This is a great park for kids (and adults ;-)). They have rides, shows, exhibits and behind the scene tour, up close tour and other interactive programs.
Here are some tips if you're visiting SeaWorld San Antonio.
1) Buy tickets online. (Park tickets, Parking tickets etc...)
You can find coupons online and best of all, you can print out the tickets and bypass the line at the gate.
2) Buy All day meal plan - this is not only for getting food but also for drinks.
Technically, we only eat 2-3 times during the day but we would need a lot of water and other drinks. For $30 (adults) and $15 (kids), you save ton of money on the drinks alone. If you eat more than 3 times during the day you would save even more. BTW, you don't have to get food every times you go through the line. Just get drinks if that's all you need.
Note:
You can't bring big cooler to the park.
3) Bring insulated stainless steel water bottles filled up with ice and water.
I have 3 of these
Thermos Nissan 2465 18-Ounce Stainless-Steel Hydration Bottle
You can click on the link above to see and buy it from Amazon.com.
It's true you can get cold water from the restaurants but with the heat, the water from the plastic bottles warmed up pretty fast. Another thing is the health concerns when the plastic bottle is kept under the heat. It's best to transfer water from the plastic bottle to the insulated stainless steel bottle. Nothing is better than cold water when you're thirsty.
4) Plan ahead
Do plan ahead on what you want to see/play and eating schedule. This is to avoid walking back and forth. It's not fun when walking under the sun.
5) Bring hats/Sun screen and other protections for the sun.
Most of the walkways in the park are not covered. So you will be walking under the sun most of the time.
6) Check ride/tour height requirements
Check their website for height requirements for the rides and tours if you're bringing small kids.

. Basically, this device allow you to mount an LCD monitor to the camcorder hot shoe. But for my use, I'm mounting it on my DSLR (Nikon D70) shot shoe and attach my digital camcorder (Cannon HF100) to the adapter. I did a few test and it did serve my purpose well. It is quite small too. What a great device.
We went there after they had the opening ceremony. The park is smaller than I thought but well organized. There are signs with the history of Crape Myrtle in the USA. However most of the Crape Myrtle bushes are still small. They do have some nice and larges Crape Myrtle trees lined up in the middle of the park. There is a mount in the back of the park where you can walk up the circular path to the top to have a good view of the park. From this point, looking back is a nice corn field. My 4 yr old son and 1 1/2 yr old girl had a blast running around. I did spot a picnic table under big trees on the left side of the park. There might be more than one picnic tables but I was too busy chasing my kids.

Google map is showing the address "6452 Collin McKinney Parkway, McKinney, TX" for this place incorrectly. This place is on Collin Mckinney Parkway between Stacy Rd and Alma Dr).
, every cell phones and wireless plan that I got for my family and friends are from this site. They offer FREE 2-day shipping on all phones. Never had any problem. If there is a problem with the phone, call them up and they would mail you within 2 business days. Great service. Highly recommended.
and try their service if you need if you need one in rush.
as well. 
and select the car that you want and configure the options and they would let you know instantly price of the car + options. Pretty cool.
