There’s quite a wave of excitement sweeping across SeaWorld parks as they celebrate 50 years of family fun. It’s an 18-month long celebration and you should be a part of it. You’ll feel the energy throughout the park, from a new Shamu® show to the SeaWorld Surprise Squad delivering prizes and surprises throughout the park, plus new entertainment, animal encounters, festive shows, and fireworks finales to top off summer evenings. You should also check out Aquatica, a park for animal lovers, thrill seekers and kids! Located 16 miles northwest of downtown, off Hwy. 151.
