So beautiful around the holiday time and love the choices of food. Most attractions were child friendly but the shows more than made up for it. Can no longer feed the dolphins unless you pay for an experience which saddened me but overall the family had a great time! Loved the new Rudolph experience.
Great one day excursion in Orlando. Rides are good but not quite the quality as that other major park in town. Entertaining and educational animal shows...don't skip the one with house pets, it is amazing what they've taught these rescued animals to do!
BIG value of the day is the all-you-can-eat meal plan, skip the souvenir, refillable cup and just get the meal plan. You can have an entre, side or dessert, AND DRINK every hour all day!
Good family fun. Memories that i am sure my kid will have for a lifetime.
Sea World is simply overrated. It seems run down compared to the past. The penguins were a cool feature and feeding the walruses was cool. Other than that...zilch. You just don't feel the magic anymore. It may suit the kids, but not worth the price of admission. Sorry, not for me.
A shell of it's former self. This place seems so neglected and run down. The food is disgusting and the staff seems like they dont want to be there. I still give it 3 stars because the shows were incredible.
I have been going to Florida theme parks for years and all have Christmas decorations, but only in SeaWorld and Bush gardens they celebrate Christmas giving credit to Christ for the season, not only you see nativity scenes, Christmas Carols and plays about the birth of Jesus.
I congratulate both parks for keeping the real spirit of Christmas and being bold about showing their beliefs to this more and more secular world.
My family and I for the past few years we support this parks by buying annual passes and we will continue to do so as we think they are family oriented and friendly to our values.
One of the best attractions in Orlando Florida. Spectacular roller coaster rides, shows, great food and many annual events through out the year. Our favorite times is during the fall season and Christmas time. Parking is easy and always available. Team members are always very helpful. A great park for the entire family.
Awesome shows between the Dolphins, Orcas, Sea lions and penguin ride that led to real penguins oh yeah and the pet show with dogs, cats, rats, ducks, birds and pot belly pig lol between all the food
Great time but need to work on wording for the annual pass guest tickets. It not stated in section that is noticeable. It states in tiny writing that you can only bring to set number of guess for the year with include with higher tier passes. One it done it done. One recommendation is for to actually put it in the ticket section of the website as a notice and not in section right section that you don t even get to see. Unless your trying to be sneaky which will and can get you sued....
Nice park to add to your Florida vacation. Not the biggest but plenty to do and see. Wear clothing that can get wet. Check online at least 3 days before for online ticket discounts or combine with Busch Gardens in Tampa
Orlando SeaWorld is the best. The Shamu show is still huge here and offered around 4x a day. Each show is packed get to the stadium at least 30 min early together a decent seat.
The new sesame street land was a huge hit for our toddler. They have a parade down sesame street 3-4x a day. A must if you have a young one. Best advice, make sure your child is wearing something bright and easy to recognize because there are swamers of children everywhere.
Visited today, amidst the pandemic....
The crowds were comfortable, they control this by requiring day of visit reservations.
My biggest issue with the visit is how do you charge regular admission price for half of the park being open... not cool!! If your plan is to eat while in the park....don't waste your money on the all day dining....majority of the restaurants are closed. And there are NO VEGETARIAN options!
2/4 roller-coasters were closed
Some rides didn't open until 12... causing a lines to build up IGNORING social distancing, this was very disturbing.
And the orca show is only 1 performance a day...so if you arrive at gate open @ 10am, no lunch bc there are no options and you want to view the orcas...be prepared for a very hangry group of folks.
Love SeaWorld, just genuinely disappointed.
This is a really good place with real deal for all day eat options. All shows are too good. Don't miss the closing fireworks show
A very nice family oriented park to visit that is enjoyed by all ages. My granddaughter who is 4 loves to go here. She truly enjoyed the new Sesame World and it's rides. And one of her favorite stops was at its splash pad. From interaction with the animals, the shops, parades, and the rides, it is a nice place to go to. Most enjoyed if you can get a day not as busy.
Orca show was a little shorter than I remember. Highly disappointed that certain rides are only open on the weekends as i traveled 13 hours to get here and had to take week days off due to my job.
Very crowded between Trick and Treat and free samples. They got 5 stars for the staffs helpfulness in getting me in and out of the park with a disability where I couldn't wait in long lines or walk long distances
Amazing precautions, very covid safe atmosphere with strong protocol, and reasonable traffic.
I know seaworld has had its controversies but I still love this place. I have been going since I was a child and now take my kids. My favorite part is feeding the sting rays.
The shows never disappoint and the food was wonderful. The dining plan is definitely worth the money you spend on it. Cant wait to go back.
