SeaWorld Orlando Top Tips for Kids and
Parents Alike
Delighting audiences for more than
three decades, "Sesame Street" has docked at SeaWorld Orlando,
boasting an all-new Breakfast with Elmo and Friends character
connections and an exclusive musical stage production, Elmo and
the Bookaneers. Check your park map for show times and be
sure to make your reservations for character dining early.
Did you know there is a cozy Baby
Care Center in the back of Shamu's Happy Harbor? With
top-of-line changing facilities, private feeding rooms and pint-size
potties, this new building gives parents the privacy and comfort of
a home-away-from home in the middle of all the fun.
Bring a waterproof camera to capture
great action shots of the kids in the "Shamu Soak Zone"
Don't miss Shamu's Happy Harbor,
SeaWorld's wildly popular 4-acre play area. It's a kid's dream
come true, complete with three new rides, a 4-story net climb and a
great place for parents to relax in the shade.
Hand-feed sea lions, dolphins and
stingrays in various areas of the park. Check the feeding times when
you arrive and plan to get there early!
Look for Shamu & Crew characters from
9am to noon near the front gate. Be sure to bring a notepad
for autographs!
Check out the Question and Answer
session at the Penguin Encounter (when available). A penguin
expert answers questions while feeding and interacting with the
penguins inside the icy habitat. One lucky guest who answers a
special question correctly will get to go behind the scenes.
Try out dozens of interactive
workstations and computers located throughout SeaWorld. For
example, kids can test their lungpower against a walrus in Wild
Arctic, or see how a manatee grinds its food at Manatee Rescue.
Take your seat for the sea lion and
otter show at least 45 minutes before Clyde and Seamore take over
Pirate Island. You won't want to miss the zany pre-show
antics.
Temperatures in Orlando can get quite
high, especially in the middle of summer. Plan to take in
these "cool places" when the thermometer rises: Wild Arctic, Penguin
Encounter and Nautilus Theater.
Arrange to have lunch when one of
SeaWorld's popular animal shows is going on in the stadiums.
This is when restaurant limes are shortest!
