It’s full of things that will fascinate and thrill kids, including feeding Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins, riding roller coasters, and seeing penguins up close. SeaWorld’s main attraction in San Diego is its Orcas, several of which reside in 7-million-gallon habitats, each known as Shamu Stadium (Shamu originally died in the 1990s). The first Orca brought to SeaWorld San Diego in the 1960s was named Shamu. At SeaWorld parks, ‘Shamu’ is now used as a stage name for adult Orcas in performances. The Orcas all have real names. SeaWorld parks also feature a variety of thrill rides, including roller coasters and lazy river rides.
