SeaWorld

Estuve en Seaworld hace muchos años cuando fui a Estados Unidos y a Orlando al terminar mi colegio secundario en 1994 y fuimos a todos los parques de atracciones que había en el momento, solo no pude conocer Animal Kingdom de Disney porque no se había inaugurado aún.
Este parque temático esta dedicado al mar y a los animales marinos. Además cuenta con 3 montañas rusas acuaticas que una puede visitar si quiere.
Hay espectáculos con delfines y otros animales acuaticos muy lindos y a los animales se los nota muy bien.
Me gusto mucho cuando fui porque amo este tipo de animales y lugares. Siempre que tengo ocasión voy a los acuarios como son en Argentina Mundo Marino y el Aquarium de Mar del Plata por lo que cuando fui a USA no podía perderme conocer Seaworld.
Muy recomendable.

Sea World es un parque temático dedicado a los animales marinos. Sin embargo el motivo de mi visita fue conocer sus 3 montañas rusas que son impresionantes. No visite otras atracciones ya que no me interesan y prefiero ver a los animales en su hábitat natural, lo cual es posible por ahora en la mayoría de los casos. Sea World, junto con los otros parques de su propiedad, Aquatica y Busch Gardens (ubicado en Tampa), tienen una mayor cantidad de montañas rusas y toboganes de agua que Disney y Universal y los precios de las entradas son mucho más bajos. Conviene comprar el pase libre por 14 días en caso de quedarse por varios días en Orlando, ya que incluye estacionamiento gratis y se puede visitar por la tarde para evitar el calor y los horarios más concurridos. Las atracciones Manta, Kraken y Mako son de las mejores que visite en mi vida, especialmente la primera que es poco habitual en este tipo de parques. El horario de verano es muy amplio y pude disfrutar de las atracciones mencionadas llenando en la tarde y a pesar de una tormenta que interrumpió la operación del parque por más de una hora. Hay muchos baños con bebederos. También hsy muchos opciones de cómida.

En dix voyages à Orlando je n’ai visité Sea World qu’une fois et je n’ai aucune envie d’y retourner.
J’ai été déjà choquée par le côté ultra patriotique du lieu: hymne national avant les shows, les hommages aux soldats américains, désolé mais quand je vais dans un parc d’attraction ce n’est pas du tout ce à quoi je m’attends.
Pour les fans de coaster extrêmes ils sont apparement pas mal mais moi je passé mon tour car je risqué d’être malade pour un moment ensuite.
Niveau nourriture c’est très mal organisé et pas terrible.
Concernant les shows c’est sûr que la taille des orges est impressionnante mais ça né mérite pas pour moi une visite.
En plus il y a beaucoup d’options payantes comme par exemple pour nourrir les dauphins, voilà quoi comme on a déjà payé son entrée c’est pas terrible.

It’s always a great time at SeaWorld! The animals all appear to be happy, healthy, and energetic — as is the staff!
The rides and concessions offer great entertainment while you peruse through the different aquariums and injured animals that they care for.

Sea World is the perfect combination of fun attractions, thrill rides and coasters and animal shows.
The One Ocean show is a must see for lovers of Killer Whales — but remember to sit way out of the splash zone if you don’t fancy getting soaked! :)
Whether it be dolphins, polar bears, penguins — no matter your preference of animal — you can see them all at Sea World.
The Manta lay-​down rollercoaster is amazing fun! And Kraken — a scary but adrenalin-​racing coaster that will have you screaming at the top of your lungs!

Such a great experience! We had a great time. The food was good. We ate at the BBQ place in the park. We had turkey sandwiches and fruit pricey but good. My daughter had nuggets and fries she liked them. Finished everything. We also got her a gift from the gift shop at the Arctic ride. We got her a shirt and a Barbie it was about 37 $ for both. I was expecting to pay more so we were happy about that. I was breast feeding in one of the nursing stations and I had someone knock and giggle the handle for over 10 min while I screamed someone’s in here while feeding my baby. So be prepared nursing mommas if you want to use the nursing stations it’s not worth it just use a cover and feed on a bench. When I walked out of the nursing room a park person was trying to tell the lady to stop someone is in there but she couldn’t understand her? I don’t know. So the park lady showed me where the other nursing rooms are and apologized multi times for the lady interrupting me. I thought it was kind of her to walk us to the other area so we’re knew where it was at. My daughter had a blast! We will be coming back. A big thank you to the park attendants for being so caring and kind. We had a great experience. We also payed for preferred parking… It’s worth the 23 $ if you had a boat load of kids like us. We also go the quick passes 20 $ per person those are worth their weight in gold if you have kids. Just feel like a gangster walking past everyone waiting to get on the ride.

