SeaWorld Orlando

Don't skip the shows. We enjoyed this park so much. We have been to a lot of the parks in Florida, and this one was very relaxing. We had our sister and Mom with us, and we enjoyed sitting and watching the shows. In between, we ate and did walkthrough attractions. The roller coasters were an option, but we wanted to focus on relaxing. I highly suggest taking a look at the show schedule. It was not only enjoyable, but it was also a time for us to sit down and not walk. For most of the shows, we were able to get there 20 minutes earlier, which meant we were able to be off of our feet for about 40 minutes. I would not one thing. There are no plastic bags in the park. They have paper bags but there are no plastic bags. This is no big deal, but just wanted to make you aware in case you're looking for a plastic bag.

Our family visited during “waves of honor” for military families. We had a fantastic family day with the kiddos. Seaworld goes above and beyond to give back to the community of veterans and current service members. We appreciate all they do for animal conservation and public awareness to help preserve our oceans. Great park with lots to do from young, old and all the in between. Very accessible for special needs and disabled patrons. Which is huge plus for a family with an Autistic toddler whom absolutely is obsessed with sea creatures, whales and sharks in particular. 💝 Highly recommend for families to enjoy the day and learn new things about the world around them.

SeaWorld Orlando is such an incredible experience for families, couples, or anyone looking to enjoy a day filled with excitement and wonder. The highlight of the visit has to be the shows — they are truly spectacular! From the breathtaking orca and dolphin performances to the sea lion comedy acts, each show is well-produced, entertaining, and heartwarming. You can really see the connection between the trainers and the animals, and it's amazing to watch. The park itself is beautifully maintained, with a great mix of thrilling rides, peaceful exhibits, and interactive experiences. There’s something magical about walking through the park and seeing majestic marine animals up close, then hopping on a coaster for an adrenaline rush. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the day, and the entire place had a positive, family-friendly vibe. If you're in Orlando, SeaWorld is absolutely worth a visit — it’s a perfect mix of education, entertainment, and fun!

A good place to take the kids, the ticket price is reasonable, there are many types of fun, but the popular projects need to wait for a long time if you don't buy a PASS card. Some projects are often suspended for maintenance, but it is also for safety reasons, which is understandable. In short, it was a very happy day!

Great park. Lots of things to see. The dolphin and sea lion shows were great. Oral show was closed 15 mins prior to 3:30 show due to full capacity. Make sure you come a little sooner. All day did pass is definitely worth it. BBQ place was the most delicious. The little water park and playground next to it was awesome for my kids. We really appreciated the nursery/ quiet baby station! I would give 10 starts for that. Thank you for thinking of that. Lots of walking- make sure you have your most comfortable shoes on!

It was my first time there and I really enjoyed it. I recommend going during the week for shorter lines. The food options were amazing. The only downside is that the Orca exhibit was closed. I would definitely visit again. 9.5/10

First, thank you Sea World for four FREE tickets. All veterans can receive this! Shout out to wifey for finding this great value. Went with family, teen and 3 years old. They enjoyed. Lines moved quickly and staff was cool.Now for other considerations. Do not come to Orlando for peaceful & relaxing vibes. More like family fun. Traffic is terrible. It took over an hour to go 2.7 miles. It’s worth the $90 to pay for VIP parking, especially if you have elders or kids (you park in first two rows). Everyone is in a rush and rude. Bring your compensation.

SeaWorld was such a fun experience! I got to ride three different types of roller coasters—a standard seated coaster, a stand-up coaster, and the wildest one: a flying coaster where you’re suspended face-down like you’re kneeling in the sky. That flying one was by far the most thrilling! The stand-up coaster came second—it felt really unique. Honestly, the regular seated one felt the least intense, almost like a warm-up ride. There were tons of live shows, and the orca show was definitely the best—so impressive and powerful to watch! The dolphin show was also fun and energetic. One of the coolest parts was going into an ice cave to see penguins up close. I’ve never been that close to penguins before—it was freezing but totally worth it! And I even got to feed stingrays! Some of them felt super smooth, like silk or jelly, and others felt like they had tiny underwater pimples—each one had a different texture. Super cool experience. Highly recommend getting there early and spending the whole day—there’s so much to see and do, from adrenaline rides to amazing animal encounters. A perfect combo of fun, excitement, and a little bit of penguin-induced joy.

In Orlando, Sea World ranks a comfortable third in the amusement park rankings. You can make an argument about which park is king in Orlando but I don't think Sea World would ever get past #3. It is like comparing the Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli will never be surpassed by Cooper when talking about football. Never. So if you keep that in mind, visiting Sea World can be very pleasant. And by no means is Sea World "less than", far from it. It all just depends on what you are wanting from your amusement park visit. What do you want - big name exposure, adrenaline inducing rides, kid-friendly entertainment, nostalgia trips, culinary delights, etc. - it all depends on what you want and what you are willing to pay (keep that in mind). The amusement park wars are alive and well in Orlando, with the parks constantly vying for your interest (and your dollars) and Sea World isn't shy about wading into the thick of it, even against big name brands like Disney and Universal. And that is the thing that Sea World has against them - they don't have big tent pole interest like Mickey Mouse or Jurassic Park. No, they have Sesame Street. But if you compare Epcot's Find Nemo aquariums to Sea World's aquariums - Disney's efforts in that arena become laughable at best. What they do have in their corner that the other parks don't though is a great aquarium environment with some pretty neat animals and a cheaper, more accessible atmosphere. And that is why my family, from time to time, will take a break from the other parks and enjoy Sea World. There is plenty to do to spend a whole day at the parks. The food can be good if you know where to look (we especially enjoy their yearly food festival), the rides are fun and exciting, and the animal shows are fun. The ticket price is usually more friendly on your wallet as well. So is it #1? No, and you should never think it will be. Is it a comfortable #3? Absolutely. And just like Cooper Manning, probably doesn't worry too much about it.

