This is a great show for both adults and children as the storyline is easy to follow, with Sea lions and Walruses making the story real a fantastic show that lasts for approximately 20 minutes, but watch out for the mime at the beginning if you walk past him he will have the crowd laughing at you!!!!

$4 for one tray of fish, $7 for 2 trays or $10 for 4 trays. Definitely worth doing as this is such a great interactive experience you may never get the opportunity to do it again.

...a bit apprehensive about visiting Sea World. So many people had said to me about how cruel it is to keep animals in captivity.
Having visited Sea World in Orlando, my mind has been changed. I am convinced that these animals are happy to be there, although I did feel that some of the enclosures were a little small. Sea World rescue animals, and are keen to inform the general public on caring for animals, and our ecosystem. So, here is my opinion ... ...Where is it?
Sea World is easy to find. It is located near downtown Orlando at the intersection of Interstate 4 (I4) and the Bee Line Expressway. The park opens at 9am, and closing hours depend on the time of year.
Car Parking
Well, on this holiday we were quite lucky. Being with my brother in law who is disabled, we parked our van in a disabled parking space which is right opposite the entrance. Car parking cost $8, whether you are disabled or ...

If you are planning a trip to Orlando, Florida it is worth booking some of your trips in advanced to save time and money when you get there. You can buy the Orlando 4 or 5 park flexi ticket which includes Sea World, Wet n Wild, Universal Studios, Universal Islands of adventure and Busch Gardens. Anyway back to Sea World.

There are also a couple of rides to go on, plenty of shops and resturants around too. First we went straight to the rides and my family went on the Kraken, which is Florida's longest rollercoaster. I gave this a miss though and watched. Don't like them. Then we went on the journey to Atlantis which is a boat ride which ...

Unlike MGM Studios, the previous day, we had to pay a parking fee. This was a tiny disappointing, but it didn’t bother me because I wasn’t paying! The whole day’s parking fee cost $7.00 (which is just under £5). Amazingly the car park was meters from the park so we didn’t have to go far. We paid for our tickets, which cost $51.95 (£32.27) for adults and $42.95 ...

Ok, so how accessible is it?

It is well signposted and easy to find.
Car parking?
Well, you are going to pay $9 just to park here. Pay an extra buck and you can park in the "preferred parking" zone. This is right outside the gates and saves walking miles to get to the entrance. However, the amount of walking you will do inside, it really does not matter.

Advantages: Appeals to all - young and old! Disadvantages: you dont wana leave!!
Having been to sea world throughout my life a good 7 times I can quite safely say that it is an incredible experience and a amazing place for the whole family to visit! Im 18 and have loved it since I was a baby, my 4 year old brother is impossible to please and has the attention span on a gnat and yet went 3 times and wanted to go again! It really does appeal to the whole family!
The newest dolphin show; blue horizons is worth the admission fee ... ...breathtaking dolphin show keeps everyone in the audience captivated! Shamu Rocks and Believe are amazing Killer whale shows, where without a doubt you get soaked! We sat at the front and came out looking like we'de been for a swim, but it just completes the experience (as long as your cameras are well out the way!)

Chill out at Sea World Orlando. This park is so different from the others in Orlando. It offers a pleasant break from the usual hussle and bussle theme parks.
My family and I, have been fortunate to go to Orlando 5 times and on the first 3 occasions we declined visiting Sea World because we were so against taking animals from their natural habitat to use them as entertainment for the crowds. How wrong were we. Sea World pride themselves on being ... ...The whole atmosphere of Sea World is calming and relaxing. When you are walking around the park, at no time do you ever get the feeling of crowds or rushing, even on the busiest days. We love it. After parking (there is a charge approx $5) you walk the few yards to the entrance. When we last visited, the daily entrance charge was $35. You can hear carribean type music playing from loudspeakers. Once through the entrance you can take any number of ...

Sea Lion and Otter Stadium
See Clyde and Seamore take on a pirate island. This is another show with a set of a pool and ship in front of the stand. The main, and only characters are the weasel, a sea lion and an otter. It is very good for all the family, yet also showing how good sea-lions are at swimming. Arrive early to see a highly amusing clown jest at the audience.

Penguin Encounter
This is rather like several other exhibits, you go into a building and walk around a set of corridors where you can learn about the penguin and a few other animals that live with them; then you can see them behind a glass screen underwater and above the water. Again, they have plenty of room and the conditions are simulated to replicate their 'home' environment.

There was a great complex with all the dangerous sea creatures. You could walk through a tunnel with sharks swimming all around you and there were some vicious looking brutes I can tell you.

Sea World this is said to be the worlds most popular marine life park. Theres fun, education and marine research. It covers an area of 200 acres and is situated just off International Drive on the Bee Line 10 minutes south of downtown Orlando.

If you love animals then Sea World is a great place to visit, if you don’t like fish then stay away!!
This year they have had two new rides built in Sea World which are more of the ‘white knuckle’ type. The first is a roller coaster, much like Nemesis but they don’t do things in halves in America and it’s probably three times longer than Nemesis and much faster, you also spend a lot more time upside down! The other ... ...Most things to see at Sea World are shows. The biggest show is with Shamu, the killer whale. There have been a few more additions to the Shamu family since I first went to Florida more than ten years ago! There are about six whales now I think. Other shows include dolphins, sea lions, and there is a show with rescued pets, cats, dogs etc. Very cute!!

Sea World is much more than just a place to go visit - it's a place that makes you aware of another realm to this world that we live in. It's a learning experience; you can see various ocean and river mammals, plus all manner of fishes, and learn about their natural habitat, diet, etc. Of course, the highlight of any trip to Sea World is Shamu - it is amazing to see how graceful this huge mammal can be, and to realise it has only been a few decades ... ...the cruelest of ways.