What’s not to love about Seaworld?! I believe they take excellent care of their animals. I don’t believe that we should capture any animals from the wild. However, these animals have been with humans for so long that releasing them into the wild means certain death. Look at what happened to the orca from «Free Willy» movie. In seeing these animals and interacting with them may teach humans to be more respectful of God’s creatures.

What more can I say than AWESOME! We came on a Wed and there was no crowd at all. We had two 2 year old olds so we were not able to do everything in the park.
We first went and watched the Pets show. It was very similar to the show I saw at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and I enjoyed it. I thought the Great Dane was beautiful.
We then went to the kiddy park area and let the girls ride the rides. My daughter loved every ride she could get on. We spent about 1 hour around here until the Wild Artic show and area.
The Wild Artic we skipped the show and went right to the animal viewing area. The Beluga whale was awesome but my favorite was the Walrus WOW it was massive and such an amazing animal. I wish I had pics but my phone had died.
We then went to the Killer Whale show. My brother in law and I decided it would be a smart idea to sit in the splash zone on a day which only reached 65… the water was 52… We were the only ones to sit in the first 10 rows… we sat row 3 haha… the show was amazing and the trainers focused on getting us wet… at first they were unsuccessful but we were right near a geyser and one of the trainers managed to use that to their advantage. The whales were incredible and the show is a must watch.
The last thing we were able to do since we were soaked and the girls tired was Manta. Hands down the best Coaster I have ever ridden. Always laying flat looking at the ground and flying… so awesome. My sister and brother in law were scared at first but loved it. I wish coasters by me were like this one.
I would love to come back to SeaWorld and complete the park.

I’ve been to SeaWorld about a dozen times over the years and always had a great time visiting and watching the shows. However, after realizing I’m not big into animal (and large mammal) captivity in my older years – I will probably never visit this place ever again.
Ruined by Blackfish and sucks they no longer serve free beer. :(Free Tilikum already.

WE HAD AN AWESOME DAY!!! Then I discovered through another Unilocaler that SeaWorld has been under severe scrutiny over the treatment of their animals, particularly the Orca’s.

THE CONTROVERSY
I honestly can’t tell you what planet I’ve been on for the last 40+ years, but I was not aware of any misdeeds or cruelty news surrounding SeaWorld other than the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010. Since my visit I decided to look into the controversy and discovered the story behind Tilikum, the whale whom killed not only Dawn, but two other trainers: Keltie Byrne in 1991 and Daniel Dukes in 1999. Tilikum was capture in 1983 at age 2, and since being torn away from his family he endured much trama, even prior to SeaWorld purchasing him from Sealand of the Pacific (now closed).
Prior to my visit, I was uninformed, so I did a lot of research about the topic before writing my review. I thought would provide links to the articles I read for your knowledge as well. I can’t honestly say if any of it is fully or partially true or completely distorted, but they certainly are thought provoking:
* Tilikum’s Story:

* John Hargrove’s interview:

* Blackfish (movie documentary):

ROLLER COASTERS
MANTA — 113 foot drop, 3359 feet in length w/​speeds of 56 mph. Smooth like butter, every theme park should have a roller coaster like this! (4.95 stars)
KRAKEN — 144 foot drop, 4177 length w/​speeds of 65 mph and multiple loops, zero-​G roll, cobra roll, plus a corkscrew. Bad to the bone! (4.5 stars)
DOLPHIN SHOW (5 stars)
There are few creatures on this planet that make me wish I weren’t human, but dolphins are definitely one of them.
KILLER WHALES SHOW (5 stars)
The sheer power of this creature leaves me in awe. Majestic and beautiful beyond compare.
SEA LION HIGH (5+ stars)
If you sit in the center splash zone, you are going to get DRENCHED! These creatures are extremely agile on both land and sea! Amazing to watch.
ELMO SHOW (4 stars)
Cheesy, but toddlers and 10 year old’s apparently love it!

