Absolute Tierquälerei
Wer dort hingeht hat vom Leben nichts verstanden
Und hier sind Biologen am Werk, ganz traurig

The equipment is not well maintained. Keep having technical difficulties. Shows are also not the best. Avoidable!

Toller Park mit vielen Attraktionen zum fairen Preis. Wesentlich besseres Preis/Leistung Verhältnis als die Disney Parks.

They should provide water bottle fillers throughout the park. Seaworld constantly talks about saving the planet, but they expect people to buy bottled water or use their paper water cups. POV - you are literally at a water park, but can’t find water.

Plan your day in advance. Choose your day on the website and look at the schedule for that day - it changes daily. A lot of shows are all over the park at specific times and you will be running all over the place if you don’t plan it in advance. Use the map. Have a Plan A and Plan B, in case of weather delay.
Buy your tickets online. It’s actually best to plan for two days so you can do half of the park one day and half of it and another day. There are packages you can buy if you get Discovery Cove you can add on multiple days at SeaWorld and Aquatica for the days surrounding your Discovery Cove visit. That’s what we did and it worked really well. Or you can buy a single day to Seaworld and when you get in, you can add on a season pass for around $30 so then you can come back as many times as you want.

We brought a backpack with bottled water and our favorite healthy snacks. There are plenty of food options at SeaWorld. We do a half-and-half situation - bring a couple snacks and fast food throughout the park. A lot of the food places do not serve water cups at SeaWorld so it’s good to bring bottled water and refill it if you can find water. There are no water bottle fillers. You must stand in a retailer line or food stand line to get water, so plan in advance so to stay hydrated. At the entrance they checked our bags for explosives and firearms. My food and water were under other supplies and weren’t noted.

Since we had multi day tickets, we started our day when it was comfortable for us, no stress in getting there early. We had a Plan A to get to our first show by 11am. We arrived by Uber at 10:30 and made it through the gates and to the Seal and Otter Stadium by 10:45.

When we arrived today, it was around 10:30 AM and there were a lot of people in line to buy tickets at the ticket booth and also at the electronic ticket station. It looked hot and miserable to stand in line and buy tickets when they could just buy tickets on their phone or from home before they arrived. I bet they were paying full price too. There are deals online. Our tickets are on our phone and we just walked right up to the entrance and then quickly through the ticket scanners. There were several short lines that moved quickly.

Bring: Sunscreen, small towel, ponchos, extra charger for phone, bandaids, printed map, Plan A and Plan B schedules. I also took photos of my plans. The SeaWorld app has a wonky map that helps by showing your current location.

SeaWorld area hotels will give you a water resistant map at their activities desk. You don’t have to be a guest to get the map in advance of your visit.

When we were First Timers, we paid in advance for the meal plan at the restaurants - it was a disaster. Long slow lines - literally over an hour wait. Do not do the meal plan. Instead pay the high prices for snacks, pizza, hot dogs, at the fast food stands. The lines are a million times shorter than the meal plan lines.

By planning in advance we saw so much more than when we were first timers. Sea Lions, seals, otters, penguins, manatee, sea turtles, walrus, beluga whales, sharks. Seems like our first time, we only saw dolphins, stingrays, and orcas. Definitely plan in advance. The parade is not worth planning your day around - it is cute, but quick. The Cirque shows are wonderful and about 20 minutes long. Ride lines are an hour long.

Over priced, they also closed all the atractions because of a 15 minute rain at 15:00 on 22/07/24 for more than 3 hours even after the rain and a fine enough weather. The food in all dining day average to minus and bad service.

Of course there is no compensation from the company I spent more than USD505 to ride 3 roller coasters, see some fish, dolphins and some orcas, queues very long mainly for Manta roller coaster and water falls (the attraction closed because of the rain and didnt open again before we enter). For a family that lives in Florida and with annual passes, maybe this is business as usual, but for me and my family, coming from Ireland and spending a lot of money to be there, the worst park we ever went. Terrible waste of time and money!!!

