Up-close and personal with ocean icons

Watch orcas leap sky-high, dolphins dance with trainers, and sea lions steal the show with their cheeky charm. You can even hand-feed stingrays or dolphins for that once-in-a-lifetime connection.

Ride Orlando’s mightiest coasters

Drop from 200 feet on Mako, the fastest coaster in the city. Glide face-down on Manta, twist and loop through the waves on Kraken, and surf standing up on Pipeline: The Surf Coaster. SeaWorld is rightly called the Coaster Capital of Orlando.

Play, learn, and protect

Every splash here has a purpose. SeaWorld’s rescue team has saved over 41,000 animals, and your visit helps continue that mission. Between the screams and splashes, you’ll find presentations, exhibits, and animal encounters that inspire ocean love for life.

Fun that spans generations

Whether you’re chasing coasters, watching penguins waddle, or waving to Elmo on Sesame Street, there’s something here for every age and thrill level. It’s that park where kids, parents, and grandparents can all have a great time together.

Be a part of seasonal celebrations

From glowing summer nights to Halloween spooks and a sparkly Christmas winter wonderland, SeaWorld Orlando transforms year-round. Each season brings new shows, flavors, and fireworks; no two visits are ever the same.

Things to know before booking SeaWorld Orlando tickets

  1. Your SeaWorld Orlando ticket grants you access to all the rides, animal exhibits, and shows, except seasonal events that require separate tickets. 
  2. Flexible plans? The Any-Day Tickets offer a one-year validity from the purchase date. This means book now and visit later.Note: Even with an any-day ticket, you must register your chosen date online in advance to ensure entry.
  3. Double the fun or triple it: Combine your visit to SeaWorld Orlando with one or two additional Florida parks. Choose from Aquatica Orlando (1.3 miles away), Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (72.1 miles away), or Adventure Island Tampa Bay (72.1 miles away). No need to rush through these visits; validity on the other park is 2 weeks from the first visit.
  4. Unlimited fun is the way: Why limit yourself to 2 or 3 parks, when you can enjoy all four! A 4-Park ticket grants you unlimited access to all four parks for 14 days, with parking included. It means you have a 14-day window to visit the four parks any number of times, no questions asked.
  5. Plan your meals: Remove the stress of planning every meal/snack on your visit. The All-Day Dining Deal includes one entrée, side/dessert, and beverage every 90 minutes.
  6. Free entry: This is limited to children aged 2 and below.

Understand your SeaWorld ticket options

A visual guide to Seaworld Orlando

Park layout

Think a loop around a central lagoon, with themed “lands” branching off. It’s designed for a full circle without backtracking, making it perfect for completing one clean lap of the park.

Thrill zones

Headline coasters such as Mako®, Manta®, Kraken®, Pipeline, and Ice Breaker™ sit along the outer loop, all lined up for back-to-back adrenaline pumps.

Show stadium

Catch signature presentations at:

  • Orca Encounter → Orca Stadium
  • Dolphin Adventures → Dolphin Theater
  • Sea Lion & Otter Spotlight → Sea Lion & Otter Stadium

These are spaced around the lagoon; plan your lap around their showtimes to avoid criss-crossing the park.

Animal encounters and exhibits

Shark Encounter Tunnel, Penguin Trek, Wild Arctic, TurtleTrek, and Stingray Lagoon are sprinkled between the big rides; great cool-down stops between the highs.

Sesame Street Land

Located on the park’s east side, featuring kid-sized rides, splash zones, and character meet-and-greets with Elmo & friends.

Dining & shopping spots

Restaurants and shops wrap around the lagoon—from BBQ and seafood to grab-and-go snacks. Pro-tip: Don’t miss Sharks Underwater Grill (next to Mako®) for a view worth lingering over.

How to Navigate?

  • Pick up a paper map at the gate, then switch to the SeaWorld Orlando app for live show schedules and wait times.
  • Start on either side of the lagoon and walk clockwise to hit everything naturally.
  • No shuttles needed, the paths are all walkable, flat, and well-signed.

Pro tip: Alternate coasters, exhibits, and shows for the perfect rhythm—thrill, chill, repeat.

Plan your visit

Visitor tips

  • Start your day by heading straight to Pipeline near the entrance—rope-dropping it helps you avoid the longest wait of the day.
  • Ride Manta immediately after Pipeline; it loads slowly, but early in the morning it’s usually still a walk-on.
  • Journey to Atlantis and Kraken are nearby and typically stay low-wait for most of the day, so you can enjoy them without rushing.
  • Mako also maintains short waits thanks to great capacity, so save it for later in the morning or early afternoon.
  • Plan to ride Infinity Falls by around 11am to avoid peak queues; this one tends to draw the longest midday wait.
  • Ride Ice Breaker soon after Infinity Falls to keep your wait time low.
  • Once you’ve covered the major rides, loop back for rerides or explore the park counter-clockwise at a relaxed pace.
  • If possible, bring a small fanny pack so you can use bins at attractions and avoid locker fees.
  • If you do need lockers, skip the all-day $15 option at the entrance and use attraction-based lockers instead—you’ll pay around $12 and can move between rides with 2-hour windows.
  • The mobile app can be unreliable for wait times. Instead, grab a physical map at the entrance and check wait boards or the ride itself for accurate info.
  • Don’t forget to claim your free beer at the restaurant near Infinity Falls (limit and availability may vary).
  • SeaWorld Orlando is also a rescue and rehabilitation center for marine wildlife, so take time to explore the animal exhibits, aquariums, and educational areas.
  • Animal presentations may occasionally delay or cancel if animals aren’t in the mood to perform. This is a good thing and shows animal-first care.
  • If you are visiting with young kids, check out Sesame Street Land for rides, character meet-and-greets, and playful splash areas.
  • For a smoother meal experience, choose restaurants with reserved or organized seating, since some locations get crowded and chaotic during peak times.