THE FOOD
Turkey Legs are the ultimate family food when visiting any theme park, but especially if they are as delicious as the ones we experienced here. Generally speaking, my two young boys and I can share a turkey leg and fries as our only meal while inside the park. Combined with a big breakfast and snacks, we save a ton of money! Theme parks are notorious for high food prices, but turkey legs help us keep money in our pockets.
THE LANDSCAPING
Shout-​out to the landscape architects. It’s like someone built rides inside of a botanical garden.
PARKING
Gate prices for parking are $ 17, but my sister (whom has an annual pass) rode with us and parking fees were waved!
FUN THINGS TO DO
Snow globe pics
Christmas trees on the lake
Sting Ray touch and feed pool
Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin
Shark Encounter
Turtle Trek
Pacific Point Preserve

FINAL THOUGHTS
SeaWorld was a last minute decision. We wanted to take advantage of a multi-​park ticket that allowed us to visit Busch Garden as well (which we’d already planned to attend). The addition of SeaWorld added only $ 10 dollars more to our cost and bonus… we were approached while inside the park to visit a time share presentation for Wyndam’s Bonnet Creek resort. We received $ 149 cash back PLUS free next day tickets back to SeaWorld bringing our cost of entry for three days at two separate theme parks to $ 29 per person per day!
As far as the Orca controversy, I don’t know how much (if any) of the Blackfish documentary is true. However, I do believe we live in a society where man’s greed ruins everything, including a well-​meaning program to rehabilitate injured or endangered animals. If any portion of the controversy is true, I hope SeaWorld and all of their affiliates are taking serious steps to correct any and all gray areas.
I LOVE THIS PLACE! I am not anti-​SeaWorld, but I am grateful the movie has caused considerable thought to the rehabilitation of SeaWorld’s enclosures, practices and programs. I totally agree that the killer whale show should be changed to make it more educational rather than theatrical, which SeaWorld has already announced. They are one of the largest research and conservation organization for these and other marine mammals in the world and I for one hope the controversy makes them a better and stronger organization. It is MY belief that SeaWorld and its trainers/​marine staff are incredible and care for these animals better than anyone. Here is a MUST WATCH link to SeaWorld’s response to the controversy. Judge all the links for yourself, but I personally most believe the hearts & words of the trainers :
²⁰¹⁶⁄₁₁

If you like animal related shows and attractions then this is a great place for you. The whole experience is worth a visit… Unlike the other theme parks in town you can pretty much do everything in a day…

It is such an awesome Park. Actually my favorite Park. My only complaints are that the lines are really long for everything, the food is too expensive, you now have to pay to pet the Dolphins, and not all the animals are in very good view. Like the killer whales. But other than that I love that Park so much. I of course love the Dolphins. That place makes me want to change my career path to work with animals like that.

A little disappointed in the staff. The park itself is nice but the staff proved to be less than helpful.
At the entrance I asked a team member if there was an area designed for breastfeeding. their response was NO and that I should use family restrooms (which are dirty as hell, so not happening) or go to first aid stations around Park. Well for all nursing mom’s there is a nursing station in the kids play area behind the shamu arena.
Second encounter, asked where a refill station was and again, no one had a clue where one was located. My line if thought is if u work here u should have a notion of where things are.
And we’ll the 3^rd was at the photo viewing area at front of park. I stood there with NOT a single person in line while 3 of the employees ignored the fact we were there. One was in the computer and the other two were discussing something. But not once we’re we told we’ll be right with u or please give us a moment we are sorry for the hold up… nothing. It wasn’t till a nice lady came out from the back and asked of we had been helpedlthat we were finally acknowledged.
I’m a Florida resident and we travel regularly to Orlando. With 3 little ones it’s a quick getaway for the whole family but I don’t think seaworld holds up to the quality of service the other parks hold on to. I don’t think I’ll be back for a long time.

I have gone to all of the resorts and major spots in Florida for Christmas and I can honestly say SeaWorld by far offers the greatest Christmas experience! It’s beautifully decorated over the entire park. They do a sea of Christmas trees in their huge lagoon that is Choreographed to music with great holograms on the trees, Shamu Christmas Miracles, a spectacular evening show with the killer whales, a live amazing saxophone player ala Kenny G. A gospel singer and the whole audience singing Christmas carols. Winter Wonderland on Ice, a brilliant ice skating show that had such beautiful costumes it was like a radio city Christmas show but on ice! There was a live inside show: O’Wondrous Nights, that was beautiful and ended with a live manger scene including camels! A Christmas village that is in the style of the European Christmas markets, with games, cocoa, hot toddies and you can even decorate Christmas cookies! They make it snow at least every half hour at The Shops at the Waterfront area, so you get a white Christmas in Florida!
It’s also the best value as a fun pass is $ 99 and good for the whole year you buy it in. It took us 2 days to see everything. Don’t miss the Polar Express ride!
Tip:
The all day food pass is about $ 35 per person and a very good deal as the food in the park is excellent.
We ate at the Shark restaurant, which is not included in the food pass, but it the best kept secret in Orlando as the food is very responsibly priced and exceptional! Also you are sitting amongst the sharks behind a floor to ceiling glass wall. Just does not get better than that!

