Lost Lagoon at Sea World San Antonio

I did not even realize that Sea World also resided in San Antonio until my friendly neighbors from Texas shared the 411 with us last year. They raved about the water park that was inside the park, which was absent from Sea World San Diego. And I remember they raved about the San Antonio Riverwalk. We decided to follow their advice and everything they had mentioned lived up to the awe and fun they had shared.

My husband and I vacationed to La Jolla, California six years ago for our ten year anniversary, leaving the kids behind. Neither of us had been to Sea World, so we went during that trip and it was entertaining. Six years later, the kids are now well aware of Sea World and have been asking to go. Although we are far from world travelers, we have had our fair share of interesting vacation destinations under our family belt. Therefore, not wanting to repeat California as the kids have been to Disneyland, we opted to take up the advice of our friends and check out Sea World San Antonio.

Now having been to two of the three Sea Worlds, I would say that the San Antonio offers much more. Not only do you see the Shamo Show, Viva Divers, and the chance to feed dolphins, but the Lost Lagoon Waterpark is fantastic and an incredible addition to the water celebration that Sea World promotes.

We spent two days at Sea World. The first was all about the animals and exhibits and a few rides. The second day was all about getting wet in Lost Lagoon and more rides. My children have never been to a water park. I know, hard to believe. But it is not due to the fact that they don't know how to swim, as they are well accomplished in that sport, rather it was because neither of them are too adventurous ... until. this. trip.

A day well spent. They went on water slides and waves pools and my son went on roller coasters that I wouldn't venture on (which to be honest, isn't saying much, but at least so far he does not continue in my chicken footsteps). Full sun, shade for lunches and breaks, swim suites all day long. Doesn't get much better than that. Lost Lagoon Park at Sea World is a must-do for kids of all ages and bravery levels.

My husband paving the way for the kiddos.
My son fell through the tube as soon as he hit the pool. My daughter went down backwards the whole way down.
The wave pool ~ our family favorite. It was hard to get individual pictures because the kids would either get eaten by the wave or too many strangers blocked the view. They finally held hands to get one group shot.
Headed towards the gates at closing.
Last family photo at Sea World. Get used to these exact bathing suit shots because there are more photos in this attire coming up. HA!