While this place definitely has a bad rap for keeping their animals in cages and tanks review is based solely on the rides and attractions as well as how much fun I had here! The parking lot is pretty massive and they have multiple options that you can pay more for premium parking which is slightly closer. In my opinion it's not worth the extra money but for somebody with children it might be. The staff here is extremely friendly and got all of my situations and concerns sorted out very quick when it came to needing something from them! The rides here are phenomenal and they continue to make more rides every couple years, it's amazing! One of my favorite rides is the new surf style roller coaster where you stand up as if you are surfing on a wave! The amount of airtime you get is exceptional and you get a nice little ride for the amount of time you were in the queue in my opinion. Food here is very basic and we decided to get some food to nibble on because a lot of it is extremely overpriced. They do have a soda cup that you can pay a one-time charge and get free refills throughout the day and that definitely is one of the best things they have to offer here. I definitely love their shows, especially the Shamu show where if you were sitting close you will get absolutely soaked in certain rows The one thing I wish that they had here was some more shade because I felt like I was going to die of heat exhaustion because I could not find much shade. I love their Sesame Street area and one of the coolest things about this area is it is autism friendly so everything is slightly quieter and sensory friendly

My husband and I attended on a Saturday. Super hot and super crowded. We purchased our tickets online prior and admission was simple. Went to get our photo key from the young gentleman from Haiti with the German name. Very polite and quickly got us our key. We had our photo taken and made our way through the park. We had some time to spare before our dolphin encounter so we enjoyed the flamingos stingrays and manatees. As we went back to do our encounter we were hit by a torrential downpour. We took shelter in a cave for an hour and made it back to the dolphin encounter. The young lady at the booth near the beginning told me that due to weather it was closed but that we should come back in 30 min. We went to find a bathroom, and we were back in 15. We checked in and a male employee said oh sorry we just took the last group for the day and closed his stand and walked off. Uh ok. Thankfully a young lady named Lauryn told us how to obtain a new pass for a dolphin pass the next day so we went to see about food. What we ate was not to great. 45 dollars for chicken fingers, fries, a hot dog and 2 drinks. And the bun was hard. So we ate it anyways bc we stood in line for 25 min and yeah. We next went and saw the sea lions and they were really cool. Kudos to the team that did the sea lion and otter show. It was entertaining and fun to watch. Wanted to watch the Orca show but the times were spaced at intervals that made it impossible to do so. So since we were coming thru the next day we put it on our 2 do list. We left the park and returned back today. Purchased more tickets to the park before we got there. The young guy at the gate was swift in getting the line thru. Went straight to the dolphin encounter. This was really nice. Our trainers name was Chris. He was very knowledgeable w every question we asked. He loved his job working w the dolphins. He deserves praise as does Casey. She loves what she does also. This makes a huge difference in guest and animal interaction. Casey gave us a lot of valuable info pertaining to the animals. Sarah took our pics and set up our photo key. Very personable and just an overall great attitude amongst the dolphin staff. Pros: number one is the dolphins and their trainers. Number 2 is the overall park layout. Very clean w plenty of pretty trees and flowers. Number 3 has to be the animals in general. They're amazing creatures truly. Cons: the food. It's just basic. Maybe sell some fresh fruit and juices also. Number 2...the crowds. It'd be different if everyone was working w a full set but my god practice manners. If there are 0 people in ur group u don't need to form a line across the walkway...maybe get ur face out of ur phone for 5 seconds and for god sake ur surrounded by animals why are u looking up at the air like u short circuited. Also control ur kids please. Yes they get away but one little girl today took off and was just wandering for like 5 min and then face planted. I don't wanna trip over ur kid. Number 3 is the restrooms. Now one room was very decent. The next looked like the apocalypse occurred. And only saw one lady cleaning and restocking in any bathroom over 2 days. I would recommend and I would return. But it would be on a day w far less people. Oh yes Antarctica artic are is very nice and cool. And we didn't get to see the orcas at all period.

Sea World had to be a place to visit when my daughter was little. It's also a place where a lot of Florida Public School Students go for trips. One I can remember was with the middle school band! Truthfully it's four stars because I love the Dolphins. If I had my choice of parks to visit currently this wouldn't be on my list. It's definitely a learning experience. I'm recommending you take the kids at least once. Just be careful the time of year. You may be overrun by public school field trips!!

Great Kool & The Gang concert!! Adorable venue!!! Great staff guiding you along!! I loved the girls working at the orca pools. Very educational . Everything they shared was a thrill. I didn't know what to expect but it made a huge impression on me. I'm grateful they care so much about what they do. I never thought I would ever see any of these in my lifetime. I loved it. Walruses were wonderful, orca , beluga whale.... Etc. I loved my time here.

