Shamu, Sesame Street, and Seriously Fast Coasters: Your Guide to SeaWorld Florida
Florida: land of sunshine, questionable fashion choices (fanny packs, anyone?), and enough theme parks to keep you busy for a year. But if you're looking for a place that combines thrilling rides, adorable animals, and shows that are equal parts educational and outrageous, then look no further than SeaWorld Orlando!

| What is At Seaworld Florida |
Creatures Great and Small (and Shamu-Sized)
Shamu who? Well, for those of us who grew up glued to the TV, Shamu was basically the Michael Jordan of orcas. While Shamu himself has passed on, SeaWorld Orlando is still home to a whole pod of these incredible animals. You can catch them performing amazing feats (seriously, how do they jump so high?) in the classic shows, or just watch them cruise around their pools in awe of their majesty. But Shamu isn't the only star here! You'll also find dolphins, beluga whales, manatees, and a whole bunch of other fascinating creatures.
Warning: Cuteness overload potential in the Sesame Street Land™ area. Prepare for pictures with Elmo that will make your friends say, "Awww, that's adorable!"
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Faster Than a Seagull on Red Bull: The Rides
Need a break from all the learning (gasp!)? SeaWorld Orlando throws fear out the window with some seriously gasp-worthy rides. We're talking floorless coasters that dangle you upside down (Kraken™), hypercoasters that make you feel like you're about to launch into space (Mako®), and even a flying coaster that lets you experience the world like a manta ray (Manta®).
Not into the whole "losing your lunch" thing? No worries! There are plenty of tamer rides for the less adventurous (or those who recently ate a questionable gas station hot dog). Take a spin on the classic carousel, paddle around the lake, or conquer the thrills of the Sesame Street™ themed rides.
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
More Than Just Rides and Shows (But Seriously, Those Rides Are Awesome)
Feeling peckish? SeaWorld Orlando offers a variety of food options, from classic theme park fare (think funnel cakes and giant turkey legs) to sit-down restaurants with more substantial meals.
Want to learn more about the amazing animals you just saw? Check out the educational talks and presentations offered throughout the day. You might even get a chance to get up close and personal with some of the park's residents (with a safe barrier between you, of course).
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
