You can watch dolphins, sharks, manatees, penguins and other sea creatures in their habitats. Visitors also can walk through glass tunnels to see sharks up close or have a friendly encounter with dolphins.
The best of the rides is Kraken, a roller coaster created for an old Greek mythical sea monster. You are taken to the depths of the sea in this monster at a speed of 65 mph while your feet are dangling. Another good one is "The Journey to Atlantis," which is a wild adventure to discover the lost mystical city of Atlantis.
SeaWorld also offers a midway, where you can win prizes; shows; and Shamu's Happy Harbor, which was created for kids. Happy Harbor is filled with palm trees and giant pink flamingos, and there are tunnels, slippery slides and flamingo-style paddle boats.
SeaWorld is open year-round beginning at 9 a.m. and has extended hours during the summer and on public holidays. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or at a discount online. Discounted package deals are available that include tickets to other attractions, such as Aquatica and Busch Gardens.
Other interactive fun includes feeding sharks and touching rays. For an extra fee, you can even kiss a beluga whale and feed a dolphin.