How many hours does it take to see everything at the Sea World? I know 10 hours I spent wasn’t enough!!!
Where do I begin, dolphin show, sea lion show, whale show… and during the holiday season, they have night time shows and my favorite was ice skating show. Through aquarium and other displays, I learned so much about marine animals and their habitat.
Everything they sell there comes with the high park cost. Rain poncho for example was $ 20, good to purchase prior to visit from some other store for ¹⁄₁₀^th of the price or sit far away from the wet zone.
I purchased the quick queue, this was very helpful as it cut down on wait time significantly. All you can eat meal plan, I am not sure if I ate more than what I actually paid for this plan but it was convenient way to go as I didn’t have to carry the money. If I were to come back, I would probably opt out for a meal plan and eat only what I want to eat. Locker is available for rent, $ 1 for one hour and they have different plan for up to $ 15 per day. Some rides require you to put everything in a locker and they are strategically located near those rides.
Look for discount tickets online prior to your visit, also contact your hotel (if you are staying somewhere close to the Park) as they might have special discount available as an official hotel of the park.
Enjoy the visit and contribute to save the marine animals! I definitely would like to come back to visit the Sea World again, and next time would like to buy that cute dolphin stuffed animal to take home. (I couldn’t do so this time as I only had one carry-​on luggage.)

Christmas at Seaworld is a must! The festival of trees across he water is gorgeous. It snows at night! Kids had a blast. Polar express ride was the best I have ever seen. Kids loved Santa and the animals inside were fabulous.
Another must was the Penguins — it was freezing in there but worth it. We were Lucky enough to be there when u could feed the sea lions and boy did we feed them. Birds were super aggressive and one of my kids was terrified when it swooped in and stole a fish.
Rides are well maintained and staff is extremely friendly.

Sea World really takes me back to childhood and the excitement of seeing the Shamu performance.
Sea World really appeals to me because they have my favorite sea creatures. I really enjoy viewing the whales, dolphins, penguins, sea turtles, manatees, and seals. Most of these beautiful animals aren’t easily viewed without going out into the open ocean, but here you can watch them up close.
I love the variety of attractions at the park as well. In addition to the aquariums there are rides and shows. One could spend an entire day viewing and enjoying. Kids and adults alike can have a good time.

I struggle between a 3 and a 4, but went low for a few reasons.
Employees weren’t professional. There was a marked difference between employees between Universal and SeaWorld that I visited during this same week. Whether it was constantly checking my daughter’s height (38″), and not giving her (I didn’t find out until later) the wristband declaring her height, the general inattentiveness, etc… it just felt like a theme park in disarray. The final straw was when the Antarctica ride (the only way to see the penguins) suddenly went down when I was next in line. I get it, things happen. But there were 3 employees just standing there the entire time. We never got updates as to if it would ever be fixed, we never got express tickets so we could just come back later, nothing. I waited 30 minutes with my 3-​year old before getting out of line. Eventually, they finally let some people go through to see the penguins without the ride. But by then, we’d had it. Just a little more professionalism, please.
Furthermore, a lot of the kid rides were getting of age — the Shamu rollercoaster was quite jarring for a kid ride, and extremely short. Instead of cramming a bunch of old, small rides you can do at any city fair, I’d think they would renovate a little and make it better.
Otherwise, the Shamu show and dolphin show were nice. The sea lion show went downhill from the last time I was here almost 10 years ago. The food prices were outrageous. $ 13 for a souvenir cup, and then you only save $ 1 (still $ 4!?) on small ICEE refills? My God, that’s a lot of ICEEs to recoup that cost. No lids or straws was annoying (I know, I know, animal safety). The best deal in the park was the ice cream waffle bowl for $ 6 — enough for two, and comes with a topping (hot fudge!) and whipped cream. Considering they charge $ 4 for a crappy iced coffee next door, I say that’s a park bargain!
Kraken and Manta were great — Manta really perfected the feeling of flying, with a lot of 0G «floating» turns. Sit in the front seat, for sure. The big cargo net area for kids seemed to attract a lot of attention — but it also made the pirate ship with a little cargo net a waste of space… the ship cargo net was not easily climbable by kids that wouldn’t be on the big net play structure in the first place. The splash area was small, and the $ 5 «dryer» was a crazy money grab.
In summary, I guess what I’m trying to say is that for a $ 100 SeaWorld park ticket, I was disappointed. I can’t imagine needing a second day in this park. The turtle exhibit was nice but all the exhibits other than the shows just felt like a zoo. Even Disney is getting the hint that zoos aren’t amusement parks, and is ready to revamp Animal Kingdom. I hope, like they did with Manta, that SeaWorld keeps improving on this park, too. I might be back in a few years, and we’ll see what happens.

Came to sea world as part of the discovery cove package, be sure to catch all of the open coves (stingrays, Dolphins, manatee… well worth it)
Blue Horizons show was awesome!
Did the dining deal, beware, some foods are not included, i.e. Could only get ribs or chicken at the bbq (brisket had an up charge)…still a great deal.

Seaworld is one and only one. Its megic all about this park. Some people say its not good for this animals and some say its good for them. Animals there looked happy. We all know its not natural open ocean but they care of them with all
heart. Every one who visit this park will find tears in eyes but its amazing what they can do with them. U need take all day to see all. Its little $$$ but again we all know how expensive must be run this park and feed all this lovely animals.

SeaWorld is a nice Orlando park, but I think it’s especially worthwhile for specific audiences– families with young children, young animal lovers, and Florida residents.
SeaWorld is one of the more quiet Orlando theme parks, which makes it a nice spot for Florida residents because it’s not wall to wall people. They have good deals on Funcards where you can pay for a day + a small fee to come back all year. They also have great deals if you are coming into the park with a pass holder. We purchased our tickets at 50% off and behind the scenes tours at 30% off because we knew a pass holder. Everything is less expensive than some of the larger parks, but it is less «magical» than the other parks in the area.
There are lots of great rides and learning experiences for younger audiences and animal lovers– Antartica and the Penguins was the crowd favorite for us. They offer «mild» and «wild» ride options, which is great for all families. They have fun family-​friendly shows and they also offer two great roller coasters and a large water ride for thrill-​seekers. Shamu’s happy harbor is a huge play area where kids run off all of their extra energy.
Another thing I appreciate about SeaWorld is that they offer nice options to beat the Florida heat. There are splash pads thought the park, indoor/​air conditioned shows like Pets Ahoy, and COLD exhibits like Penguins and Wild Arctic.
It’s definitely worth visiting if you are one of the audiences above. It’s especially great if you get a deal and don’t have to pay full price!

I was pretty apprehensive to come here, but I had a good time! I was in Orlando unexpectedly, but if you know when you’re going, buy tickets online and save yourself some money.
A lot of people protest about animal cruelty and Blackfish (which I’ve never actually seen), but the trainers seemed concerned for both patrons’ and animals’ safety alike.
My best tip is to come here at opening time and hit up the most popular attractions when they open (Antartica, rollercoasters, Atlantis) so you don’t waste time and effort in the sun waiting. You can get a Quick Queue pass, but that’s extra money you don’t need to spend. Also, try to come on a weekday/​off-​peak season.
Also, plan out/​map out your itinerary and you can easily see/​walk through the entire park in one day. Prioritize the shows as they’re the highlight of SeaWorld (look up my individual reviews) and arrive at each show 15 minutes early to settle in/​guarantee your entry, as it WILL ruin plans if you don’t.
From opening, I spent two hours on rides, then watched shows until lunch time, had lunch at the Fajita place (meh, but what do you expect at a theme park. Don’t buy the unlimited pass; it’s very limited in where and what you can redeem.), and then continued to watch shows. All in all, I had watched every show and ridden every ride by 6PM.
Also, go and check out some of the feeding sites; they’re pretty cool. The feed is expensive, so I just went and touched stingrays and watched seals, and it was still great.
My favorites include: Kraken, Manta, Stingray Feeding, Seal Feeding, Pets Ahoy (Show), Blue Horizons (Show), One Ocean (meh experience, but this is what a lot of people come for), Antartica (come here early, lines get to be 1 hour long).