OK this is 2.5 stars. The shows are great. I got the platinum pass so they have reserved seating which I thought would be great. But right as the show starts all the poors are able to join and make it miserable. None of the rides have the right times which is garbage too. I've also never vomited in a bathroom before but that urinal (this was at 11am) made my eyes water with the ammonia and piss swill. Improvements are totally needed here to ensure a decent guest experience. 15 minute wait shouldn't be 60 minutes and the sign still say 15 minutes. The concerts are great though and they actually get a few decent named bands. The sound was great too. So it's just hit or miss with more miss than hits

Wonderful place. We went at the busiest time (Xmas) but it never felt overcrowded. The shows are fun. The exhibits are great! We had so much fun!

Seaworld has always been a family favorite! I used to work here in my teen years & have always loved the park. I'm so impressed with how much it's changed, adding numerous of roller coasters & constantly upgrading its attractions. We enjoy the events held all year around with the Seven Sea food & drink festival & Spooktacular being our favorites!

I've been coming to SeaWorld for years because it's relatively inexpensive compared to the other parks. Honestly, with all the monthly perks they give you, it's worth the price to be a passholder. Sometimes I come with my friends that have kids and I would say that if you have a young child, the Sesame Street land is where it is at! Despite the public backlash, they do take really good care of their animals. I love doing the behind the scenes tours and visiting the animals on other days. Recently, there is a new baby penguin! They have also scaled back on animal shows and focused on adding more rides to the park. They have two newer rollercoasters that I have yet to try (Pipeline and Ice Breaker). I typically attend for their food and drink festivals (think discount Epcot Food and Wine). It's honestly a good deal when you get the lanyard- I would never by a sample at full price. However, last time my group and I were there, over two days of visiting in December- the booths were out of many items. Even simple items like soup or hot cocoa! It was hard to use my lanyard up on items I wanted. Overall, this park tends to be less busy and easier to navigate than others. Just know that it may be worth the visit but the quality of service does makes sense why it's affordable.

Came today to use my AP free Seven Seas Food Festival sample. Tried the smoked lamb rib at the Polynesian Market. The rib had good flavor but the one I ate had lots of fat. The slaw did not have a lot of flavor.

It went well. No real complaints. Since the last time I visited a lot has changed. More rides. Amazing food options. Full bar as well. Maybe it was the time of year but it was not very full and had no more than 25 min wait times. All of the shows were very entertaining. I had a great time!

Seaworld is fun for like one day. We've had annual passes twice... in 2006 and again in 2021. In 2006 we went three times and in 2021 we went twice. I'm going to remember in the future not to buy Seaworld annual passes again. I do think it's great to go once every few years or maybe once every 5-10 years (LOL), but I'm just not into aquatic animals all that much and it's not something I want to do on a regular basis. What is cool: The penguins. I could sit for hours and just watch the penguins. I love them! One of these blue moons I'm actually going to do the Penguin encounter (which isn't all that expensive). It's on my bucket list. The dolphin show. The whale show. The shark aquarium The stingrays They baby dolphins nursery The coasters are truly awesome! What is not-so cool: Most of the food in the Park is not all that great. Most of the employees have frowns and seem to hate their jobs. The park is often dirty. Lots of trash on the ground. It's incredibly easy to buy a refillable cup, but nearly impossible to find a place to refill it throughout the day. When you do find a place for a refill it's usually a really, really long wait. As for snacks, most "huts" are closed and there's a good 20+ plus wait in line just to get popcorn, churro, etc. Ridiculous. I find myself more annoyed when I'm here than having fun. If you're visiting Orlando, you may want to skip Seaworld unless you are just obsessed with aquatic animals. Wheelchair friendly and service dog friendly.

We are new annual pass holders for SeaWorld. I've been twice so far and have really enjoyed it. I don't like rides because I have bad motion sickness but this park has sooo much more to offer than rides which is why I love it. The park is big but also manageable. I really enjoy the shows and absolutely loved the seven seas food festival. I've heard from friends that the concerts are great too but I haven't been to any yet! Overall great time at SeaWorld and I'm looking forward to going back soon!

On top of never letting the public see the orcas in the underwater viewing area, they just fired Lynn The Mime because some security guard started some BS with him and filed a false report. They just fired him without calling him to HR to hear his side of the story. Look it up ! 36 years with the company and that's how they treat him ? Screw this place

There's so little to say about this underwhelming "amusement" experience. First things first, parking is more expensive than Walt Disney World, $37 + tax we ended up paying $39.41. We proceeded to purchase the refillable cup for $24.99 and although the refill fee was free due to the promotion they were offering they still charged me the $6.99 for all day refill. Additionally, we noticed that they charge a 5% surcharge to every single purchase, no matter what. When we asked an employee what was the surcharge for they stated it was a "shipping and supply" fee. On top of that at certain locations they ask for the tip. Many of the refill stations had no ice, for example, the first one we went to at 11:30a had no ice! And the park was only open for 2hrs if at that. We rented a stroller for $50 + tax + surcharge for a stroller that the visor is suppose to protect the child from the Florida sun but unfortunately it didn't fully extend. It seemed that the visor at one point in time actually would stay extended. We checked the other strollers and they were all the same. All the strollers were dirty and in pretty bad shape. The prices of the food for the quality of food was ridiculous! We ate at Voyager's Smokehouse which is a bbq fast food restaurant and their chicken was undercooked. When I took it back and showed them I was told that's how smoked chicken looks like, the chef didn't even bother to look and kept walking, which my response was I still want my chicken to be cooked more. One of the other employees said "I wouldn't even eat it like that." The employee was annoyed with my request and the ketchup and napkin dispensers were empty. The women bathroom located in the restaurant 1 out of the 3 sinks worked the others were out of order. I went to Guest Services at 7pm and there were only 2 employees working and the line was long. It's great if they are really for conservation efforts which is the reason for my one star rating. Other than that there is nothing more positive to say about this experience. They have a lot of room for improvement.

