Mission Bay is the perfect spot to picnic,
play in the sand and swim in the warm water (no waves in the bay). All
around Mission Bay are grassy areas and picnic tables. Bike paths are perfect
for biking or scootering. There are lifeguards at the
swimming areas in spring and summer. |

 Boating,
sailing and pedal boating – Mission Bay is also the perfect place

Rides – |

|

- Journey to Atlantis – Hoping to cool off on a hot day, at the end of the ride, your boat plummets down a water cascade, sending up a huge splash of water (and you'll get soaked). |
|

Before you go on the ride, check out the aquarium, with large swooping bat rays and leopard sharks. |
|
|
|

Tips for enjoying SeaWorld |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Getting wet – Come prepared to get wet (hey, remember, most of the marine animals at SeaWorld live in the water). Getting soaked is refreshing in summer, but in cooler winter weather, kids might want dry clothes. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Lockers – Get a locker to stow purchases and any extra things you don't want to lug around all day. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Height requirements for rides – Make sure your child meets the height requirements, before you get in line. |