I loved it lines weren't to long food wasn't to expensive and the mako was an amazing ride
The experience was fantastic. Make sure you enter early to cover most of the riders and places. Also take some snacks and water in your bag. I especially like the Dolphin show, the Shark Show, and the Penguins. There are many others that we could not ride because of shortage of time. It's always good to buy tickets from online (like groupon deals), otherwise, the gate price is too much; and you will lose some time if you want to buy tickets at the gate.
I heard so much bad things about seaworld but my first time there was an experience i will keep with me forever they care so much about the sea taking care of the animal. I learn to love take care the ocean like it were my own home. Definitely recommend seaworld.
The last time I went to Sea World was over 20 plus years ago. But, over the years I became disappointed on how their maybe was a possibility the whales may have been mistreated but I saw the change this time.
It took me along time to return.
It was a wonderful and fascinating experience! Dolphin and Killer whales shows were awesome. It was very emotional experience for me to see them. They focus on how we all should do our best to take care of the environment and the ocean. And, that Sea World was concern about their wellbeing and health and their love for them and how much they care for the animals. My grandchildren loves it and I love it too. I look forward to returning to Sea World again in the future.
Hadn't been in a few years My wife and I had a ball. Did the Orcas, Dolphins and an animal show. All fun. Ate at the smokehouse had the Brisket Chicken Fries all good. Only caveat be prepared to walk. Good for Seniors Adults and Kids of all ages.
Love it here. Staff is so friendly. Place is beautiful. Thank you
Whales show. Amazing experience. Sesame Street parade a must stop for kids
Great Experience! For All Ages!, Loved all the Shows, and Creatures
If you don't have a smartphone. It's pain in the neck
This was our second time going since COVID! We went in July and had a great time except many of the water rides were shut down. This was a downer because it was so hot and humid! But it was not at all crowded and clearly operating on health and safety guidelines.
This weekend Saturday after Thanksgiving it was tooo crowded! All rides had over hour wait times including Sesame Street!! We did get to see the Orca show and sat up front and center!
We had 4 children under age 8 and 4 adults! Very disappointed in health and safety practices and park was clearly not operating at a reduced capacity even though reservations had to be made!
Despite the rainy weather, employees were helpful and friendly. Raincheck tickets were granted at the info desk so we can come back hopefully when it doesn't rain. SeaWorld does so much for marine science, education and rescues! Rides are awesome. Sesame Street is great. Go visit!
Had a wonderful time with my 6 yr old daughter for her first time here. The park is clean, and lots of improvements are being made. I know they are struggling with how to survive in their own post Blackfish world, but they really do try and protect these animals. It s a tough spot to be in, but they seem very focused on conservation and rescuing of animals instead of training them for tricks. There is something to be said for what seeing these animals in person does to someone. My daughter left the park saying daddy, when I grow up, I want to help seals. Made me smile.
Bad customer service from the accounting department. Otherwise a great place.
I've loved SeaWorld since I was a little girl. It instilled in me a passion for animals and conservation. I was so excited to bring my own kids back to experience the magic for themselves. I was not disappointed. They were blown away by the shows, the rides, and the animals. My oldest hasn't stopped talking about it since. She now has a passion for sea animals and conservation as well. We've had some great talks about how we can make a difference as a family.
Shows are good. It was very expensive. If you need an electric wheel chair, bring your own. They charged me 65 dollars and refused to allow my grandbaby to ride with me.
My kids love it and the lines are always reasonable!
Haven t been in years, hasn t changed much. The all day meal deals are great!!
Berry good loved sesame street enjoyed the parade they had great for the little ones
We had an amazing time. The shows and new additions the park had to offer made our day very exciting. I love that SeaWorld has rollercoasters now. We didn't have to spend extra money going to the other amusement parks bc SeaWorld has become equally enjoyable.
I love SeaWorld! No matter how many times I go with my family there is always something new to do! It is by far, our favorite Orlando attraction! The shows are wonderful, the park is clean, the rides don t have crazy wait times like other parks and DO THE BEHIND THE SCENE TOURS! They are worth it, you get to pet a penguin!
Absolute blast! I've been wanting to come to this place my whole life. Now my kids have memories that will last a lifetime. The Kraken should be banned! Lol
This is an especially beautiful park during the holidays with over 3 million lights strung up! My 13 month old son had his first trip yesterday, I was worried that he wouldn't really notice anything, but the dolphins caught his attention! Sesame Street Land was great, and for Mama's (and Daddy's), there is a nice quiet room in case your little one gets overwhelmed. We are actually going back today because we didn't get to see the whole park yesterday. Totally worth the annual passes. Between the cost of a one day pass and parking, the annual pass pays for itself in two visits.