Maybe was better to go to Seaquarium in Miami.

HEARTLESS ANIMAL ABUSERS
I wonder how they sleep at night. Don’t go here, don’t support the terrible abuse etc. There’s way more about this place that you don’t know yet. The documentary Blackfish on Netflix gives a good picture of what these barbarians do and have done.

My family are gold members to the Orlando park. We have had a great time for years going there until we started take my son to the Sesame Street part of that park the last 2 times we gone there. May 30 2024 and June 29 2034. My sister has been discriminated twice trying to join with her family in a ride. My sister a little heavy but not crazy big. Come on she has road rides in Legoland. First time she was walked out when she was getting into a ride . Few minutes they had lady come into the same ride bigger then her? We did not make an issue because wanted family to be happy. Today it almost happened again in the same area ion a different ride. We were ready for it. Foot down. We are also Native American Sioux. Hmm? Of all areas . The kids area. Shame. My boy does not need to watch this. My sister and son was weirded out about what happened both times. The employees needs to learn ethics. Shame on Seaworld Orlando.

Horrible experience! My family came to sea world as one of our park choices on vacation. Big mistake. The parking was $32 and the parking lot was the wild west, no lot attendants just frantic people jockeying for any spot close (almost resulting in a fender bender in the lot) Then getting into the park was ridiculously disorganized. We bought a dining pass but after getting in we realized there was almost no where that accepted it, and the handful that did resulted in a 3-4 hour wait for food. There were constant bottlenecks in the park where paths to exits were rerouted or just plain blocked off. There was no clear direction or flow in the park whatsoever ever, and resulted in us not seeing really much of anything. The most aquatic life we saw was a minnow while we stood on the bridge trying desperately to find a way out of this abomination of a tourist trap. To top it off there were very strange guys in the men's bathroom near sesame street land in the park. It made me and my son very uncomfortable, and forced us to brave the dense crowds to find an alternate bathroom. I alerted a park attendant of this, but they pretty much shrugged their shoulders and moved on. It seems this park is coasting on the popularity of its successful name from the past with little concern to its customers. It felt like one big cash grab. We left after 2 hours (it took an hour just to get into the park) If you have a family on a budget take my advice, save your money and skip sea world.

You should be ashamed of yourself for firing the mime Lynn. Lynn had an altercation with security and you did not allow him to tell his side of the story. Seaworld is a disgrace!!!

Ticketing window lady accused me of faking being a veteran while trying to use the free veteran tickets they provide and gave the biggest attitude until she saw the evidence and confirmed I was a veteran; then she did a whole 180 trying to be nice. So if you’re a woman they don’t think you’re actually military. Thank you for my service, huh

SeaWorld is ABSOLUTELY cruel, they literally ABUSE their animals for no reason, and lock them up in small cages. SeaWorld should be sued, I went there yesterday and there was WHIP MARKS on those poor baby water animals. These babies deserve more. SUE SEA WORLD!

Seaworld Orlando they need to change the show was Shamu before I think they need a better show I thing know it’s very boring they talk to much than the show need more activity with the whales 🐳 long time ago they bring a guy with music and cameras to the show customers so happy before love when they send the birds true the public so amazing I have the anual pass but thinking to cancel next time hope they change for better to ec

I tried to see the show but there’s no more seats and we was told that standing on the stairwell ON ONE SIDE NOT BLOCKING THE PATHWAY WAS A FREAKING SAFETY HAZARD! And was told to move so we went to the other side away from the reserved side and everyone was standing on the stairwell and I asked are you going to say something to them too?! Of course he said he will but guess what they’re still there!!! DO NOT EXPECT FOR PEOPLE TO JUST STAND AROUND YO WATCH THE SHOW IF YOU DINT HACE ENOUGH SEATS!!!!! Ridiculous!!!!! Came from out of state for this kind of treatment from someone half my age…NO THANKS NOT COMING BACK!!!!!!