We went here for one day on a Monday during Martin Luther King Jr Day. The park hours did change from 9am to 7pm, so they closed one hour earlier. But the good news is the park was not busy that day. The rides that do get busy is Manta (flying Coaster) and Surfing Coaster. Seaworld is doing some construction so some parts of the park is hard to navigate and found myself getting very lost and even if you follow the signs, sometimes it redirects you somewhere else. You do have to cross a bridge to get to the other side and it is in a semi circle to get to ice breaker the ride. They have a roadblock near the surfing coaster to get to the Shamu show. That is currently closed. Journey to Atlantis is down and doing some work. They are building the new ride, the Penguin ride. I did not do some of the shows as we were focused on the rides. I think if I had another day, I probably would watch some of the shows. I watched the sealion show which is similar to the one in San Diego. I did not see the Dolphin Show. The Shamu show as mentioned was closed and only doing a trainer. We did do an inside access which they walk you inside the building and they show you on top of the aquarium which was neat, but I would not do all of them. I think out of the exhibits, I would visit the Penguins as you are not behind the glass, but you get a chance to see them up and person that is why the line is so long. I visited the Shark Encounter, but it was a typical one that I have visited and was not amazed. I did not have a chance to do the sealions one. Rides 1. Skytower - if you are not a pass holder, you have to pay 6 dollars 2. Flamingo Boats - you have to pay for this, maybe if it was not raining, I would have tried it 3. Mako - definitely a reridable ride. They let us do rerides if there is no one in the row. I rode this one 10 times while I was there and my favorite 4. Kraken - this one needs to go as this one was very rough and shaky as we sat in both the front and middle. It was cool going through the tunnels, but that was it 5. Manta - flying coaster was fun and cool. I am not too much of a fan of flying coasters, but line does get really long as the loading does take awhile. I would ride on an empty stomach. 6. Ice Breaker - good family coaster, I rode this 3 times and was not too bad 7. Infinity Falls - definitely a good ride, but your shoes will get wet. I got to ride this 3 times and had a blast. Still not my favorite one, I like the one at Silver Dollar City better Food - We did an all dining pass and was able to get 5 meals. I like the bbq place near the front. I did like the steak near Infinity Falls. Overall, I had a great time here and would come back here. I think I needed a 2nd day to experience everything

As a theme park connoisseur, I was excited to experience SeaWorld for the first time and ready to become a fan! Unfortunately, it was not the best experience. Whoever trained the staff failed them desperately. Each ride apparently has a different parent swap process, so we were forced to ask staff about it every time. We got a wide range of responses, ranging from fairly helpful to literal pointing and grunting. We signed up for the special food plan, which price wise was a great deal, but a lot of the food was sadly meh. The Sesame Street area was super charming, but there was only one ride we could take our nine-month-old on. We were pretty surprised at the ambitious height restrictions for most of the rides. It seems like a kid area should have more rides for the whole family? Loved the penguins though! Overall, it seems like SeaWorld needs some big improvements to compete with Universal and Disney.

It's been a while since we last came here but we really don't see anything out of the ordinary for this park. The shows are cute and adorable but if you're not a huge fan of big rides like roller coaster then this park isn't for you. Definitely worth the try though but for someone who does not like riding big rides this park is mainly 95% big rides and the rest is the shows, food and stores. I don't think it's worth paying the price if you won't actually do 100% of the park including the rides. The service, ambience its self is great though.

Enjoyed my short visit to Seaworld Orlando. I visited the park from 5 pm to 9pm on a Thursday near end of July. It is also predicted 60% chance of rain. This helped me avoid long lines & crowded shows. 4 hours is not enough time to really see a lot of the park, but enough to get a taste. I saw 1.5 shows & rode 1 roller coaster. The orca encounter ended early due to weather. Sea lion & otter show was super cute. Rode the mako roller coaster & thought I was gonna die haha. If you're going to watch the shows, I waited 30 min before it started to secure a good seat. I only waited 5 min for the Mako roller coaster ride & checked Seaworld app for the others. Most roller coasters closed due to lightening/weather. I saw some of the animals but not as much as I would like to... kinda disappointed I didn't see more but at the same time It is very HOT during summer, so I think it helped from not getting too tired or overheated by just going for a few hours. My friend that came with me was drenched in sweat while I had nice glow. Also, if you are coming in summer, as a safety precaution for everyone they will shut down rides & shows due to weather. Summer has severe lightening and rain thunderstorms; this is not the park's fault if they close attractions until weather subsides as it is for everyone's safety. I think if you want to see the aquarium & a few shows plus 2 to 3 roller coasters then 6/7 hours is plenty if you're trying to do it in one day. If you would like to comfortably see the whole park & explore at your own pace, 2 days is great. It's not a huge park thankfully; just a lot to see. Below just some park info if you're curious what they have & how much some things cost: Seaworld is a controversial theme park given its history as being known for animal entertainment, but it is shifting its shows to being more educational & humane. you can still see their famous dolphin & orca shows. There is also a sea lion and otter show. You can see sharks, flamingos, gators, penguins, and more. Tickets: There are promos on website. I did the military appreciation promo. Parking : Vip - pricing unsure Preferred- $50 General - $30 (Prices subject to change & not included in ticket unless you bought a package) Lockers for roller coasters $3 for 2 hours. $10 for transferable one. Food is of course overpriced as expected at a theme park. You're allowed to bring one bottle of water each person into the park.

