SeaWorld Parks & Resorts Orlando Review

Great spot for the family. Needs a fresh vibe but overall, we had a good time.

First and foremost, thank you to SeaWorld for providing free tickets to the military. I am soon to deploy and it was a perfect family outing prior to being away for over a year. My kids had a blast and the refillable drink was worth every single penny. It was the only thing that kept the kiddos hydrated and able to enjoy the park. The addition of sesame street is money as I have a 2 year old and the splash pad kept both kids cool during the noon hours. Overall, it was an amazing experience!

Its phenomenal! Its my happy place! With family or by myself, I'll go there over and over for years to come!

By far my favorite park in the Orlando area. I'm old school so yes I miss the good old days with the trainers actually getting in the water but I understand whole heartedly why they can't do so. But the wildlife I can't see everyday and it is always a sight to see.

It was so awesome loved it. Amazing animals and roller coasters.

We had a great time here! Prices were reasonable...compared to the other theme parks in the area. It's the staff that made it awesome! Beautiful park, well laid out and kept very clean. The Manta coaster was the highlight of my day.

Such a fun magical place for all ages. Our entire family loves visiting. Staff is always nice. Each visit gets better, thank you for the wonderful times.

loved the shows than the rides. brings back days of when I used to watch the animals as a child and made me want to become an animal trainer. back to the here and now, can't help but wonder if the animals are happy in their environment though especially with all the noise and the fireworks..? however, saying that i did have a nice experience but the major criticism I would say is that the park does not have enough signs/directions. there is a lot of guess work when you approach a fork on the road despite the maps we had. and need more water fountains!

Good park! Some rides closed which is sad but it still good!!

A really nice experience only the price is a little bit to high.

I had fun! We got the dolphin encounter and some great photos! We got to see the orcas do three shows! Don't miss the orcas!

Awsome. Mako is a must ride as far as rollercoasters. The show's are great.

The park seems to be struggling to get by but it was an absolutely amazing experience. The shows are all very well done and well produced. The animals appear healthy and well cared for. I am excited to return to see the new more educational focused shows next year!

My 3 year olds 1st time and she absolutely loved everything about it. They have lots of Christmas decorations up and the shows are themed towards Christmas, simply amazing. The Orca show was wonderful.

Always a good time especially when I get to see the shows.the kids love sesame street area which is stellar

Amazing place with endless options of shows to attend as well as great deals

Sea World is amazing! You can come face to face with some of most majestic and beautiful sea life. Gain knowledge and create a growing love and compassion for what lives on our earth! Every show is fantastic! The rides are so much fun! Be prepared to get soaked in Journey to Atlantis!! The penguin enclosure is so amazing to be able to be so close to them. Sea World helps so many conservation, rescues and rehabilitation organizatiobs, along with the amazing work they do!!! Spend time having fun and helping our marine animals at the same time!

Great experience here at SeaWorld Orlando, Florida! We needed two days to be able to enjoy the whole entire park. This park it s amazing and has lots of rides, shows and attractions for the whole family! My personal advice to you, get up early and come to the parkas early as possible to be able to enjoy the best rides without long lines and try to go to the wet rides early in the morning to be able to get dry and enjoy the rest of the park with dry clothes. Do not go to a wet ride if you re planning to go to see the penguins because the temperature there is below zero. I love this park and I highly recommend it!

Clean park, friendly staff and the orca show was great, just be prepared to get wet if your sitting in the front rows. Very educational place, learned a lot about the inhabitants of the sea. Must make a reservation before going due to covid epidemic but that's to insure the safety of the guests so everyone can have fun and enjoy the different exhibits. Will most definitely be coming back.

SeaWorld is awesome. Almost everyone is keeping their social distance and EVERYONE is wearing a mask. Their are social distancing signs and hand sanitizer all throughout the park.

had a wonderful time at SeaWorld. got in for free being in the military.

Love the sesame street characters and the playground can't wait for my grandson to come for the summer he just loves Elmo

Love it I like all the rides I enjoy the shows and love spending Quality time with the family. Great work SeaWorld!

Great time, plan to spend the day and I would recommend the meal deal for the day. Do all the shows you can, the big coasters are great. Really beautiful at night at Christmas time with the lights. Highly recommend it if you spend the day and get your money's worth.

Fun for all ages. Sea World offers rides, shows, and activities for children and adults alike. The shows are upbeat and keep kids engaged and entertained while learning. There are also opportunities to have close up encounters and interactions with some of the animals. This is also a great place for a school field trip. If there for a field trip you will get to go a special show specifically for this type of occasion. Overall this is a great experience that I happily recommend to others.

Terrific park. Great rides and shows. Staggered section opening times makes it feel like a second-tier park though, and the decision to keep the dining area by infinity falls closed until 11 is perplexing. I prefer to wait in AC while the rest of party is on Infinity Falls, and would purchase food/drink at that time as well if possible. Looked like many other guests felt similar as I sat and watched them express frustration when seeing the closed doors at 10:20 am.

One of the most underrated theme park in Orlando. Yes, it's not Universal Orlando or Disney but SeaWorld do satisfy one curiosity whether it's the rides, and/or shows. The ticket price are reasonable compared to Disney and Universal. In addition, the park is not that crowded. Highly recommended! Enjoy your time!

Thoroughly unimpressed but it all comes down to 1 thing. Like other parks, you aren't allowed to carry personal things onto rides. Here however they force you to pay for temporary locker rentals so that you may ride their rides. Admission should be the only required cost.

It is hot, but the shows definitely cool you down! All the animals are amazing and the rides are awesome!

Great day with the wife and kid, thank God it was free for the military day, I can't imagine spending 100 a ticket and then get gouged for 30 bucks for parking. That said for my experience it was awesome, I do miss the clydesdales and free beer that was there 10 years ago.

My granddaughters 5th Birthday We had a wonderful time her favorite was the Dolphin Show The Penguin Encounter came in 2nd!
The only thing that would have made it better birthday and her eyes would have been to have something up close and personal with the dolphins.

*** AMAZING RIDES, GREAT FOOD & FUN FOR ALL ***
So I am a little late with this review but figured I d add it anyway. My job took our entire staff to Sea World in July 2017. We charted a tricked-out limousine bus and drove up from South Florida. It was an awesome road trip.

The theme park is huge so be prepared to walk. I was fortunate to be amongst a group of people who had been to Sea World before, so they knew exactly what to do, what to ride, and where to go. With that said, I was able to get on all the rides within a few hours. Keep in mind; you will need a Quick Queue pass to skip the lines.

My favorite ride was the Mako. This ride was insane. I must have ridden it about five to six times. It s definitely not for the weak. There were many who declined to get on it, but not this guy!

My only downfall or negative about this park is that they don t have more rides. Other than that, this place rocks. The food at the underwater Shark Grill was scrumptious. I would recommend trying the Mako ride at least once.

AWESOME THEME PARK. 4 stars!

Love this place. First time going. the lines was short but did like that some of the attractions were closed

Today the weather was great. Parking entrance was a little slow, but it IS Thanksgiving week. Bag check was quick and efficient. Renewed pass today, that was quick considering the whole queue was full.
Love the decorations in the park. The Seafire grill is where we ate lunch. Chicken sandwich was very good. Chicken tenders were also good and very moist. During your lunch, they play a cute cartoon of Rudolph for the kids. Nice trip.

