SeaWorld San Antonio; Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

· exploring · holidays · park

Since it’s Christmas Day, I wanted to wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. 🎄

We went to SeaWorld in San Antonio to see the holiday lights. One doesn’t really think of the sea in connection with landlocked San Antonio, but there ya go.

We first checked out the sea lions:

Since we happened to be nearby when they were about to start a Sea lion show, we thought we’d check it out:

We sensibly sat outside the splash zone, aka deliberately spraying water jets zone:

Again we happened to be nearby when they were about to start a nativity show, as told by animal puppets, with some live animals, so we attended that too (way too loud):

Then we headed to the Orca Encounter, for a little more animal exploitation… but they were keen to point out how many animals they’d rescued and otherwise helped:
