Sea-Arama Marineworld was an animal/entertainment park in Galveston, Texas, for 25 years.
Opened in 1965 as one of the first ocean-themed parks in the nation, it featured more than 25 acres of entertainment, including a 4-acre ski lake and a 50-foot long, 200,000 gallon aquarium. This aquarium held large and small fish as well as large sharks that were part of the shark-feeding shows. Many kids and parents enjoyed the dolphins, sea-lions, killer whales, bird shows, ski shows, big cats, snakes, turtles, sea otters, pelicans, and more.
By 1988 Sea-Arama was the number one tourist attraction in Galveston, until the larger, more flashy SeaWorld opened in San Antonio, which contributed to its closing in 1990.
