For the little kids in the family, this is the last weekend you can catch Big Bird's Beach Party. The very last show is at 3 p.m. on Monday. Shamu's Splashin' Beach Party in Lost Lagoon has some new moves and will get the little ones up and dancing, spending some of that amazing kid energy.
For the whole family, including the big kids (some folks use the term grown-ups, but does anyone REALLY grow up? I don't think so!) we plan to make sure all of the rides are open for those beloved thrills, chills and splashes. Lost Lagoon is now open for the season on weekends and there are plenty of great water slides to help any coaster fan cool off.
I also wanted to pass on a few tips and tricks for getting the most out of your SeaWorld San Antonio visit, especially during a holiday weekend:
* SeaWorld's parking lot opens at 8 a.m. You can beat the crowds by heading to the park early.
* When driving to SeaWorld, consider departing earlier or allow extra time for the large volume of holiday traffic.
* The Entrance Plaza at SeaWorld opens at 9 a.m. You will be able to enjoy several park areas, including the Clydesdale Hamlet, Sharks/The Coral Reef exhibit and Dolphin Cove. Get in early and feed the dolphins before the heat of the day. Trays of fish can be purchased when Dolphin Cove opens.
* If you are planning on a day of rides, hit the park early and do the rides first. The latest any of SeaWorld's rides open during this holiday weekend is noon.
* When planning your dining times at SeaWorld San Antonio, keep in mind that peak period for park guests to stop and eat is between 1:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
* For more insider tips, as you enter our gates, tune into SeaWorld's radio station - 96.5 FM.
We can't wait for your visit! Don't forget to share your rides with us.