What an amazing experience for all the children. Advice not to sit in the from of the show if you do not want to get soaking wet

We took our kids today to SeaWorld to give them a experience that I had a few years ago and nothing is open but the shows and sesame street we paid over $200 to get in plus parking and there is nothing to do but watch the shows you can pay SeaWorld extra money to feed the dolphins for $45 which get you 20 minutes to feed them or you can pay $12 to feed the sting rays which they give you 5 tiny fish for that I so disappointed on how they took your money and they refuse to do any refunds. I. Believe it is better to take your family to a zoo may be a lot better then this so I wouldn't recommend anyone to come here anytime soon unless you want to waste time and money

Watching the dolphin and orca engines was great! We did however have 2 rides that had technical difficulties after we had waited in line for a long time.... Might have just been a bad day for the rides but it was frustrating!

Great coasters and their food festival was better than the Taste of Chicago!

Good for the whole family. Plenty of rides, shows and eats. Merchandise is just under the average for theme parks in central Florida.

So glad Sea world has added new rides and attractions. Such a great spot! Educational and fun!! Feed live stingrays or dolphins...visit the dolphin nursery or ride t if e infinity falls.. tallest rapid ride....but you WILL get wet...bring sandals or water shoes to put on prior to getting on the ride. Check out their all you can eat all day meal deal. It was so forth the money!!!

Because of Covid 19 , the park was not busy. Many of attractions were closed...I had a nice time anyway...I'm 50+ years old

So cool, some of the best rollercoasters I've been on. Get there early and hit everything a couple times. Skip the penguin thing it's not worth it.

Great experience! We got to the park right as it was opening. We had planned our day the night before so we knew what shows we were going to and what rides to do. We went directly to the rides first because they get busy later. We bought two refillable cups and refilled them several times throughout the day. The park was great for my teenagers too!

Love this place! The food is delicious (get the all day dining pass). The shows are entertaining and fun. I was a little nervous about going, but I felt very safe with all of the Covid precautions in place. My family had a great time!

Great day! Tons of fun and a great program for our homeschooling kids!

Nothing short of amazing!!! The Shamu and dolphin shows were spectacular!! I highly recommend that you get the dine- all -day upgrade if you're going to be in the park all day.

Great family park! Awesome day! Definitely get the dining plan so worth it!!

We love it here. My grandson loves going to Sesame street. We had a great time!

I absolutely love sea world, I've grown up visiting and I continue to enjoy each visit. The animals are well cared for, the park is clean, the conservation is important, and they are doing a great job with social distancing and mask requirements.

I absolutely adore SeaWorld and their sister parks! The dedication to the animals in their care, and their outreach programs is just absolutely beautiful. We will continue to come back and show love and support to such an incredible park!

Awesome day off family fun. Food is pricey but that's expected. The 15.99 drink special is the best thing you could do we got 2 but had 10-12 drinks in each cup over the course of the day so at 8 each that was a great saving it included soda and slushes.

Easily the worst of the theme parks in Orlando, confusing to walk round and expensive. The locker machines are also confusing and it's just not a very good park in my opinion. The staff here are not as friendly as Disney or Universal. I have never spent more than half a day here and I don't intend to.

That been said, Mako is a very enjoyable ride and so is Infinity Falls, would highly recommend those.

Wish it had more rides, but it was still a lot of family fun.

Good fun for the family. Workers really care, and keep the place super clean. More fun than Disney, shorter lines too. Parking doesnt need to be this expensive though. Good options for bulk food/drink throughout the day at decent prices.

Friday was perfect, lines we're short, weather was just right and the staff were respectful!

Good place to visit. The extreme rides here was truly extreme and we enjoyed. The aquariums are well maintained and informative. We went on a weekday so the fast pass was not of much use but on weekend i would recommend fast pass as crowd might be there.

No lines! The roller coasters had no lines! Shows were awesome too. Your likely to get wet so dress accordingly.

The phone customer service employees
Need a little more training. We were mislead the opportunities of the upgraded season passes. we're told upgraded passes would work for guest passes at SeaWorld until we got to SeaWorld then it was snows only good for Busch gardens.

