. Don’t go.

[@nathanbeaner928]

we took snacks and they let us take them in...

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the report!

[@bart234465]

Imagine living in a bathtub.
