Attractions
SeaWorld Orlando has a vast array of live shows and attractions including rides and animal exhibits. Two of these attractions actually combine the two, with both a ride component and a separate animal exhibit.
Live Entertainment
- Shamu Stadium, boasting a seven-million-gallon arena, showcases the park’s beloved killer whale performers. The current main production, “One Ocean,” is complemented by seasonal favorites like “Shamu Rocks” and “Shamu Christmas Miracles.” In 2011, “Believe” made way for the new killer whale show, “One Ocean.”
- At the Whale and Dolphin Stadium, guests enjoy “Blue Horizons,” a spectacular show featuring dolphins, a false killer whale, macaws, and even an Andean condor. This aquatic extravaganza incorporates human acrobats and divers for added thrills.
- In the Sea Lion and Otter Stadium, “Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island” stars two California sea lions in a comedic performance. Otters and a Pacific walrus also join the fun. During summer, the duo hilariously spoof other park shows in “Sea Lions Tonite,” while during the holidays, they star in “Countdown to Christmas.”