I enjoy the Orlando area and the best part are the multiple activity selections. I went to Sea World due to me being able to go for free. I do the rollercoasters and rides but it can be on the sad side when you stop to think about the numerous captured animals taken from their natural habit to be an attraction. I’m all for rescuing animals but its more than that at Sea World. No we don’t see abuse but the fact that these animals are in a capture state is truly sad. I would recommend eating before or after on the strip because the food is overpriced and average at the less. I love the henna stations and the employees are helpful and friendly to assist you.

Sea world is an amusement park located in Orlando, Florida. We use to go all the time and haven’t been in a long time. We recently purchased annual passes and we have been there a couple of times since. I think this is a really great park for families. We went over the weekend with some friends and their four kids.
What I like about Sea World is that there are rides, shows and animal interactions you can do. We started our morning with feeding the stingrays. It was so weird but it was neat, especially for the kids. The food was not too expensive as well. They have a variety of rides, roller coasters and lighter rides for families. The shows are fun and nice to sit down and relax for a bit. I think my favorite ride was the Penguin Encounter ride. It was so different and fun and then it ends right by the penguins. I absolutely love penguins so it was so neat because you are so close.
You can feed the dolphins but I think that this was probably one of the things I didn’t like. It was very expensive for a bowl of fish. Also, you have to be put into an area so for all of us to go over and even watch we would have to pay for all the kids and all the adults. I was a little disappointed that we couldn’t pay for the kids and just stand with them.
There was a lot of restaurants but like I said we hadn’t been there in so long so we just picked the first one we saw. It was ok. On the way out we saw a restaurant that had different type of Mexican food, so we will eat there next time.
I think this is a great place to take kids, they can learn all about animals and they can get really close to them. It is not too crazy, everyone visiting just seemed to be almost relaxing, which was really nice. I definitely think on a vacation to Orlando, this is a must stop place. One tip I can give for sure is take advantage of the refillable cups. Its one price and free refills all day.

Ein Hammer Tag! Ich war heute mit meinem Partner in dem Park! Es war wunderschön!
Als erstes das negative! Das einzige was es für mich zu meckern gibt, ist das Wasser und das Essen! Da wir im Vorfeld schon gelesen haben, dass das Essen nicht so gut ist, haben wir uns mit Kräckern den Tag über selber versorgt! Als unser Wasser leer war, gingen wir an die Spender! Das Wasser ist für mich ungenießbar! Es schmeckt so abartig nach Clor!!!
Abgesehen von der artgerechten Haltung hin oder her, waren die Shows das Highlight! Bei der Orga kullerten zwei kleine Freudentränen und bei der Delfinshow musste ich richtig weinen vor Freude/​Glück! Es war so wundervoll anzusehen und ich liebe Delfine .
Die Achterbahnen sind auch alle richtig genial! Bei der Wasserbah wurden wir bis auf Haut nass, da und zum Ende noch Leute komplett nachgeschossen haben einfach Wahnsinn, aber nicht gerade günstig (parken kostet nochmal Carola 17 – 20 $)

Sea World ist ein absolutes muss vorallem die Orka Show sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen. Es gibt in Sea World viel zu entdecken und zu erkunden von Tiershows bis hin zu Achterbahnen sowie ein Spielparadis für die Kinder ist alles mit dabei.

OK, der Park ist ja schon fast ein Muß bei einem Besuch in Orlando, FL. Meine Familie wollte gerne hierher, also habe ich (nicht ganz freiwillig) zugestimmt.
Ich persönlich bin allerdings kein Freund von Orka– und Delphin-​Shows, obwohl diese sicherlich beeindruckend anzuschauen sind. Mir kann aber keiner erzählen, dass die Tiere glücklich sind und gaaaanz freiwillig Saltos springen und aus dem Becken «hüpfen». Gerade diese Meerestiere orten Wassertiefe und Gegenstände mittels Radar (oder Sonar? — jedenfalls sowas in der Art). Ob das bei der extrem lauten Musik, die während der Vorstellungen läuft, so gut für die Tiere ist? Letztlich ist es auch egal. Solange die Zuschauer dorthin strömen (und das tun sie in Massen), wird sich das eh nicht ändern.
Ansonsten gibt es die üblichen Attraktionen, die auch ein Heidepark in Soltau zu bieten hat. Achterbahnen, teure Fressbuden und Souvenirshops.
Tipp: Die Tickets vorher online kaufen und ausdrucken. Das spart 10 $ je Ticket gegenüber dem Kauf am Parkeingang!

