Those are great photo's. We went to Aquatica a couple of weeks ago and I was expecting it to be very busy. Very surprised to find how 'quiet' it was (no complaints here). There were lots of sunbeds free so I expect it would get very busy in the summer.

Personally I loved it. I think SeaWorld have the mix right between Discovery Cove and Aquatica. One relaxing with the dolphins, tropical fish and excotic birds, the other having fun with water slides, beaches and sunbeds.
