We visited San Diego SeaWorld on Thursday, and San Diego Zoo on Friday. It was lots of fun. From my perspective, the tickets are not cheap. San Diego SeaWorld worths the price, but the Zoo may not, to an adult. To be fair, the zoo may worth much more for a kid.

For both theme parks, I purchased the tickets online and brought the print-outs to the parks, which turned out to be a good decision.
Recommendations
- If your family plans for one day trip for each park, purchase the tickets via online or AAA offices. The ticket lines at the San Diego Zoo was so long that it would be at least one hour of wait during peak season. We felt fortunate to be able to walk to the zoo entrance right away with our print-out zoo tickets.
- Try to be familiar with the San Diego SeaWorld programs and map and San Diego Zoo map ahead of time. Afternoon seems to be a peak-time for the San Diego SeaWorld as it was flooded with visitors that many popular shows reached maximum fast.

- Buy a few souvenirs and have fun. Particularly for San Diego SeaWorld Shamu show, your family may want to sit in the first few bench to get wet, real wet. Many folks wore raincoats or set up defenses by holding up large SeaWorld blankets. (We bought one blanket too!)
- Hilton San Diego Homewood Suites is only 10 minutes drive to San Diego SeaWorld and San Diego Zoo, if you are looking for affordable stay. (See Part I, we used 80,000 Hilton HHonors points to redeem two nights)
