 Last weekend we headed down to San Diego to check out Christmas Celebration at SeaWorld. We hadn't been to SeaWorld since Ocean Explorer opened last year and were very excited to check out not only Christmas Celebration but all of the other new stuff at the park. Written by Gregg Condon The trip down had a dual meeting, as I was meeting my half sister for the first time ever. Not going to get into too many details here, but will say that we totally hit it off, and I rode a coaster with my sister (something I never thought I'd say). So yay!!! =) Welcome to SeaWorld!!  Manta is easily one of the best coasters in CA. So deceiving to look at. So fun to ride.   Flaming-O's!!   We'll get back to you a bit later Clyde and Seamore  Unfortunately the times didn't work out for us to see this. Wish they'd just had continuous shows throughout the day.  Let's check out how the Dolphins celebrate Christmas!!   Hey there Electric Eel!!   This was my view for most of the show. Pro Tip: If you're going to lean forward and hold your phone up and block everybody behind you, at least hold your phone the right way.  I did manage to maneuver around her to get some good pics.     They're Flipping!!  One of our favorite exhibits  Since they were playing Christmas music and had lights up, we had some fun with this one!!   Let's go check out Rudolph's Christmastown!!!  Some really cool displays      We showed up just in time to see the lighting of the Christmas tree      Plethora of Penguin Pictures coming in 3, 2, 1  Ok, maybe not a plethora, but I was in my happy place. It was nesting season. (click pics to see larger versions)       Hey howdy hey, it's an Electric Eel!!  We didn't ride this trip, we had to get good seats for Clyde and Seamore, but we know how fun it is. We'll get the credit next trip. (click pics to see larger versions)     This show filled up super fast  Let's check out Santa's Christmas Village!!   Hey, that rhymes!!    So many Christmas Trees around the park           Told ya  The Sea Lion and Otter show is always a favorite  We got video of most of the show And some pics. The Animal Trainers always look like they're having so much fun. (click pics to see larger versions)            Thanks SeaWorld for a great afternoon and evening of fun. This is definitely a great family Christmas event that's not to be missed!! We can't wait to head back to the park next year for Tidal Twister!! Related Videos:

 We are starting to get our first look at the remodeling of Shamu Stadium at SeaWorld San Diego as well as some very early construction photos of Electric Eel coming to the park in 2018. A HUGE thanks to Joe (@goofyrunning) for sending us these shots. Pictures taken January 24th, 2017 A look at the new stands that were added a few weeks ago (pictures below). This is the area where the Orca's would hang out backstage near the underwater viewing area. This is where you can come and watch them while the old stadium is being remodeled. No "show" here obviously, but the trainers talk about the amazing animals.  Work going on in the stadium area  There are two "Presentations" per day.    Let's move on and take a quick look at the area for Electric Eel  An aerial view of the area. Going to be pretty close to the front of the park.  Pictures taken January 9th, 2017 They've begun the remodel of Shamu Stadium just a day after the last show     Related Updates: |
