New at SeaWorld Orlando

"One Ocean" is the all-new Shamu show featuring SeaWorld's majestic killer whales as ambassadors of the sea and the ocean as the center of our natural world, sharing a message that both animals and humans are part of one world and one ocean and its future is in our hands to cherish and protect. "Summer Nights at SeaWorld" is a nighttime spectacular and the only place to celebrate when the sun sets over Central Florida's theme parks. The park's daytime favorites change to nighttime spectacles, showcasing the park in a whole new light with Shamu Rocks, a Shamu show driven by a larger-than-life, rock-n-roll beat. Summer Nights also includes a sky-filling fireworks finale, and hottest of all, Manta, Orlando's most unique roller coaster, under the stars.  

New at Discovery Cove

The new Grand Reef takes a day at Discovery Cove – an all-inclusive tropical retreat in the heart of Orlando where guests swim with dolphins, hand-feed exotic birds in a free-flight aviary and relax on pristine beaches - to another level. The all-new saltwater reef is filled with thousands of tropical fish, eagle rays, zebra sharks and eels in shallow and deeper waters leaving guests to explore where they feel most comfortable. SeaVenture is an underwater walking tour where guests – wearing dive helmets – will feel right at home under the sea, getting up close to sharks and lionfish (safely behind glass), velvety rays and even star fish or sea urchins.
