SeaWorld Orlando is a great park for coaster enthusiasts and animal lovers. The expansive park shows off all sorts of creatures from the depths of the sea, including dolphins, whales and adorable penguins. Adults will love the high-speed coasters like Kraken and Manta, while kids will enjoy seeing their favorite Sesame Street friends at Sesame Street Land. Be sure to ride on the Sky Tower to see the entire park from a bird’s-eye view and get a panoramic vista of Orlando.
What’s new: Expedition Odyssey is the newest attraction at the park. It simulates the feeling of flying over the Arctic with sweeping views of glaciers and icebergs. After the ride ends, you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of Arctic animals like beluga whales and walruses.
Time Out tip: You can schedule tours to learn more about some of the animals at SeaWorld, including dolphins, sea lions, penguins and sharks. Tours should be made ahead of time, but there are sometimes slots available at the park.
