You can get close to amazing sea creatures through the interactive programs that are offered in this adventure park. Some of the programs worth checking out include Trainer for a Day, False Killer Whale Interaction Program, Animal Care Experience, Sharks Deep Dive, To the Rescue!, Polar Expedition, Predators, and other educational programs.
Aside from the interesting interactive programs, guests also love the wide array of rides and attractions found in this park. If you are in it for the thrill, hop aboard the new Kraken, a monster roller coaster known as the fastest, tallest, longest and the only “floorless” roller coaster in the whole of Orlando. For those who don’t have the stomach for that kind of adventure, consider the Journey to Atlantis, a water-coaster ride that is the wettest and fastest water drop. If you’re not a big fan of rides, you would enjoy SeaWorld’s spectacular shows including the Shamu Adventure, Pets Ahoy!, and the Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island Show. You will also have a great time at the Aquatica Waterpark and Busch Gardens.
Check in at hotels nearby. This will save you time and energy from having to travel from your hotel to the park.
Pack lightly. You don’t have to bring a large luggage when you visit the park. This park has food stalls and restaurants inside so you don’t have to bring your own water or food.
Enjoy your day. It is not every day that you get to see these amazing animals. Be sure to enjoy every bit of your vacation here.
Whether you choose to dine with the sharks, swim with the manatees, or go mid-air in the park’s state-of-the-art roller coaster, one thing is for sure, with the right planning and preparation, you and the kids will have the time of your life in this adventure-field marine park.