I do recommend coming here but just be aware that there is no cash. You do have to use cards or apple/google pay. If you're going to be here for a long time I do suggest to get a souvenir cup for free refills. But I wish they would do cut off times for rainy days so you're not wasting your money and only get a two hour stay. They have a lot of different things to do. The little kids definitely will have a good time in Sesame Street. Beware of rental prices for strollers. They are the most ridiculous prices I have ever seen at a park. Make sure to buy that $20 stroller from Walmart, because here it's almost $60!

We went there on Saturday with the Family for my granddaughter to have her birthday. Went to customer service and waited forever to get any response. They didn't fix the issue with the passes but they did get us in. There was no employees for any information did you get. When we went to eat, the table was very dirty and the highchair my granddaughter had food in it. When I asked the employee to clean it out, he said the spray and the wipes are right there sea world has gone downhill so fast

My family and I visited SeaWorld Orlando for a full day during our trip in Mid-February. SeaWorld is a popular marine park located in Orlando, Florida. It originally opened in 1973. SeaWorld Orlando offers a wide range of rides for all ages. Some of the popular rides include the Mako, Kraken, and Journey to Atlantis. The Mako is a hypercoaster than can reach up to speeds of 73 miles per hour! It features several airtime hills. The Kraken is a floorless coaster that includes a vertical loop and a cobra roll. The Journey to Atlantis, one of my favorites, is a water coaster that takes riders on a journey through ancient ruins and ends with a splashdown. It's very similar to Splash Mountain at Disney World. If you're not into the thrill rides, there are a variety of other attractions. The park is home to dolphins, sea lions, penguins, sharks, and other creatures. There are several aquariums and exhibits where visitors can learn about these animals and their habitats. One of my favorites was the shark exhibit. Sea World has a lot of shows! The park is known for their Sea Lion, Orca, and Dolphin shows. They're very educational. There is also a wide range of restaurants. Some dining options include Sharks Underwater Grill, Spice Mill, and Seafire Grill. We ended up eating at the Lakeside Grill at Sea World. If you purchase your tickets online, you can find some great deals. Single tickets, with deals can range up to $89.99. You can also purchase an All-Day Dining deal. The annual passes are pretty cheap. The blockout dates are limited and may be worth it if you plan on visiting SeaWorld often.

What a hot day this was, but the Seven Seas food festival was great . We decided to get the lanyard which has 18 punches . Me and my husband shared the lanyard and we still left 5 available punches. We stopped at Mexico, Gulf Coast, , Asia , Mediterranean, North Atlantic, & Coaster Cocktails. We will be back for Cinco De Mayo wknd and try some other places and also enjoy a concert. We'll try to go later in the day when it's a little cooler. The customer service was great , some of the stops had longer wait time than others like the coaster cocktails and Mexico. Some workers were doing multiple places that were right next to each other. Overall it was great, I always enjoy Seaworld when we go.

My family got annual passes to SeaWorld last year, and this is the first park we've ever had annual passes for. The park has really exceeded our expectations and has been an amazing value so far. We probably visit twice a month, and every time we go, there's something new to discover. You'd think we would have run out of things to do, but it's impossible. I have a toddler, and this has been such a blessing and at the top of her list of things to do. It's really easy to go with a toddler. As a gold member, I have free preferred parking, which is a 5 minute walk from the gate - a must with a stroller. All the aquariums are air conditioned, which is absolutely crucial when you need to get out of the heat, and the animals are my kid's favorite thing to do and see. She also loves the rides at Sesame Street, and if you go on the weekdays there is rarely ever a line. In the summer, we go in the mornings from park open to about noon because it gets so hot. Then it's a short walk back to the car for naptime. Seaworld has also been great for date nights. That's when we get to ride all the roller coasters and enjoy all the late night experiences like concerts and fireworks. So the concert lineup isn't as great as Universal, but the passes are half the price, and this year we got to see some of the former *NSYNC members... can't be mad about that. I recommend Seaworld to seriously anyone who will listen. I try to talk everyone into getting passes. At first I thought the whole Shamu and orcas thing would bother me, and honestly, it still kind of does. Seaworld doesn't have a great history with animal welfare. But after being a member, I've really gotten to see how much they do for marine conservation and how many animals they rescue and rehabilitate, and it's not so bad. And let's be real, not everyone can afford the other parks for a family of 3. I love everything they do for the pass holders, the free beer, $10 spending vouchers, free perks, bonus guest tickets, all of it. There's no other park like it!

We had tons of fun today. We stayed from morning till they closed yep! What made the experience better is we bought the meal plan: every 2 hrs get a meal from one of their restaurants. We went there right when they open and stayed till they closed. It's not only for making our money worthy but also because there are so many activities. Highly recommend watching the dolphin show and walrus show. It's so adorable and funny, Be aware you will get wet in the walrus show if you seat on the first 5 rows.