SeaWorld is probably the best theme park for teenage kids and adults who are looking for an adrenaline rush from some of the best roller coasters in the country. They have an amazing annual pass program that is far more financially frugal while delivering an above and beyond experience. Interactive shows and exhibits showcase ocean life for on an extraordinary way.
Nice theme park - some rides are slightly older. But overall the place is pretty awesome!
Nice park, the shows are cool, i feel bad for the animal born in captivity who will never swim freely. And that will likely die early in life.
Great time!! Alot of walking but it was worth it would go back again in a heartbeat. Love the penguins!
We have so much fun we acted like big kids again. The smile on my daughter's face an my husband's was priceless we needed some joy this summer an we had that on this trip.
Easy to find. Parking was 25$ for regular parking. Lots of restrooms. Soft drinks alittle high. No straws or lids allowed. Shows were nice but short. I really liked Sesame Street!! The parade was awesome. The Christmas lights and trees were beautiful!!
Totally enjoyed the day with the cooler temps. Great shows as always. Very controlled spacing even exiting the performances. They are doing it right! Never felt uncomfortable
First time. Roller coasters a ton of fun and a great thrill. Good fun thing to do for a day with family or a date.
Many things are closed. They closed Journey from Atlantis while were there. Very disappointing.
Had a ton of fun. The shows are where it's at. The rides are always fun too but the shows are a must attend. We went on Christmas day and saw a Disney on Ice performance which was literally Olympic caliber. Unbelievable - look up the headbanger. They actually did that... Amazing.
Great park! Lots of fun for the entire family! I really enjoyed the dolphin experience. It was a great place to learn about the animals and how they help rehabilitate them and get them back to the wild.
More crowded even for mid Aug where FL schools are back in, but still very cool things to see! Shows were great & not too long
Amazing place. We love the animal encounters. The park has really been doing a lot to improve. The new Virtual reality Kraken Coaster is okay. The headsets are uncomfortable and often fall off during the ride. I recommend riding without and enjoying the ride that way. Plus it really slows down the wait times. Could be a great experience but it needs some work. The animal encounters are best on slow weekdays when you pay a lower price and have a smaller group. You get more time interacting with the animal you chose and more time to ask the keeper questions.
The weather was excellent and the Dolphin show was pretty awesome. Can't wait to go again.
As a person going to seaworld for the first time who loves the ocean and all of its animals, I absolutely loved it. I had a great time, maybe even more than some of the kids.
Weather did not cooperate so attractions were closed, but we still had a great time. Animal exhibits were awesome! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food is a little pricey.
Great time. Rides were a ton of fun and the Corona precautions were well done. Fewer people meant more rides and better seating for the shows.
Took my family and they had a wonderful time. My 2yr old son and his 17 yr old brother and his 17 yr old friend. All three of them had a wonderful time.
Seaworld was fun. Clean and lots of food options. Only gave it a 4 start for 2 reasons. 1- we needed a bandaid for a busted toe and took a while to find a first aid kit. 2 - some rides and attractions closed early 2 hrs after opening. Over all it was a decent experience.
When I visit SeaWorld, it's for the rides. They have some fantastic coasters here! Manta is an absolute riot. It's one of the most unique coasters that I have experienced in Florida. Mako is definitely thrilling! I love the hops! It's my favorite ride at SeaWorld. The Kraken is a good time too. It has it's moments and twists and turns. There are lots of animal experiences too. I'm not a fan of patronizing the animal shows but others seem to enjoy them. I would recommend a visit to the park for the rides, especially if you are a coaster freak like me. They don't disappoint.
Seals are great entertainment. Finally sat in a splash zone with the whales...it was worth it to get three huge splashes...time to go higher.
Animal shows were amazing. Seaworld Orlando does a great job of being a place where people can learn and interact with so many different types of animals. The behind the scenes tours I would highly recommend! All of the negative publicity that Seaworld gets is poorly misguided. Come ans experience these parks for yourself!
It s not the Sea World of yesterday. Facilities look a bit run down and the food is all deep fried and greasy. I hope Sea World figures out a way to reinvent itself, but the vibe suggests otherwise. Compared to Disney World, lines were short and coupons abound. Worth a visit, but we won t be returning.
Riveting shows, well taken care of animals and their habitats, friendly and happy employees
We got annual passes to switch it up from Universal, and we had an absolute blast! It was our first time visiting the park and we were very happy with the coasters, blown away by the generous portions from the food festival (we got the lanyard with 15 samples, and the 3 of us split just about everything we got, and we still have about 8 punches left! Wrapped up the day with the dolphin show...it was awesome! So much fun. Can't wait to go back and hit the rest of the shows, and Busch Gardens!
