Darling it’s better, down where it’s wetter, take it from me! Disney is so close by, we just couldn’t help ourselves, and SeaWorld is definitely the place to go if, like Sebastian the crab, you like it Under The Sea!
But SeaWorld isn’t just for lovers of aquatic mammals and sea life, it’s also filled with heart-racing rides, entertaining shows, and tasty treats, plus events throughout the year which will only enhance your experience.
So, whether you’re young at heart or an actual young person (or an adult who just wants to go on some rides, we don’t judge…), read on for everything you need to know to plan your visit to the park! Plus, when you book your tickets with Klook you can be sure of free parking and the best prices.

Rides
Infinity Falls
Beneath a canopy of lush green foliage and surrounded by towering trees you’ll find a raft to board. Journey past drenching waterfalls to unearth the secrets of this lost rainforest river. Hold on tight as you go over the world’s tallest river rapid drop.
Manta
Inspired by the natural movement of stingrays, Manta is the only coaster in Orlando that lets you skim over the water face-down in an inverted nose dive and careen in a whirl through the air.
Kraken
For sheer roller coaster thrills, you can't beat Kraken. With seven full inversions and a 120-foot loop, this monster, floorless coaster reaches heights of more than 150 feet during its breathless run.
Mako
Named after the ocean's fastest shark, this beast is currently the longest, fastest and tallest roller coaster in Orlando. With speeds of up to 73 heart-pounding miles per hour and soaring 200 feet above the earth, this is one roller coaster that takes no prisoners. Can you handle it?
Journey to Atlantis
Based on the mythological ‘lost’ city of Atlantis, this combination log-flume/roller coaster takes you through sunken waterways before plunging you into sprays of shimmering water.
Coming Soon: Ice Breaker
The steepest beyond-vertical drop in Florida is soon to arrive. Watch this space!
Top Tips
- The best way to ensure you maximise your time, especially if you’re only going for one day is to get there early - arrive 30mins before the park opens to park your car and get on the rides first! Dress for the weather. Florida is hot and humid, and you’ll definitely get soaked on some (most) of the rides, so light, quick-dry clothing is a must! We also recommend bringing a jumper, as the Arctic attractions in particular can get a bit chilly
- Go on a weekday if you can as the park isn’t as busy (except in the height of summer) so you’ll have less queuing times on the attractions
- Download the park app and plan out your day. See up-to-date park info such as wait times and showtimes
- If you’re going to see a show, get to the location 20mins before it starts - some of them have limited seating, and that way you can be sure you won’t miss out
