If you want to see mostly animals, then go to the zoo. they have a more general range of animals like pandas, snakes, etc.if you want to go to seaworld, you'll see mostly aquatic animals. seaworld is also like an amusement park where they have rides like journey to atlantis

They both really rock, so its a hard pick. The zoo is really fun to see all of the animals, and is one of the best zoos in the country. There are only 3 seaworlds though, so that is very unique and has a lot to offer. Aah! Its too hard to pick, but if you are over 30 or have kids under 7, the zoo. If you are a young adult, the Seaworld has lots of rides and shows that are really fun that I think make it worth your day.

I live in San Diego and have been to both many times and I would recommend Sea World. You get some of the elements of a theme park like shows and rides but you also get the educational value of the animals. I think that Sea World is more appealing to all age groups where as the zoo is more aimed at younger kids, plus the zoo doesn't have a whole lot that isn't at every other zoo around.

I can't tell you about the zoo but I've been to Seaworld and had a very enjoyable experience. I also enjoyed Balboa park.

I hope you have a great time no matter what you choose to do.

the zoo, you can be done w/ seaworld inside 3 hrs, whereas you can easily spend the whole day at the zoo

ive been to both and i can honestly say that sea world is better.

even though both are really fun, sea world has more things to do.

There are many good shows, rides, and aquatic animals in sea world.

There are many zoos in the country and only 3 sea worlds, so I say you take advantage of that and just go to sea world =)