Just like all theme parks overpriced. They had Manatees which are my fav. The dolphin show was cool. The shark feeding was closed. Wear tennis shoes cause you will do a lot of walking. Most places to get water had run out of ice and it was a hot day. One place the water tasted so terrible we had to all pour our water out. The parking was twenty two dollars.

Great tourist attraction loved visiting lots of fun things to do.

A like all but the whale experience was without a doubt the best

Really sort of a disappointment. I had a great time with my family but the park isn't quite what it used to. It's unfortunate.

Amazing! Loved everything about seaworld! Pets ahoy... awesome.. dolphin show.... outstanding and killer whale show... absolutely amazing!! Worth every penny

This is the first time I've been since I was little. I brought my 11 yr old son and sister and we had an amazing time! We did have to wear masks because of the pandemic, but it did not take away from the amazing shows or rides! We are at the underwater shark aquarium and my son was in complete awe!! Great service throughout the entire park! Can't wait to go again!

Very adorable location to bring kids for a fun filled day

Great park and beautiful. Would have been 5 stars if the all day beer and wine pass worked after 6pm. Way to many shops and restaurants closing way to early. Definitely going back this place is great.

Was nice but I m mad about the fact that after we paid a ton for tickets, we had to pay $30 for parking as we are traveling in a RV.

My favorite theme park. These folks do a fantastic job with animal rescue!!

Went today and had so much fun!! Big shout out to Eliza for being such an awesome employee!!!

Girls loved it and were very strict on safety and health :)

Lots of fun! Awesome rides and attractions. The new Sesame Street area is awesome for the little tykes. Had a real good experience.

It's so exciting and the best experience of a life time. Love Animals this the place 4 u and the family

Think this is my new favourite park over Universal. Spent the whole day here yesterday, didn't have to queue for the rides, lots of interaction with the animals, safari by train and an all round view of the park too. Overall, a fantastic day out for the family!

The best roller-coaster park in orkando. Has there great tall coasters in the same place.

It's really great place to visit. A lot of the exhibits are indoor with a/c, which allows to really spend time watching the animals. The shows are fun to watch and the roller coasters are a lot of fun.

It's a great place for family fun. We love SeaWorld but I think they need to do some dolphin tank painting.

SeaWorld has truly changed in last few years. I like seeing all the new plants even a few papaya trees! If I am not mistaken Amhiser used to have a building where you sample all the beers? I didn't see it this visit. They had little food stations and I tried the Yuengling Wings. They were great. The fish and chips were not so great. The batter on the fish seemed overcooked or oil needed to be changed. Fun was had by all and we still enjoyed other snacks and the pretzel bites!

Overall a good choice for vacation! The shows could have had some more variety with tricks but still enjoyable.

We had a great time! I would say the Quick Que is not worth the price. The shows are amazing and educational. Really something for everyone...

Growing up everyone complained about SeaWorld and how they treated the animals I think they treat him better than some people treat their kids

Everything we went to do was closed. We had 5 kids with us and none of the kiddie rides we open. The new water ride Infinity Falls was closed all day. The only family friendly ride we did get to try to ride shut down with us in line. All together we spent $400 to walk around and look at trees.

I understand the Covid precautions but our visit was horrible. Hardly any rides were open. We waitEd 1 1/2 hour for 1 ride that was open. The shows to ensure you get seats they want you to pay for reservations to make sure you have a seat because limited amount of seating just more money. To get out of the shows plan for at least 20 minutes because they let one row go at a time but was no more social distancing if everyone went at a time. We were there several hours and kids ride one ride and watched 2 shows. Don t waist your money to go right now even with tickets on sale not worth it.

Went with my Grandmother, and even though she can't get on any rides, the shows Sea World has made the day worth her and my time. It was great seeing the beautiful animals perform. You could honestly go to Sea World just to see all the Shows and performances. I think that's what makes Sea World stand out from other parks. The rides were a blast as well. If you can, plan out the day with a good balance between shows and rides because their both worth the time. Manta being my favorite from the bunch.
