At first Niko was definitely not into the whole Sea World thing. He didn't get what we were looking at and why we were just "wandering" around a park.
I was thinking "Oh great, super bad idea, he's still too young". However, after an hour things started picking up and he got really interested.
He liked the aquarium part and the bright colored fish.
He enjoyed the moving sidewalk for the shark exhibit (he didn't even notice the sharks), and liked the penguins.
His favorites though were the two shows we saw and the Sea Lions.
We saw a show called Pets Rule and Niko loved watching all the animals do tricks on the stage. And, he also LOVED the music. He definitely has some good dance moves in him. Later in the afternoon we watched the Shamu show. He didn't have the best view but it kept his interest watching the whales jump in the air.
His all-time favorite were the sea lions. You could get up really close and watch them, and some people were even feeding the sea lions fish. We spent over 30 minutes just looking at them. He laughed every time they barked and he liked to see them dive for the fish. Really he just loved watching them do whatever they were doing. Towards the end, Niko walked up the "fish stand" where there were 2 ladies selling the fish to feed the seals. It cost $6 to feed the seals about 4 fish, and I was not going to buy them for Niko. However, Niko, decided to have a conversation with the lady at the counter for a good 5 minutes about nothing (since he speaks mostly his own language) and he won over her heart. She found the biggest fish she could find in a bucket and asked her assistant to help my little boy feed the sea lions. Niko got excited, grabbed the fish, and then licked his fingers to taste it. He got the most disgusted look on his face, and refused to touch the fish anymore. Everyone laughed who saw nearby, and a cute girl was able to feed the sea lions instead.
So Fun!
