...easiest way to get to Seaworld is from Interstate 4 either exit 72 if you are coming from Orlando or exit 71 if you are coming from Tampa. Seaworld is signposted at both exits.
If you are coming from further in town get on International Drive and follow that and you will see Seaworld on your right hand side.
Parking…
Parking will cost you $10, all the parks charge extra for parking, something that I think is a bit steep considering what you pay ... ...gave us unlimited admission to Seaworld as well as the Universal parks and wet and wild.
This cost :-
Adult $ 194.95
Child $ 160.95
There are so many different tickets and multipark tickets that I would suggest either working with your travel agent or checking out what ticket is going to offer you the best value in advance of your visit.
As we had booked this as part of our package we could bypass the ticket buying part of the entry process.

Once inside Seaworld you will have to pay for the car park, which is $8 for a car and $9 for a recreational vehicle. You will then be directed to a parking space. Important note: Remember whereabouts you have parked! There are literally thousands of cars and once the car park fills up you will need to know which row you are in. The lane also has a number printed on it so memorise this, along with which row you are in. * Admission *

Phew. That's the boring stuff out of the way. Now onto the park! Firstly a Mack tip - after the barriers, on your right is an information booth. Grab yourself a map of the park. It's as big as a table mat and gives you the complete layout of where everything is. On the reverse side is a schedule of all the shows. There are 10 in total, all averaging between 20 and 30 minutes in length. Some of the shows only have 3 showings per day, ...

Entry to Seaworld is not simple. Depending on which type of ticket you have purchased, you may be asked to show photo ID, it is recommended to take your passport with you if you are not sure. Your bags will be checked by security before you enter. Personally I did not really find this much of a hindrance, in fact, with the state of the world as it is these days, I found it very reassuring. You may also encounter sniffer dogs..all part ...

Advantages: A fantastic animal park with two amazing rides Disadvantages: To far away to visit on a regular basis
Me and my girlfriend visited SeaWorld as part of a two week holiday to Orlando in April 2005.

...I got 2 years at SeaWorld too. Not bad for $159 (about £100). If you are just visiting for a holiday then you will ask, 'Why is she telling us this'. Well you don't have to be a Florida resident to get great deals. If you are visiting 2 or 3 times a year, as a lot of people I meet do, then this could interest you.

We visited Sea World last December during a two week trip to Orlando. The park made a relaxing change from the hustle and bustle of Disney World and we'd certainly return there given the chance.

When I went to seaworld I had purcahsed a Anheuser-Busch 14 day, five park flexticket.

When we got to the park, we simply handed the ticket over, and our times were confirmed. We watched the 3.00pm show, and when finished, about 3.45pm, we went to the restaurant.

SeaWorld at Orlando, Florida - A Wonderful Experience
SeaWorld is truly a wonderful experience. We have been to Orlando four times, and each time we have visited SeaWorld at least twice. There are two formidable roller coasters, the exciting Journey To Atlantis, and the awe-inspiring Kraken. In addition, for children there is more gentle Shamu Express roller coaster.

We visited Seaworld In September '06, and to be honest it wasn't packed out so we enjoyed the day with minimal queues. It is probably best to get a map immediately as it gives you all the show start times and durations so you can plan, it's best not to try and pack it all in to one day as you will miss something amazing.
