For great family entertainment in North America (with a healthy dose of education), SeaWorld Orlando is hard to beat. Along with all the animal exhibits, SeaWorld also has a number of rides to keep children thoroughly entertained.
With whales, dolphins, sharks, walruses, penguins, polar bears and more, there are plenty of fascinating creatures to marvel at. Many of these animals also perform in SeaWorld’s numerous live shows. Dolphins combine with human acrobats to dazzle the crowds, and even the park’s killer whales are trained to entertain. Two sea lions also perform a comical show in the Sea Lion and Otter Stadium. Frequent special shows are announced, ensuring that there is always something new to see.
Once all of the animal attractions have been seen, SeaWorld’s roller coasters provide further entertainment. Kraken is the park’s showcase ride, a high-speed floorless roller coaster. Journey to Atlantis is a boat ride which also features roller coaster elements. For younger children, Shamu Express (a junior roller coaster) and various teacup rides are ideal. The 400-foot tall Sky Tower, meanwhile, provides some spectacular views of the park and its surrounding area.
If left with time to spare after visiting SeaWorld, both the Aquatica water park and Discovery Cove are located nearby. Both have similar themes but provide a unique experience. SeaWorld Orlando is open year round from 9.00am to 6.00pm daily (opening times can vary so check in advance). The park is located in Orlando, Florida, with the main entrance on Central Florida Parkway. Florida’s airport is served by most domestic and international airlines.
