“Great zoo in water form”
We've been here many times, mostly when relatives from other places come to visit. They have impressive shows with orcas and dolphins, though it's definitely crowded. It takes up practically the whole day. It's located off the I-5, just before you reach the downtown area. It's one of the top attractions in the area. Kids will love it. There are lots of animal exhibits and some really nice ones. One tip would be to check online to see if you can bundle other attractions into a ticket so you get better prices by combining them over a few days.