Vorausgesetzt man hat kein grundsätzliches Problem damit, daß hier Wildtiere in engen Bassins gehalten werden und nichtartgerecht gehalten und dressiert werden, kommt man am Seaworld als «Muß”-Park fast nicht vorbei. Zusammen mit den Universal-​Studios war das Seaworld eine der Hauptattraktionen meiner Floridareise.
Die Shows und Attraktionen sind alke sehr professionell und suchen wirklich ihresgleichen! Beeindruckend, wenn man die riesigen Wale und Delphine und andere Tiere bei ihren interessanten Darbietungen beobachten kann.
Sehr beeindruckend und absolut empfehlenswert!

Seaworld Orlando ja das ist ein Thema für sich:
Früher hätte ich gesagt ein absolutes Muss für jeden Florida Urlauber. Ja Früher doch seit dem hat sich bei Seaworld sehr viel verändert:
Mit dem Verkauf an Bush Assheuer kehrte die proffesionelle Vermarktung bei Seaworld ein und die Aufklärung trat aus Kostengründen in den Hintergrund. Heute ist es ein Freizeitpark wie jeder andere, nur mit Fischen und Säugetieren.
Vieles wurde modernisiert überarbeitet oder kostenpflichtig trotzt des stolzen Eintrittspreises gemacht.
Seaworld ist nicht mehr das was es mal war, aber gleich wohl einen Besuch für jeden Erst-​Florida Urlauber wert. Allerdings würde ich dies in Kombination mit Discovery-​Cove machen, denn hier ist der Eintritt für Seaworld bereits mit drin.
Tipp:
Nutzt die Getränkeflatrate und besucht Seaworld in Verbindung mit einem Besuch von Discovery Cove. Der Tag ist zwar nicht ganz billig aber absolut empfehlenswert, insbesondere für gestresste Eltern.

es un parque espectacular, me encanto la manta y el espectaculo de los delfines y de shamu!!!, y el espectaculo de los leones marinos es para morirse de la risa!!!

mehr als nur Fische. Ein MUSS für jeden Orlandourlauber.

War Ende Juli 2011 mit meinem Sohn da.
Es war ein extrem heißer Tag. Mein Sohn war nicht so begeistert. Er hatte sich mehr Info vorgestellt. Das Essen fand er nicht besonders. Die Shows waren
ihn zu flach.

Wenn man einmal in seinem leben gefragt wird, was das schönste bsherige Erlebnis war und man dan beginnt von der Orka-​Show zu erzählen, sollte man nicht zu ausführlich werden, da diese Person sonst wahrcheinlich die nächsten Jahre seines Lebens vor den großen Aquarien von Sea-​World stehend verbringt. Mein Orlando besuch war eindeutig eines der schönsten reiseziele gewesen, die ich je ansteuerte und noch ansteuern werde.

Ich kann den Eintrag von dolly nur bestätigen…

Eigentlich liebe ich Tiere in Freiheit, aber in Seaworld ist die Haltung der Tiere den Umständen entsprechend bestmöglich. Ich habe das erste mal im Leben einen Delfin gestreichelt, es hat mich sehr beeindruckt!

Ein Muss wenn man in Orlando ist. Besonders die Delphine und Orkas sind atemberaubend schön. Für Kinder ein unvergesslicher Ausflug!

Un des nombreux parcs d’attraction présents à Orlando, celui-​ci ayant pour thème l’univers marin/​aquatique.
Au programme: Quelques attractions mais surtout des spectacles dans les grands amphithéâtres au milieux desquels d’énormes bassins aux parois transparentes tiennent place… dauphins, orques, manchots… Des mises en scèné époustouflantes qui plairont de 7 à 77 ans… une sorte de «super Nausicaa» à la sauce américaine !

Sehr schöner Themen-​Park in Orlando für Groß und Klein!
Es gibt Achterbahnen, Spiele und Tier-​Shows! (Delphine, Orcas, Seelöwen und Otter)
Wenn man an einem Wochenende kommt, wäre es ratsam vorher Karten im Internet zu kaufen. Und wer etwas mehr ausgeben kann, holt sich VIP Karten. Damit umgeht man das Anstehen an den Achterbahnen!

