点评:My sister and I had a wonderful time at Sea World San Antonio! We participated in the Beluga and Pacific White-Sided Dolphin Interaction prior to going into the main park (tour started at 11:05am), which was amazing!
The interaction starts at Discovery Point (which is a separate entrance from Sea World itself). We thought that we had to have a ticket to Sea World in order to participate in the interaction; however, we were not asked for entrance tickets at all while we were in Discovery Point (just for our interaction reservation). Once we checked in, we were taken to an area where we changed into wet suits (which were provided for us and run pretty small) and placed our personal items into lockers (free of charge). After this, we watched an orientation video and then got into vans to be shuttled to Beluga Bay.
After we got to Beluga Bay, we were split into two groups and were able to wade onto a shelf in the Beluga pool (the water was very cold, but we adjusted quickly due to the wet suits). During the interaction, we got to touch/interact with two separate belugas and a pacific white-sided dolphin (touching their heads/fins, getting them to spin/dance with us, signaling them to make different sounds, etc.). We also got to pose for photos with the belugas (including a cheek-kissing photo). We did not actually swim with any of the animals during the interaction (only went in waist deep as an adult - if hair is kept in a bun/up, it will not get wet).
Once we were done with our interaction, we were shuttled back to Discovery Point where we changed back into our clothes (showers with towels are available to wash off). We then had the opportunity to purchase the pictures from our interaction. Although I did have a photokey through my season pass, I was told that it only covers photos in Sea World itself and does not fully cover the pictures from interactions in Discovery Point. So, we paid $50 (which was discounted due to my photokey and Gold season pass) and got all of the pictures that were taken for our group (150 pictures total for the group – we were not in all of them, of course). The interaction lasted about 2 hours total with around 20 minutes of water/interaction time. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and thought that the pictures were good quality!
翻译:我和姐姐在圣安东尼奥海洋世界玩得很开心!在进入主公园之前,我们参加了白鲸和太平洋白海豚互动活动(游览于上午 11:05 开始),这真是太棒了!
互动活动从探索点开始(与海洋世界本身是分开的入口)。我们以为我们必须有海洋世界的门票才能参加互动活动;然而,我们在探索点时根本没有被要求出示门票(只是为了我们的互动预订)。登记入住后,我们被带到一个区域,在那里我们换上了潜水服(潜水服是为我们提供的,而且很小),并将我们的个人物品放入储物柜(免费)。之后,我们观看了介绍视频,然后坐上面包车前往白鲸湾。
到达白鲸湾后,我们被分成两组,能够在白鲸池的架子上涉水(水很冷,但我们因为穿着潜水服很快就适应了)。在互动过程中,我们触摸/与两只白鲸和一只太平洋白海豚互动(触摸它们的头/鳍,让它们和我们一起旋转/跳舞,向它们发出不同的声音等)。我们还与白鲸合影(包括亲吻脸颊的照片)。在互动过程中,我们实际上并没有和任何动物一起游泳(只是像成年人一样潜入到齐腰深的水中 - 如果头发扎成发髻/向上,就不会被打湿)。
互动结束后,我们被送回探索点,在那里我们换回衣服(有带毛巾的淋浴可供冲洗)。然后,我们有机会购买互动时的照片。虽然我的季票上有照片钥匙,但我被告知它只涵盖海洋世界本身的照片,并不完全涵盖探索点互动时的照片。因此,我们支付了 50 美元(由于我拥有 photokey 和黄金季票,因此可以打折),并拍下了我们团队拍摄的所有照片(团队总共 150 张照片——当然,我们并没有拍到所有照片)。互动总共持续了大约 2 个小时,其中大约 20 分钟是喝水/互动时间。总的来说,我们真的很享受这次体验,并且认为照片质量很好!
