Sea World Orlando

Sea World Shows

Believe is a new show that tells the story of a boy who dreamed of swimming with a killer whale. He carves a necklace pendent out of wood in the shape of a killer whale’s tail. The boy was at the beach one day and he spots a killer whale. So he swims out to get a better look and that’s when the show starts. The whale jumps into the air and comes down with a huge splash! This show is a mixture of technology and natural wonders. Along the back wall of the stage there are 4 huge Plasma screens that can spin, tilt, or come together to create one large screen. This just adds to the excitement and finesse of the show.

The next show on the list is the show Blue Horizons. This is a show that features both Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and false killer whales. Also, in addition to the dolphins and whales, they also use exotic birds that fly around and into the audience. This mixture of air and sea comes together with music to create a spectacular show. The story line is set as a little girl that gets to experience the magic of swimming with the dolphins. This incredible show only lasts about 25 minutes but every second is action packed!

If its comedy you’re into then you’re looking for Clyde and Seymour. This is a very corky pirate show that is about 25 minutes long. When you go to see this show you definitely do not want to miss the pre-show.

Sea World Exihibits

Of course there is more to Sea World than just shows. There are many exhibits all through out the park. One exhibit that really stood out to me is the Shark Encounter. This exhibit takes you on an adventure into the deep. Here you can see all of the world’s greatest predators. From the poisonous lionfish to a dangerous reef shark! There is also moving walkway that takes you through a glass tube and above you are vicious man eating predators. As you venture through the tunnel you will smell food drifting through the air. This is from the Sharks Underwater Grill restaurant that is on the other side of the large tank.

Another great exhibit is the Penguin Encounter. As you walk inside of this snowy wonderland you can see the different type’s penguins and puffins. What is particularly interesting about this exhibit is the bi level view of the penguin’s habitat. You can see the underwater world and the above ground view.

If you‘re not really into the ice and snow, how about a trip to the Manatee Rescue? Here you can catch a glimpse of these slow moving sea cows that are native to the warm waters of Florida . Inside this brackish water estuary are six full grown females that share their home with gar and other brackish water fish. There are males but they are kept in the back for breeding purposes.

Our next stop on our Sea World journey is the Dolphin Cove. This exhibit is home to over twelve Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Here you can feed these wonderful animals and watch them in a controlled environment. If seeing them from the surface is not enough you can check out the underwater view for an exciting view through the dolphin’s eyes. Just outside of the Dolphin Cove is the Dolphin Nursery. There are several new born dolphins that were raised within Sea World. These cute little creatures are here to learn about you and for you to learn about them.

Wrapping up the Adventure

What I noticed and what millions of other visitors noticed is the décor of Sea World. When you first enter the park you will feel like you just got off a cruise ship and you have entered a sea side town. As your walking into the park you will come to a split in the road. Here you will find a lush flamingo habitat with large and small pink flamingos. At this location you can not only see the flamingos but learn about their lifestyle and their eating habits. From this point you can go to the area themed after Key West or head to the waterfront section that is themed after an old Mediterranean village.

Key West at Sea World will give you the feel of a tropical island at the southern tip of the continental United States . With tropical shops that line the sidewalks you will find something that will catch your eye. Even for the legal age smokers there are sections of the park that are designed for smoking. Key West has one of the most relaxing smoking sections in the park. Here you can enjoy all the wildlife that lives in the flamingo habitat. If you were to go to the right at the flamingo habitat you will discover an old Mediterranean village that is home to places like the Sea Fire Inn and many other shops and restaurants. This is the only place in Sea World where you can buy fine china and hand sculpted glassware that all bear the Sea World emblem.
