SEA LION OTTER STADIUM

Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island" features the park's hilarious sea lions, otters and walrus in a swashbuckling adventure, featuring the most elaborate set ever in a sensational tale of lost loot, pirate plunder and misadventure on the high seas. This show is one of the "can’t miss" attractions of Seaworld; both parents and children will find this show delightful.

The set is very elaborate, comprised of balconies and waterslides and things of that nature, and the creatures are undeniably cute and cuddly. Seamore is animal trainer Eric Lang, and Clyde is a sea lion "first mate," and the two of them perform all sorts of zany, madcap hijinks with a strong environmental message thrown in to boot. The enemy: pesky, littering human beings.

The aquatic supporting cast includes a walrus, an otter, some sea-lions, and others, including a harbor seal. The eclectic cast performs some truly wild stunts, such as dancing and leaping off of the aforementioned slides and balconies. In my humble and somewhat twisted opinion, the walrus steals the show, waddling on in during key moments and making his tusked presence felt.

Because the showtimes are widely spaced throughout the day, there is plenty of time to take in the many other sights and sounds of Seaworld, and therefore no real excuse to miss out on this noteworthy production. You shouldn’t have any real problem getting seats, so don’t give yourself an ulcer trying to plan for this event. The show runs about twenty-five minutes in length, but make sure you’re there for the fifteen-minute preshow, as some of the highlights take place right off the bat.

To sum up, don’t miss this show. Your kids will love it to death, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised as well.
