Several hotel and theme park options are available online on the SeaWorld website.
Attraction map
Once you arrive at SeaWorld, the park map is digital. You can scan the map from your phone camera to get a view of the area. It is a little harder to see the area since it is compressed into the tiny area of your phone than holding the park map.
Veterans and Active Duty
Members of the military and Veterans can gain free access to the park along with three guests until December 31, 2021.
SeaWorld Events
The park has several rides for your enjoyment. The different rides and roller coasters are aimed from toddler to adult.
You can see animal exhibits during various exhibits. SeaWorld has whales, dolphins, sharks, walruses, turtles, and other sea animals. Some exhibits allow you to touch the animal under the guidance of one of the workers at SeaWorld.
Watching a live show
If you plan to watch a live animal show, take note of where you sit. Some areas are marked as splash zones. If you don’t mind getting wet, then that’s fine. But you may be soaked for several hours.
A few locations at Sea World have walk-in dryers that you need to pay for or you could bring a rain jacket or change of clothes.
Special events
Enjoy dancing, a DJ, and fireworks with a Cirque Neon World show. Various ticket prices are available on the website.
SeaWorld hours
The hours may change but currently, they are as follows.
Sunday to Thursday 9:00 am to 9:00 pm
Friday to Saturday 9:00 am to 10:00 pm

SeaWorld is a good theme park where you can spend time to see the animals and get on a few rides. The lines were not long like at other major theme parks but this could change over time.
If you plan to go, it’s encouraged to buy your tickets online so you can save a little bit of money.
