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. |
