Which Seaworld tour?
Specifically, which "behind the scenes" tour are you referring to at $200?
My daughter works at SeaWorld and I'd be happy to ask her details if I know which extra tour or interaction you are considering?
I do know that the Dolphin Interaction Program (DIP) and Beluga Interaction Programs (BIP) are excellent ...
Getting to Seaworld without a car is a pain, but can be done via public transportation or taxi.
If you're an aviation buff, you can easily spend several hours at the USS Midway. We are members and pop in for a few hours each visit and I still haven't seen it all!
