Thrill all of your senses and experience close encounters with wildlife as you explore the 200-acres of oceanic fun and adventure at SeaWorld Orlando. Over 80 million park visitors have come to SeaWorld for a chance to touch and feed underwater wildlife, attend fun-filled shows, and journey on unforgettable rides. From interactive educational exhibits, to sea-themed shops and exciting attractions, SeaWorld has something for everyone.

Thrill Rides at SeaWorld Orlando

• Thrill-seekers come to SeaWorld to chase exhilarating adventures on the park's unique rides. Buckle yourself into Orlando's tallest and only floorless coaster, Kraken. Named after a huge sea serpent from folklore, Kraken climbs 15-stories before releasing you on a 65 mile-per-hour voyage where your feet dangle in the air below you. Embark on a Journey to Atlantis, which is part water-ride, part rollercoaster, for an amazing voyage with a steep 60-foot drop. Hurtle through water and fly down coaster track to escape the phantoms of Atlantis who try to seal your fate and hold you forever in the ancient city. Board a Wild Arctic helicopter bound for a spectacular exploration to see polar bears, walruses and beluga whales. The Arctic is beautiful, but dangerous, as your copter pilot dodges a snowstorm and other frozen perils.

Live Shows and Attractions at SeaWorld Orlando

• In between the speed of the rides at SeaWorld, find a stationary seat at one of the many shows in the park. Meet the world's most famous killer whale, Shamu, at The Shamu Adventure. Marvel at the death-defying stunts of performers at the mystical underwater circus, Odyssea. Or, from a front-row seat, observe the amazing acrobatics of the playful dolphins at The KeyWest Dolphin Fest. Be sure to bring a waterproof camera to capture action in the Splash Zone at wildlife shows! At Pets Ahoy, over 100 animals (including dogs, cats, birds, pot-bellied pigs and others) will do tricks and show their skills to impress you; most of these talented performers were rescued from animal shelters before coming to live at SeaWorld. If you'd like to see a real pirate story unfold before you, go to the Clyde and Seamore Show, where Clyde the sea lion goes on hilarious high sea adventures of pirates and treasure.
• Another fun-filled area of SeaWorld is The Waterfront, and meander through the nautical village to hear sea tales from The Harbormaster or grab a snack at The SandBar, string a beaded necklace at Allura's Treasure Trove, or pick up a handcrafted souvenir in the Tropica Trading Company.

Animal Exhibits at SeaWorld Orlando

• After seeing Shamu and other wildlife perform, you may be inspired to get a little closer to some of the animals at the park. Visit Key West at SeaWorld where you can touch and feed dolphins, and offer snacks to stingrays and sea lions. At Key West at SeaWorld, you can also view over 400 sea turtles, many of which are endangered species. At Shark Encounter, sharks, eels and fish swim over your head and all around you, as you journey through a 60-foot clear acrylic tunnel.

Whether you seek a high-speed adventure or a close encounter with a dolphin, SeaWorld has something for you.
