Start your first morning by entering through SeaWorld Orlando Main Entrance and grabbing a park map and show times; head straight to Manta for an exhilarating coaster warm-up and then stroll to Ocean Explorer to explore interactive exhibits and see juvenile sea turtles up close. Pause for a mid-morning snack at Voyager's Smokehouse or the Seafire Grill patio, then join a guided behind-the-scenes Animal Rescue Center talk to learn about rehabilitation efforts and meet the staff caring for rescued marine life.
After a morning of coasters and Ocean Explorer, wander over to Shark Wreck Reef to watch feeding demonstrations and learn about shark conservation from park educators, then cool off with a leisurely ride on Infinity Falls for a splashy, scenic raft trip. Follow up with a relaxed late-afternoon visit to Sea Lion & Otter Spotlight to catch the playful training session, and grab an early dinner at Mama's Pretzel Kitchen or the waterfront Lakeside Grill to recharge before evening shows.
As the sun dips, head for a relaxed waterfront evening at SeaWorld's Bayside Harbor, where you can stroll the promenade, enjoy live music, and sample small bites from Bay Harbor Market while watching boats drift by. Follow up with a magical nighttime animal presentation at Electric Ocean (seasonal light-and-music show) and finish the night with dessert and views from Dockside Dessert Bar, soaking in illuminated lagoon reflections before calling it a day.
Begin your day with an up-close animal encounter at the Dolphin Nursery Exhibit, where you can watch caretakers feed and socialize with the calves and learn about their growth and enrichment programs. From there, stroll to Turtle Trek for the 3D-immersive theater experience and then join a hands-on sea turtle talk at the nearby Sea Turtle Rescue Station to deepen your understanding of rehabilitation efforts and conservation-perfect continuity after yesterday's Animal Rescue Center visit.
After a hands-on morning, head to Wild Arctic for an immersive habitat walkthrough and a close-up look at belugas and walruses, then catch the lively training demonstration at Sea Lion & Otter Spotlight to see behaviors and care techniques in action. Follow with a relaxed lagoon cruise on SkyTower for park-wide views, then cool down and learn at Penguin Encounter where keeper talks explain their enrichment and feeding routines before an early-evening show.
Wind down your day with a sunset stroll to Bayside Harbor for live music and waterfront snacks at Bay Harbor Market, then catch the immersive nighttime spectacle Ignite - A SeaWorld Celebration (seasonal production) to enjoy lights, music, and fountains over the lagoon. After the show, savor a leisurely dessert and nightcap at Dockside Dessert Bar while reflecting on the day's animal encounters and planning favorites to revisit tomorrow.
Ease into your final morning with a peaceful stroll through Parkside Garden Walk, watching birds and tidal life while enjoying coffee from Seaworld Café Terrace, then head to the interactive touch pools at Nautilus Nursery to handle tide-pool creatures and chat with keepers about long-term care programs-perfect after the rescue and nursery visits earlier in the trip. Finish with a short, scenic ride on the Water Taxi to nearby Discovery Cove Partners Dock for a relaxed preview of the lagoon habitats and to plan any optional, low-key marine experiences for the afternoon.
Spend a relaxed afternoon revisiting favorites with a behind-the-scenes look at marine care via the Rescue & Rehabilitation Center Tour, then drift along the lagoon on the scenic Harbor Cruise to spot birds and sea life from a new angle. Later, stroll out to nearby Lake Buena Vista Park for a picnic and local people-watching, or hop a short rideshare to the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets for some leisurely shopping and a casual dinner before an easy return to SeaWorld for evening activities.
Cap your final evening with a serene waterfront dinner at Lakeside Terrace Grill just outside the park, where you can savor fresh seafood while watching the lagoon light up; afterward, take a twilight stroll through Harbor View Promenade to enjoy live acoustic performers and local artisan stalls. Finish with a memorable nightcap at Skyline Rooftop Bar (a short rideshare away), offering sweeping views of Orlando's skyline and a relaxed setting to plan which SeaWorld favorites to return to on your next trip.