Such a nice park. Not too crowded with a great food selection. Good music and fun animal encounters. Can be a little pricey.
Love the animals and Seaworld's mission to rescue and preserve the animals.
Take a map, crumple it up.. And throw it away, cause it won't help you. Hard to get around, but a great place to visit. Animals are beautiful.
I would have gave it five stars, if it wasn't for that crappie restaurant across from the Christmas store. The shows were fantastic a must see.
Make sure to have some type of hat. The sun is no joke. I gave a 3 because a lot of the rides were down and the wait time for the ones working was well over 55-75 minutes long. Also make sure to bring lots of money. It can be expensive. I enjoyed the Shamu & the dolphin show awesome.
Flix and Fireworks was great! We felt very safe with social distancing in place. The movie was clear and you could tune the sound from your car radio. It was a fun nostalgic evening out with the family. Great memory maker in the midst of these crazy days.
Super fun had an amazing time and definitely love the new ride. And the whole new Sesame Place section it's beautiful
I love coming here. It is always fast to get in and the workers are very nice. I like how they have people around in every area to educate you or to ask questions if you need to. The shows are always so fun and I love knowing they help rescue animals. The firework shows here are always amazing as well as the decorations for Christmas.
What a fun educational trip to SeaWorld! Garfield here is 37 yrs old, in the wild, I believe they sad they live to roughly to the age of 20/25. This was an incredible experience, we were able to feed him and just hang out!!
I loved all those sea creatures and it's very fun rides.
I was in Florida in July 4th and bought tickets. Couldn t go because it was storming so I called about a refund and it was granted that I would get a refund. And I still haven t received my refund. It has been over 3 months & still haven t received my money back & I had paid up to $700. I have called over & over through the months and I keep getting the same answer that refunds are backed up. It is very irritating & makes me mad that I still haven t received my money. I am a single mother of 5 and that money doesn t come easy & would like my money back asap
Loved it! Had a great time. Pricey restaurants but had a great time
This Park has stepped up their ride game if roller coasters are your thing. The Manta is one of the most exhilarating rides there and possibly anywhere. They also have the Mako, Kraken and 2 water rides(Journey to Atlantis and infinity falls, all which appeal to the little older kids.
As is the case with all the them parks in this area Tuesday and Wednesday are the slowest days.
Enjoy!
It is a fun and safe place to visit. Well organized and nice people. During these holidays it is a dream at night with all the christmas lights shows by the lake. We loved it.
I enjoyed this theme park. There were some long lines at certain areas, though. We got rained out for about 30-45 minutes and decided to cut our visit short.
I loved this whole experience! I saw someone drop their wallet while on the coaster and made sure one park staff knew of it to help find the owner. I loved being surprised with actual penguins on the ride. That alone will be the reason I come back.
Animals were great however beware of the Florida heat! Bring or purchase plenty water, umbrellas and battery operated fan. Parents they have double strollers for rent on site for $25. Lifesaver!
So this was a very interesting experience. Compared to Disney Springs the night before it was 100% better! So going in if you don't have a mask they'll sell you character and animal masks and/or neck gaiters. Disney does not allow neck gaiters, this revelation at SeaWorld was amazing! I have asthma and chronic bronchitis and allergies that block up my nose and sinus passages I cannot tolerate a mask. Moving on, they have a giant device that takes your temperature. There are signs and employees reminding you to mask up. But they're not overly psychotic about it, i.e. Disney like where they'll follow you around the store like a creepy stalker. They're very nice and respectful at SeaWorld when it comes to face coverings. You can walk around while eating and drinking without a problem. You're allowed to take your face coverings off on all the rides but the kiddie rides which is nice as well. The all you can eat food plan was absolutely awesome and I highly recommend it. We also bought the quick pass tickets and we wasted money, everything was walk on, even Mako (pardon incorrect spelling). Mako was awesome and probably the best coaster there by a mile, but the Mantra flying coaster when you're on the big loop and can't tell if you're upside down or not was amazing. Park was clean, even bathrooms were kept up for the most part, much better than Disney bathrooms! The food at all the restaurants was good to very good. The dolphin show was okay, the sea lion show was pretty good but seemed very short, the orca show was very cool, it was cool to see those giant mammals move like that. The biggest downside for us was that there are only 6 rides or so outside of Sesame Street Place and we kind of felt like we were wanting more at the end of the night.
We did a behind the scene tour that was included when we stayed on site at a hotel. Was great. Park was clean!
We got the preschool passes this year for the children which were awesome, so we bought season passes ourselves. It seemed like a lot of money at first but when compared to universal and Disney it was really the cost of a day or so. we look forward to coming back all year long as there are many things to do
Fun place with plenty of things to do, plan your day and get there early.
