SeaWorld Avis 

Guckt euch Mark Robert lehmann an,was er über sea worl und wale in gefangenschaft erzählt. solltet ihr vielleicht angucken,bevor ihr diese tierquäler unterstützt. Der Film blackfish ist auch zu empfehlen.

We visited on September 30th and they had a Halloween celebration in Sea World. There were employees dressed as monsters that kept up pestering us at some of the park areas. This was very annoying as they came too close to us and kept yelling and hovering, making us feel very uncomfortable.
We are an old couple and it was not easy evading them.

Visited 26th of September.
Yes there was a hurricane that day , but seaworld was open as normal ( or so we thought) we decided to brave it and not waste our holiday .
It was very quiet ,a ghost town really .
we soon realised only Manta was working. The staff kept saying they couldn’t open rides as it’s unsafe due to the hurricane, But it’s apparently ok to let visits ride manta ?? and still testing the penguin ride but it was never to open that day .
The app said queue times was 5 minutes but then wasn’t open .one staff member confirmed they were short staffed .
At 2pm another shop worker told us sea world was closing and we can get a refund.
To be forced out of customer service and given a card with a number on to call and claim our refund .
we flew home on the 28th so wasn’t intending to attempt again.
We are now fighting with seaworld as they are refusing to refund us as we still went to the park.
We paid over $300 to walked round the shops and see a seal .
Will not be returning to this robbing park ! staff are rude . avoid!!
Soon to take your money and never put anything in writing, very sneaky !

Family of 5 and 1 child smaller than 54 inches. She couldn’t go in most of the rides so we asked for parents swap 3 times one of the staff told us to get a ticket, when trying to get the supposed ticket we were told there was not such a thing and that we had to go back to the beginning of the queue. As a result we could not enjoy some rides . Not sufficient we got stuck in a ride and were delayed to pick up our bags from the locker when we met a relly grumpy employee called Evans who said I will let you ( my husband) out of courtesy go, and you lot have to stay here.
While standing there I copped a barrage of abuse from this Evans person. That we were not supposed to be there, etc. when I said you could be more polite I was threat with security and then police ( as his own words “the police works for us”). On my kids life that was out of the blue… I said you could ask if we need help instead of blocking us from getting our backpack… he turned and said I don’t have to do anything the park is close. And I could call security right now and have you thrown out. Literally.
I am appalled with this park.
I spent my childhood in Florida and OMG never seen something like it!

One star for the coasters and one for the wait times. The only reason this park isn't bankrupt yet is because they try to scam you with their overpriced food and the lockers. You have to BUY a locker for 3 dollars per 2 hours or 12 dollars for a day (you still have to pay extra to get it out if you leave it closed for over 2 hour). Also the drinking fountains weren't working on a HOT day.

One of the staff members at 13:30 at the sesame street toilets at the 10th of September was really rude towards my boyfriend because he was waiting for me outside the restrooms, instead of asking nicely to wait somewhere else, she was really rude and onprofessional. We didn't had the energy to go to guest service to mention this. So i'll leave this here, tho i don't think they even care.

At least I can inform the rest of you that are in doubt wether to go here or not.

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.
