Sea World Review

Sea World, Australia's largest marine theme park, has daily shows that highlight the resident dolphins and sea lions, and waterskiing displays. You can also check out the park's polar bears in their state-of-the-art home, fairy penguin and endangered dugong exhibits, and various other marine creatures, including 100-plus eagle, manta, and sting rays at Ray Reef. Don't miss Shark Bay, the world's largest artificial lagoon system for sharks, an innovative dual enclosure with dangerous tiger sharks in one section and harmless reef sharks, rays, and fish in another. Patrons can dive in the latter, and get close-up views of the former through the massive windows that separate the lagoons. Rides include Jet Ski and corkscrew coasters, a monorail, waterslides, the Sky High Skyway cable car, and Sea World Eye, a 95-foot-high observation wheel offering bird's-eye views of the action.
