SeaWorld was amazing! Experience Oz makes the booking process easy.
The Seal encounter is definitely worth the extra money. Booking it through Experience Oz was easy. You can add the tickets to your Apple wallet and everything. Checking in was made simple and at the park, everything was open and thriving. The kids' area is great and so is the water section.
