SeaWorld Orlando: Park Admission Ticket

About This Experience

This is an official admission ticket to SeaWorld Orlando, and the option you pick decides what else comes with it. The base option is 1-Day General Admission. Other options add a second or third park from Aquatica Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island, an All-Day Dining Deal at participating restaurants, or shuttle transportation between parks. Single-day tickets are valid on your selected date, and multi-park tickets must be used within 14 consecutive days of your first visit.

For thrill seekers, SeaWorld's headline coasters are Mako, Orlando's tallest and fastest, the flying-style Manta and Pipeline: The Surf Coaster. Penguin Trek is a family launch coaster themed as a research mission through Antarctica that ends at a real penguin habitat. Between rides you can watch the killer whales at Orca Encounter, see dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and rays in large habitats, and catch the educational animal presentations scheduled through the day.

Younger children have Sesame Street Land, with kid-sized rides and the chance to meet Elmo and friends. If you add parks, Aquatica is a water park with Reef Plunge, the Loggerhead Lane lazy river and sandy beaches, while Busch Gardens Tampa Bay pairs coasters such as Iron Gwazi with an accredited zoo. Adventure Island in Tampa is a second water park. Plan the Tampa parks as separate days, since they are not in Orlando.

Parking is not included unless your option says so, and towels, lockers and cabanas are rented on site. The parks are cashless, so bring a card or phone payment, and outside food and coolers are not allowed. This ticket suits coaster fans and families who want marine life alongside rides. If you only want animals and no rides, or you have no car, weigh the cost of parking and transport first.
