It was a total waste of money and time. I purchased 2 park admission tickets and 2 all you can eat tickets. My husband and I only had 2 meals of chicken tenders, fries, a cold hard pizza and a drink. At 4:30 they made an announcement that the park was closing at 5 to get ready for Howl-O-Scream. Every restaurant and most rides were already preparing to close. We didn't get to see any animal shows, eat at other restaurants or enjoy more than 3 rides. What a waste, Do not get the all you can eat band. The food options are slim to none, (terrible). By the way, after paying 268.00 for 2 tickets, 59.00 each for the 2 all you can eat tickets, I had to pay 39.40 for parking. I wouldn't mind the cost if I had the experience I was expecting. Never again!!!!!

1/1/26 I love sea world years ago. But now the getting worse. Last night the Dj. Was horrible don't know how to mix playing 80 music. Dj. Ira I think. Look like a kid was playing with the mixer .Restroom dirty no toilet paper. Bad smell too. Trash can fulls. Food very little for the price. Everything over priced. No that many decor look sad . Very little employee.

Big lines. People drink alcohol.

This park has changed a lot and it is more about the rides than the animals. We purchased a reserve seat pass as our children are autistic and struggle with queuing and the Seaworld website lead us to believe that you had to queue for the shows and the reserve seat pass would reduce waiting time. However there aren’t queues for the shows and therefore you gain absolutely nothing from spending the money. Due to the rain several shows were cancelled so we only saw 2 shows, the Dolphins were amazing and a delight to watch. The Whales swam around for a couple of minutes and then it was just a lady talking about the Whales. So was very disappointed with this and so were my children and the other visitors around me. I remember Seaworld from the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and loved it, it was all about the amazing shows and seeing all the animals. Now it feels it is all about rides and finding additional ways to charge people on the day. I wanted to give my kids a magical enjoyable day there, like I hold in my childhood memories, but unfortunately lots has changed and it’s no longer what it was. Not even any reference to the whales of the old days which made it what it was. I won’t be going back and just sad I gave the children high expectations and completely wasted my money and our time.

We went on 8th June while on holiday, 4 adults and 2 children, the youngest was 6 that day. We felt disappointed and let down as soon as we arrived - no Shamu statue to have pictures taken at, no Shamu mascot either. We thoroughly enjoyed the dolphins nursery, dolphins show and 3 did a dolphins experience and enjoyed it but $60+ each for 15 minutes and about 10 in a group....overpriced I think. We were left deflated after the Orca Encounter, having seen the Shamu show when the trainers were in the tank and performed with the orcas the Orca Encounter doesnt come close to be as good a show. The show is based now on the environment and saving the planet, seas etc and you watch people on the large screen talking about this but I want to see and enjoy the killer whales performing, I don't see their performing as cruelty. I totally respect and understand why the trainers are not in the water but this show, for me, should be these animals entertaining the audience. We were also surprised when we found out that the Clyde & Seymour show is no longer there and that was really missed as the mime artists were so funny and enjoyable to watch. When queuing for the Atlantis ride we couldn't understand why no staff members were there telling you which number of lane people had to stand in so, at one point, people stood where they wanted and some carts weren't filled and then a guest got out the queue and was filling up all the lanes - this is ridiculous for a park this size and the cost paid to enter it - felt understaffed. We had dining passes and around 8pm were told in several restaurants and eateries that they were closing and we could only go to a grill, I can't remember the name, and it was mobbed, queued out the door and the dining area and tables inside were in a poor state of repair, scratched, dirty, stained...it was not pleasant. I believe the food places should remain open all day as the park was still full of guests and one restaurant shouldn't have to deal with the amount of people. I was disappointed that the polar bear was away, I did enjoy the manatees, rays, sharks and dolphins show; the 2 kids really liked Sesame Street. We all enjoyed the drone show but surprised there was another show with loud music so near where the drones were so it was distracting seeing 2 things going on at the same time. Facepainting costing $22 is expensive but we paid it for a treat for the 6 year old. On leaving we all agreed we enjoyed our day, had fun on some rides and liked some animals but won't return to Seaworld if we return to Orlando.

The park looks nice, but overall SeaWorld Orlando just can’t compete with Disney or Universal. Ride operations were incredibly slow — it often took 4–5 minutes to dispatch a single coaster train. Even with a Quick Queue pass, we ended up waiting with the regular line very early on, and no one even bothered to scan our tickets. Honestly, don’t waste your money on it. Pipeline and Mako are beautiful, smooth coasters and the clear highlights of the park. Manta and Kraken, on the other hand, feel outdated and a bit rough around the edges. We also tried the All-Day Dining option, which was a letdown. The food quality was poor and the wait times ridiculous. At Seafire Grill, we stood in line for 15 minutes just to place an order, then another 30 minutes to get our food — handed out by a single staff member moving at glacial speed. If this wasn’t part of a prepaid deal, we would have walked away. We didn’t get to explore all of the animal exhibits, but the sting ray section was a nice moment of calm. The orca show was fine, but not exactly mind-blowing — maybe just a case of inflated expectations. In the end, it felt like a park trying to charge premium prices while offering a subpar experience. I’ve definitely seen better, and left disappointed.

This place is the definition of animal abuse I would like to say that the tanks of the animals in this place are so small half the animals probably could move .

Very disappointed with SeaWorld Orlando services. I ordered 3 months in advance the Dinner with Orcas lunch package. I have an autist grandson and he is crazy about sea animals. He was more excited with this experience than with the park itself. We travelled from South America so he could be close to this giant animals. When the scheduled time arrived (12:30) we approached the place. It was completely abandoned, no one inside, no sign. When talked to a Sea World employee, he had no idea what happened. Called someone and we were told it was canceled. No information, cost refund or not even a sign informing it. I was told I need to go to guest service to request the refund. More than 40 minutes waiting on a queue. Family totally disappointed and I still had to loose time waiting on a queue because their totally lack of respect with customer. Very sad experience! My grandson very disappointed!