Die Orka-​Show hat mich am meisten begeistert!
Insgesamt ist das Angebot für Groß und Klein einfach super!

Hier kann man sich einen Tag lang vergnügen und zwischen den Unmengen von Exoten abschalten. Die Shows sind der Wahnsinn, ich habe sie noch vor dem schrecklichen Vorfall gesehen. Da dachte ich mir schon das es nur eine Frage der Zeit ist bis hier jemand nen Kopf kürzer ist. Eintritt und Parkgebühren sind etwas hoch für meinen Geschmack, aber im Urlaub achtet man ja bekanntlich nicht so sehr auf das Geld. Einen Stern Abzug für die hohen Kosten pro Person und Tag.

Echt stark gemacht. Insbesondere die shows und auch die Manta achterbahn ist cool !! Show im shamu Stadium ist nach dem Vorfall (Pfleger von killerwal bei Show getötet) deutlich zurückgefahren worden. Keiner geht mehr mit ins Wasser und Kommandos werdn von außen gegeben … Insgesamt ein geiler Tag !!! Parkgebühr 12 $ …

Volle Punktzahl ! Einzigartige Shows, nettes Personal, Artenvielfalt… Hammer. Als Nicht-​Amerikaner kommt man an jeder Ecke ins staunen. Ansonsten: Park und WCs sehr sauber, viel Hintergrundwissen wird vermittelt, Preise für Speisen & Getränke völlig ok. Natürlich lange Schlangen am Eingang, aber nach dem man die Autoschlange zum bezahlen der Parkgebühr bewältigt hat gings doch recht schnell. Eintrott recht teuer, aber das ist es wert !

Shows ohne Ende, Fische zum Anfassen und Erklärungen die man sonst nur über die Medien erfährt. Hinfahren!

Typisch amerikanischer Tierpark: Musikbeschallung und Tiershows. Aber eben auch gut gemacht. Es kommt einiges an Atmosphäre rüber und man kann auch mit Kindern hin.
Die Achterbahnen (Rollercoaster) sind nicht ohne. Die Journey to Atlantis Wasserrutsche ist echt nett. Aber man wird genauso wie bei der Walshow klatschnass ;-)
T-​Shirt ausziehen ist übrigens in USA tabu — auch für Männer. Da kann das T-​Shirt so nass sein wie es will

Hier gibt es nicht viel zu sagen. ausser hinfahren, ansehen und staunen. wunderschöner Park über alle Meeresbewohner, kombiniert mit Rollercoastern für den persönlichen Adrenalinschub. die Wal-​Dusche sorgt dann wieder für Abkühlung ;-)

Nun zur letzten Sehenswürdigkeit unseres Amerika-​Abenteuers, SEAWORLD
SeaWorld ist ein Familien-​Themenpark in Orlando, Florida.
Er bietet interessante Tierbegegnungen, Vorstellungen und Fahrten für seine Besucher an.
Die Haupttieranziehung in SeaWorld ist Shamu der Schwertwal und andere Schwertwale, die in einer Vorstellung auftreten.
Kinder genießen, dass sie Gelegenheit haben Delphine nicht nur zu sehen, sondern auch zu streicheln und zu füttern.
Sie können Pinguine und Eisbären in Natur erleben. Andere Tiere die man bewundern kann sind Rundschwanzseekühe,
Meerschildkröten, Haie, Seelöwen, exotische Vögel und viele mehr. SeaWorld hat auch eine atemberaubende Achterbahn mit dem Namen Kraken und eine inzeniert“Abenteuer Reise nach Atlantis” .
Die Shows sind die besten Möglichkeiten die Meerwelt zu erkunden, man sieht, wie die dressierten Tiere Kunststücke mit ihren Turnschuhen
(Shamu Vorstellung, Delphinvorstellung) tun, oder man kann einer lustigenVorstellung mit Clyde und Seamore (Seelöwen)ansehen .
Es ist leicht hier einen ganzen Tag zu verbringen.
Man sollte nur wetterfest gekleidet sein, es kommt durchaus vor, bei den Vorstellungen pitschnass zu werden.
Etliche Restaurants machen dem Hunger den Garaus.
Es ist allerdings nicht billig Seaworld zu erleben, die heutigen Eintrittspreise liegen bei:
60,00 $ für Erwachsene und Jugendliche 48,00 $
Kinder bis 9 Jahre sind frei.
