I've lived in San Diego for around fifteen years and finally went to Seaworld a few months ago. It is a lot of family fun. Loads of attractions to see and the Shamu show is spectacular!
There's a lot of walking, but, so much to see and you probably won't see it all in one day. The group of people that I was with went on the "Ride to Atlantis?" over and over again, we stayed there a half hour!!! There is so much for the kids to see, feeding the turtles and there is a petting area.
The food is all overpriced, but, that's normal for an amusement park.
Try and get a year long pass, there's always new things going on that you need to see.