New Surf coaster at Seaworld you must try ! The team are friendly and everyone scream and have a good time at the new Pipeline Surf coaster! Try it you self and you will like the new experience at Seaworld!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our visit to SeaWorld Orlando. The Mako ride stood out as our favorite coaster ride and the new Pipeline ride was was a unique and fun experience, especially when we got to ride in the first row. The Orca Encounter was exciting, but we fondly remember when trainers used to ride on the whale's back, adding an extra layer of excitement. The Sea Lions were especially lively and we loved getting to feed them!While the water rides had lengthy lines and we had to skip those, we had plenty of other ride options. Overall, it was a great day filled with memorable experiences for the entire family.

Yesterday my partner and I stopped in to Sea World for a couple of hours. About last week we got a annual pass on their Black Friday deal- Sea World had a deal where normally the annual passes per year or $263; they brought that fee down to what you pay per month- Which is $22 per month. So the deal was you didn't have to pay the 263 down payment all you had to pay was the $22. I absolutely love Sea World but I'm gonna tell you why. From the extensive food opportunities, to the refillable mugs; from the Christmas events are there currently having now Sea World is my favorite park for conservation. I have not been in two years and wow a lot of things have changed; they have a brand new coaster called the surf coaster- they have part of Antarctica section closed because they're currently working on their penguin coaster which I honestly can't wait for. They also have a whole bunch of photo opportunities with different characters on stilts as well as a really cute Rudolph section with the snowman and you can take a photo with him as well. They have numerous options to eat not only do they have American, but they have Mexican and other cuisines as well. However my favorite part of all of Sea World is getting to know the employees and the trainers and how they teach the animals. We talked to a very nice girl her name was Emma she was in the Manatee section and she told us the most expensive animal on property is the manatees for how much lettuce they eat. I never knew that that was a really cool fact! She also mentioned Sea World produces all the lettuce that the manatees eat at the park. My other favorite part of SeaWorld is going to be the touch tank with mantas and sharks now! I absolutely also love how you can feed the mantis for seven dollars with an annual pass you get a little basket of fishy that you can feed the mantas away; you could also feed the sea lions and that is honestly my favorite thing to do. However I did notice two new things in SeaWorld that I have not seen in Universal or any of the Disney parks. Right next to one of the main bathrooms right off of the guest relations area when you walk into SeaWorld is something called a pharm box- inside this contraption was a whole bunch of pharmaceutical necessities such as Advil, namebrand tampons and pads, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, flossers etc. you name it. Not only did the pharm box take card it also took cash. The other thing that I notice inside the park next to the guest relations desk was a little machine this machine had a white background and it basically was if you had cash either international or American you can transfer it to a card that you can use in the park I thought that was one of the coolest things! If you haven't been to Seaworld I highly recommend it it is a great park from their shows, to their add-ons that you can add on your ticket to feeding the animals and lastly for the Christmas holiday spectacular- I highly recommend this park; and you should definitely go! 10/10

Absolutely absolutely absolutely love SeaWorld. I know there are plenty of losers out there whining about whatever social Justice cause is the flavor of the week especially regarding the Orcas! It is magnificent watching these Orcas swim in synchrony, as well as the Dolphins! The trainers clearly express an magnitude of love and respect for these animals like you would your dog and cat! Seeing your little one in awe and wowing and clapping and jumping yelling for more is worth it all. We were almost disappointed because we sat in the "soak zone" and we didn't get immediately wet.. until one of the orcas raised its tail and splashed down right in our direction! She was so thrilled! They also have sea lions, alligators, mantees among so much more! SeaWorld is probably one of my favorite places in the world to go to.

SeaWorld is so much fun. They have great shows and attractions and they have really upgraded their roller coaster game. My two favorites are Manta and Mako. Manta you are in a flying position and Mako you catch air very often throughout the ride.

Lynn the mime was awesome but the security guard was a nightmare to deal with. Seaworld corporate office is a joke !

We felt like these animals looked sad and possibly abused! The trainers flat out told lies about living longer in captivity, a simple google search proves that to be wrong!! Very disappointing to also find out they don't rescue most of the sea life they sell it off to parks in other countries!! Another search showed us that dolphins and orcas swim about a 100 miles a day omg!! And here in captivity they have to use sunscreen!! I shall never return!!

If you like waiting in lines this place is for you! The all day dining is ok... but you're limited to a few places... all of which have long lines. The food prep people operate at a snails pace.. i'm just noticing that if your in a theme park you've already paid and there are no other options. Therefore there is no need to serve quickly etc... watch a good documentary on a large screen at home. Order in food... get it catered... it will be cheaper and more enjoyable.

The CS helped me double charge my card. She assured me if i upgrade my tickets to Platinum pass I will get my complete refund. So I authorized her to charge my CC for the Platinum upgrade. Days later I called CS and the agent says there was no notes for refund they won't be able to do anything. Had to call my bank for despute the charge. So moral lesson don't trust what the CS agent says basically they just want the commission they don't care if they screwed you over. Also we wanted to swim with the dolphins the same lady booked us the wrong package. I was willing to let it go but plus this inconvenience, it's a nightmare! Basically Seaworld allowed this to happen I asked to be transferred to Manager I was just put on hold forever. SO BEWARE buy your ticket at the gate or don't believe what they inform you over the phone, the CS is a call center that is not well informed of the product lack of training.

