SeaWorld Orlando

SeaWorld Orlando is a 200-acre property showcasing theme park-style rides, unique shows and attractions, and animal experiences. SeaWorld Orlando is part of a family of parks that includes Aquatica, Discovery Cove, Busch Gardens, and Water Country U.S.A..

SeaWorld is both famous and infamous. Its grand shows, featuring dolphins and Orcas, have been both celebrated and criticized, with the brand’s image being debated in the media and public opinion. We’re going to focus on the logistics of planning a SeaWorld visit, from tickets to parking to attractions.
