There's a Sea World in the northern part of San Diego. Sea World is basically a zoo of just aquatic animals that includes sea lions, sharks, otters, dolphins, and many more. For adults (10+) tickets can range from $84-$220 and the ticket options are one day, one year, two years and many other ticket options that involves bundle packages.
I personally have been to the one in San Diego and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. I liked spending the whole day walking around, looking at all the exotic animals is perfect. The little exhibits that are made for specific animals that somewhat resembles what it would be in the wild so you can see what those animals are like in nature is amazing. You can learn so much about a certain specie just by observing them, like how dolphins swim or the fact that otters can swim on their backs.
However a downside of having these wild animals kept captive is the risk of killing people. You may hear a ton of stories about pet monkeys who are kept as pets and have attacked their owner or killer whales that accidentally or purposely killed their trainer. It's not in their nature to be kept in a 6x6ft cage all their life or to be constantly be doing tricks for the entertainment of others. In comparison, it would be like a person in a jail cell- not enough room for daily and normal humanly activities.
In no way am I bashing on Sea World or zoos in that matter but I personally think it's wrong to put wild animals in cages and having the public pay money to look at them suffer in cages. If anything I think they should be free and the public should be able to pet and love them because I believe animals may not be able to communicate by talking or making noise but they can understand or feel the love given off by humans. It's like babies, they can't talk but hearing a mother's voice can immediately make a baby stop crying.