SeaWorld was really fun! Not only do they have sea life animal exhibits and shows, but also some cool roller coaster rides. There were about 4 roller coasters that are for thrill seekers. The Manta ride is where you are in the superman prone position going through loops. The Mako ride is a fun roller coaster where there are several ups and downs so you get to feel the zero g's a few times. The Surfing roller coaster is the coolest coaster, where you are riding in a standing position. You are still be supported be a "seat" between you legs and a shoulder harness. A few of the ups/downs where you could be lifted off your feel, really thrilling. The roller coasters are included with admission. If you go during peak times, the wait may be long for these lines to ride the coasters. I was really happy to see the manatees, beluga whales, orcas, and walruses. These are animals I don't get to see where I'm from. I get that most people say Seaworld is bad for the animals keeping them in a prison. From what I can see with my limited animal experience, they seem to be well taken care of. Also, Seaworld does say that a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales. We did the Rescue Tour (additional cost), so we were able to see the research facilities, medical facilities, and rehab facilities that help the animals. Seaworld also takes part of animal rescues, such as turtles, manatees, dolphins, birds, etc. During the rescue tour, we were able to see the boats and the big truck vehicle used to transport the animal, like an ambulance. We spent 1 day at the park, it was just enough. I would have liked to have an extra couple of hours to see more. If I could foretell the future, I would have avoided the sea lion / otter show. Their show was a little on the mediocre side, I've seen better shows/training. The orca show was really cool to see from underwater. The dolphin show was fun. But if you had been to other parks, this one wasn't anything special. The food was expensive here. I spent the whole day at the park, had looked at the restaurant menus and did not see anything worth eating with the price they were charging. So we just made do with a snack bar and waited until closing to go find somewhere else to eat. At least you're allowed to bring snacks into the park. So I won't dock them on their rating for the expensive food.

SeaWorld as an adult is quite different than as a kid, but still equally impressive. I was grateful to be able to share the experience with my daughter and watch her face light up at every new experience. She got to feed the mantas, the sea lions, watch the shows and she was excited through the entire day. I do miss the trainers being able to swim with the orcas since it gave the show a whole different feel, but completely understand as to why it all changed. I am conflicted about it in general given all the information we have today regarding the animals being in captivity, but that's not for this review. We didn't get a chance to see Sesame Place, but it looked really cute! I will have to take our son there next time we visit. The coasters were a lot of fun for me even though my daughter wasn't tall enough to go on all of them. The lines were bearable for August, the heat wasn't as bearable, but we survived. I can't speak much for the food, it was basic and there weren't many vegetarian options beyond your basic pizza, pretzels, etc. Looking forward to coming back with both kids during a cooler month for sure!

So much to do here! Buy online versus at the gate for a significant discount. They had $30 all day dining (normally $50). It was definitely worth it as we ate lunch and dinner there. There isn't a breakfast option but you can go to the panini shop before 11am for a sandwich. The paninis were pretty good! We loved the dolphin show! It was so cute to see how excited my two year old was. We went on Columbus Day and it wasn't overly crowded. That said, the orca show was at full capacity so we missed that one. It was disappointing. At the end of the night is the best time to do rollercoasters as there was no way. I really enjoyed the manta roller coaster! We saw beluga whales, sharks, string rays, turtles, flamingos, and many more sea life. If you want to go at your own pace, a 2 day pass would be perfect. Otherwise, you definitely won't get everything done in one day.

Came for the day and had an amazing time. Loved the penguins, turtles and especially the dolphin show. Decided to have lunch at The Bar and Sharks Underwater Grill. Ordered the sliders and they were very good. Lunch was a little expensive but it was the atmosphere you were paying for and I loved it. Very cool having lunch watching all the sharks and different fish swimming around, it really feels like you under water. There is so much to see here and everything is so clean and the staff was friendly. Overall a wonderful day

As a roller coasters enthusiast, I greatly enjoy the ride line up that SeaWorld offers. However, I will never be returning to SeaWorld Orlando and would advise nobody else to waste their money to go. I waited over 40 mins for food, which was simply a hotdog. Keep in mind the line was fewer than 4 parties long. Keeping on the subject of operations, never in my life have I seen roller coaster operations so slow. On multiple attractions it took 5 plus mins for a single attraction to dispatch. Employees are rude or simply don't care which is greatly irritating for the prices you pay. Along with the issues of animal rights, this place is simply a terrible place experience and waste of money.

Although it rained nearly all day we still enjoyed our Sea World experience and made the best of it. Lines were nearly non-existent and we weee able to get up close to the exhibits for an extended period of time. The park closed early (at 6) due the rain but I was grateful they provided us the Rainy Day guarantee comp tickets, parking comp and evening the dining plan comps good for 1 year. We are looking forward to experiencing the whole park in better weather!

I would not pay regular prices to visit. The girl entertaining the audience before the dolphin show was awful, so loud we had to leave. Why must we be blasted with music the entire day while we walk around? Overall a good day but not rushing back.

Sea world was genuinely the worst theme park experience I have ever had. My family "rope dropped" and went straight to mako. We were the first riders of the day, and the workers seemed like they didn't care at all. They were just letting people walk onto the ride, no organization or instruction at all. This felt very unsettling and very unsafe. Secondly, eating at sea world is an absolute nightmare. My family opted to not get the dining plan because we only planned to eat one meal in the park. The wait times for all of the restaurants were consistently 1hr+ between the hours of 12-3pm. This would make it very challenging for those who got the mean plan to eat every 90 minutes. Lastly, there is absolutely no organization. Wait times were consistently incorrect. For every ride we waited 20 mins+ longer than the posted wait time. Granted they only had one ride vehicle running at a time. There are no workers instructing guests where to go/what numbers to get in. This caused extreme disorganization. Guests were cutting in line causing frustration and increasing wait times. Another concern was that sea world workers were letting children onto rides that did not meet the height requirements (another result of no workers instructing guests were to go and ensuring that guests are meeting the height requirements). This is EXTREMELY unsafe and if anything were to happen to those children sea world would face even worse consequences. It truly felt like sea world is phoning it in. It was not a good experience at all. We left 3 hours before closing. If you are going to go do not have high expectations. Save your money and go to universal or disney.