What you do to these animals is sick, let them go and close your park. You are horrible human beings.

Let the whales go. Stop abusing animals for your own profit, it’s shameful and disgusting.

It's unbelievable that this is still allowed to go on. It's animal cruelty, imprisonment, exploitation and abuse for money. Reward and punishment to perform like circus animals, they need thousands of square miles of ocean to live happily. The government must be turning a blind eye because its big money. Every incident is blamed on the trainer because they are cheaply replaceable, and they are just as accountable for the abuse. I'm surprised a lot more haven't been eaten. Maybe if they ate all the trainers this barbaric circus would stop.

We brought a 3 for 2 park ticket with all day dining from attraction tickets back in the uk before our visit. Once in Orlando we had to activate our tickets at the self service ticket machine at the first park visit which was sea world. There was a queue at these machines which only 4 out the 8 were working and people were still having problems! When we redeemed our tickets no seaworld tickets came out the machine! There was NO staff around to help or ask questions and there was a very long queue to ticket kiosks to speak to anyone. So we proceeded to the gate with our paperwork which had a barcode thinking this must now be the ticket. The man scanned but no this didn’t work! So then was told we had to queue at the kiosks! This queue was as long as queuing for a ride at Disney! Anyway we had no option but to now get in this queue. This honestly took us over 1 hour to see someone to sort this out! Again there was 12 kiosks but only 4 open! My daughter who is pregnant did finally find someone to tell them that this wasn’t acceptable and was told “welcome to spring break” the park wasn’t even that busy! This queue was down to not enough staff working on the kiosks! We finally got into the park nearly 2 hours after arriving at the park!
On entry we were so hungry so went for food on our all day dining! More queues for food, slow service, no trays to carry food and salad for burger looking sad and limp! Finally sat down almost 3 hours after arriving at the park!
With a late entry to the parks we just missed dolphin show so had to wait around for a later show and then missed the orca show at 3.30 so then had to wait till 9.30 to see this show! My daughter is pregnant and we have a five year old so couldn’t race around the park like teenagers! Again this park wasn’t busy! The wait time for mako was 10 minutes! Such a frustrating experience!!

Awful place, this is just straight up animal abuse people. Please do your reseach before going to this place. It is absolutely mind blowing that this is still legal. Poor animals forced to live like this and entertain us.

The animal shows and interactions are fantastic for families day of adventure however the food is subpar even having the meal pass it was not worth the money

I registered for 2 preschool park passes for 2024.

The website stated that the tickets must be activated by a park visit by Feb. 29th, 2024. I was unable to visit the park by this deadline.

Instead, we visited both Seaworld parks the week of March 11th. I purchased tickets for the entire family, INCLUDING my 2 preschoolers because I knew the deadline that I had been provided by Seaworld had passed and therefore thought the preschool passes were not eligible.

Seaworld NEVER informed the preschool pass holders that the deadline to activate those passes had been EXTENDED TO MARCH 31, 2024.

Because I was unaware of this extension I ended up paying for 2 tickets for my preschoolers when we visited the park March 13 and 15th.

I called and spoke to 4 people at Seaworld including 2 supervisors who were all useless and kept giving me the same speech about not being able to refund used tickets, and they said it was my responsibility to check the preschool pass section of the website to check for updates...which is ridiculous. I had no reason to check that section of the website since I believed the deadline to use those passes had expired.

I simply want a refund for the 2 tickets purchased for the preschoolers and for my preschool passes to be activated so they are good for the year, since I legitimately visited the park prior to the new deadline. I was told NO. They also said I had to REVISIT the park to activate the preschool passes by March 31! Utterly ridiculous. Terrible, awful customer service with no desire to right a justifiable wrong.

We visit Seaworld with our family ever year and are consistent paying customers. I have paid over $2,000 to visit your parks. I will no longer do so if this situation is not remedied fairly and justly.
