Day 1
Ocean Thrills & Animal Encounters
Sea World Guest Services
Stop here first to grab accessibility passes or locker rentals before heading into the park.
Tip Buckle up your seatbelt on thrill rides β park staff will check restraints before every ride. Pick up a ride wait-time map at the entrance to plan your route efficiently.
Turtle Trek
A 360-degree dome theater ride following a sea turtle's journey through the ocean, surrounded by manatees and sea life.
Tip The ride has both a mild family version and a wild tilting version β choose at the ride entrance. The penguin walk-through area is kept at freezing temperatures, so have a light jacket ready.
Dolphin Nursery & Dolphin Cove
Dolphin Cove
Sea World's famous open-water dolphin habitat where you can watch bottlenose dolphins swim up close and even touch and feed them from the water's edge.
Tip Dolphin feeding trays are available to purchase nearby β arrive a few minutes early as trays sell out quickly. This is the best family-friendly animal experience in the park.
Voyager Food Market at Sea World
β VerifiedSea World's central food court area serving burgers, chicken tenders, fish and chips, and kid-friendly meals right in the heart of the park.
Tip Grab a spot in the shaded seating area β Orlando midday heat can be intense. The all-day dining pass sold at the entrance saves money if you plan to eat more than one meal in the park.
π Alternative Suggestions (1)
A full-service restaurant inside the shark exhibit where you dine with a floor-to-ceiling view of sharks swimming around you.

Sea Lions Live Show
A hilarious comedy show starring trained California sea lions performing pop culture parodies and tricks.
Tip Arrive 15 minutes early to get a good seat. Sit in the upper rows to avoid the 'Soak Zone' β the front rows WILL get splashed by the orcas. Check the daily show schedule at the entrance for exact times.
Mako Roller Coaster
Orlando's tallest and fastest roller coaster themed after the mako shark, reaching 73 mph with a 200-foot drop.
Tip You MUST buckle your seatbelt AND pull down the over-the-shoulder restraint before the ride begins β attendants check every row. Watch the Kraken TV screen at the ride entrance showing the creature's story while you wait in line. Ride first thing in the morning for the shortest wait (usually under 20 minutes at park open).
Journey to Atlantis
A hybrid water coaster and roller coaster that sends you through ancient Atlantis ruins and drops you into a massive splash finale.
Tip Buckle your seatbelt and secure the shoulder harness β the ride flips you horizontal so all loose items must go in a locker before boarding. The aquarium is free to walk through even without riding.
Flamecraft Bar at Sea World
β VerifiedSea World's popular waterside bar and grill serving flame-grilled burgers, seafood baskets, craft beers, and tropical cocktails as the sun sets over the lagoon.
Tip Grab an outdoor table overlooking the lagoon for the best atmosphere. This is a great spot to relax after a full day of rides before heading to the exit.