Seaworld has always been fun ! It's not usually that packed when we go ! The best time is to go during the weekdays . I was told to watch Blackfish and I didn't until after my visit . Honestly not sure if I would go back now but I still enjoyed my visit.

Had a great time, loved the shows, park is clean and very pretty. We may get an annual pass in the fall, went this time with a free ticket from a friend. We'll get the pass that covers parking, I think it was $30 just for the parking My complaint is that a lot of the restaurants are closed during the week so lines were out the door for the ones open. (You'd think during spring break they'd have everything open). Ended up getting a Luke warm hot dog for $14 plus tax and 5% surcharge plus a soda and small bag of Cheetos for an an additional $7.00 plus tax and 5% surcharge. My friend got a soda and we shared all the food. So between the ridiculous prices we paid over $30 for a skinny long hot dog, 2 medium size fountain drinks, and a small bag of crunchy Cheetos. If we could have gotten into the BBQ place and shared a chicken meal, I think we would have been more content. Do away with the surcharge on everything, it's irritating!! Just increase the price. Love seeing all the sealife. I adore the penguins, the shows are entertaining and educational.

My 2nd visit to SeaWorld but not since 1993 so a lot has changed. Most notably to me is all the rollercoasters I don't remember any of these my prior trip. We mainly wanted to watch the animal encounters started w Orcas. It is a big build up w the lower 15 row seats saying Splash zone. I didn't want to be splashed in cool weather but got me excited to see these massive whales. The show involves these orca swimming in tandem, jumping, poising for cameras, eating, and taking visual cues from audience. The biggest splash was about 3 rows up, false advertising. The show was about 10-15 minutes. We rode all the coasters except Manta & the tallest one my wife refused to go on. The lines were basically empty not worth purchasing speed pass on a Friday. My favorite was Journey to Atlantis, water ride kind of like a splash mtn w included short on-rails coaster at end through dark tunnel. We hit up the Panini stand for lunch, good price large portion. There was a cool restaurant near this stand where could dine beside giant fish tank spanning entire dining room but we passed. The line for the penguins was bit longer than cared to wait so missed out. The sea Lion enclosure was loud and entertaining w the birds trying to steal fish feeding. The combination of sea animals and coasters plus fact this park was cheapest amongst Universal & Disney makes it return trip. The solely dedicated water park is next door we missed to visit.

This is still a family favorite for sure but after seeing all the price hikes, long waits, and just frankly poor customer service it's just not what it used to be. However, if you can get it at a discount rate or half off I would say it's a decent way to spend the day if you go early. They are just having a hard time with quality of employees and training. It feels like I waited in line pretty much half the day whether it be food or attractions.

Adults only trip for perspective. Feels outdated and delapidated. Many of the exhibits closed and you don't see much sea life or animals. Employees are not friendly or knowledgeable. Food service is expensive and very slow. Nickel and dime everywhere...want to go on a coaster, $2 for a locker you must use if you brought anything. Lame. Ended up spending about 4 hours there while we spend a full 12 hours at Epcot for a little more money. We went 10 years ago with our teenage kids and enjoyed it, but it's really gone downhill.

We enjoy sea world! Sometimes the parking is quick.. other times it has taken sooo long. We actually had to park across the street and walk and it was terrible! They had us go over there. I guess they thought it was going to be full so they routed us to overflow parking. I would NOT recommend all day dining. I'm so disappointed over that. The lines were so slow. Everyone was so irritated, they had one side open and the line was not moving. We ended up not redeeming our certificate that we bought. Apparently you can order food on the app but NOT for all day dining. I do recommend the refillable cup And popcorn bucket. Those are the best. The kids can refill with water for free or pay for a slurpee refill. Popcorn bucket refills, they tell you to just get the bag of popcorn. So that works great to snack on. The Elmo area is cute with things to do for the little ones. We go here frequently and have seen the different shows.

We visited SeaWorld during the weekday, right when they open so that we didn't have to deal with crowds or line ups. We also got lucky with the weather because it was mostly overcast and comfortable while we walked around SeaWorld. There were lots of kids from field trips the day we visited, but it wasn't so bad. It still wasn't crowded at all or anything on a Tuesday morning. The shows were fantastic!! We watched the dolphins, orca and sea lion/otter live show. It was so fun to watch and not sit on a soak zone. Haha. I definitely didn't want to be splashed while trying to take photos with my phone! But I'm sure kids wouldn't have mind that, haha. I'm happy I got to visit the SeaWorld as I had a wonderful experience. All their washrooms seem to be maintained very well, too! The only thing is that some staff here doesn't seem to be happy with their jobs.

Mary Lou was an excellent tour guide for both the belugas and sharks up close tours today. I appreciate her patience and extra time she took with our groups. Thanks so much for an excellent experience for me and my bestie boo today. As always an Exceptional visit and so blessed to be able to participate. Also huge shout out to Steven in the character drawings for ending our day on such in such a special keepsake and being super funsies.
