The Adventures of a Twin Mom

Motherhood and Travel Blog

Dolphins, Whales, and Sesame Street…oh my!

Since moving close to the beach, Camden and Ella are obsessed with dolphins, whales, and basically anything that lives in the ocean.  Judd and I have always been too.  We talked about taking them to SeaWorld Orlando and then I found out they have a new Sesame Street so we decided we had to go! We went two weeks ago and had a great time.  I thought I’d share a little bit about our day at SeaWorld!

Whenever we go to any park, I plan the day ahead of time so it’s easy!!  I decided Judd and I should ride an adult ride first thing first because the kids would be calm.  Manta was our first ride and it was AMAZING! I waited in line and then we did the Child Swap so that Judd did not have to wait in line. I highly recommend doing this, it was super easy!

Next it was to the Dolphin Nursery. We all loved this and 2 weeks later, Camden and Ella are still asking to go see the dolphins!

I was really excited to go to Pets Ahoy which is a show that shows many animals (dogs, cats, birds, mice, and I’m sure I’m forgetting several doing tricks). My two year olds sat through the entire show and laughed, I don’t think they wanted it to ever end! This is a MUST!

Next, it was time to see the stingrays at Stingray Lagoon and Manatee Rehab.  These were such awesome exhibits to see!

We ate lunch in Antarctica and then rode the Empire of Penguin.  This was a fun ride that ended in the penguin area.  My husband has a penguin obsession so he really loved this!

We cooled down by walking though the Shark Encounter, always cool to see!

We ended the day by seeing Shamu and then we headed to Sesame Street! We made it just in time to see the parade, look at how excited Ella was!

We met the Cookie Monster and Elmo!

Then we rode Elmo’s Choo Choo Train.

SeaWorld did a great job with this area, it’s adorable and there are so many interactive things for the kids to do!

Thanks for hosting us SeaWorld Orlando! It was a great day!

    It looks like your family had so much fun! These are the kinds of days that you never forget. The underwater tube is the coolest.

    Im glad your kids had fun. Although I personally hate to see dolphins in captivity and think it should be banned!

      Hi! Yes, it’s 5-10 minutes from Disney! We stayed at the Lake Buena Vista Resort and Village which was less than a 10 minute drive from both Disney and SeaWrld!
