Sea World Florida. The World's BEST Marine Life Adventure Park
Sea World Florida is one of the most popular theme parks in Orlando!
If you love marine life, you'll love Sea World!
There's tons to do at the park, so you should plan ahead in order to see all the shows
and exhibits on offer.
The most famous show of all features the park's mascot, Shamu the killer whale (....and friends!) Their spectacular performances will showcase their amazing talents as they twist, turn, jump and flip along with their humans trainers.
Other shows at Sea World Florida are equally entertaining, these are:-
Pets Ahoy
Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island
Blue Horizons
Odyssea
Visit my shows page for more info and pictures!
The marine life exhibitions here are really worth seeing! There's an Antarctic polar research station called Wild Arctic that will give you the chance to see beluga whales, walruses, and polar bears up close. You'll also get to see and even feed some of the smaller (...and less deadly!) creatures including dolphins, stingrays, sea lions and penguins.
Sea World Florida doesn't have many rides, but the ones that it does will certainly get your attention! The Kraken.
is a foot-dangling style, super fast, super tall roller coaster. The Journey to Atlantis is a log-boat style ride which culminates in an almighty plunge which will inevitably soak you to the skin!

Sea World Florida: What To Bring
Comfortable shoes to wear! You'll be spending a lot of time walking around and standing, so make sure you have some tennis shoes.
Sunscreen is a must! The Florida sun really is very strong and it can take you by surprise and within a few hours you can be sunburnt. This is very uncomfortable as I'm sure you know, but also the red lobster look isn't too cool on vacation! I'd say use at least SPF factor 15 + and to be safe use 30+ for young children.
Make sure to bring plenty of water with you. It's probably going to be hot and you'll want to stay hydrated. Even if its not hot, why pay the park prices for drinks when you can bring your own!
Don't wear denim jeans! You could well end up getting soaked on some of the rides or while watching the shows. Spending the rest of the day in soaking wet heavy denim will be miserable! And with the Florida humidity they won't dry out quickly either, so try to dress light!
Stop at a CVS or Walgreens (well known pharmacy stores in Florida) and pick up a waterproof camera and a poncho. Again, why pay park prices?! Buying a waterproof camera could save you from ruining your existing camera if it gets wet! A poncho will keep you dry especially if you're near the front row of the Shamu show.
