SeaWorld Reviews 196

We have been a few times to SeaWorld and enjoyed it but on the visits this time we have been VERY disappointed. The music throughout the park is TOO loud, the prices of the food is very expensive and of poor quality. To add insult to this they have a 5% surcharge on everything you buy.

The staff were not very friendly either, will not be revisiting.

We also visited Aquatica and the $50 charge to rent a locker was absolutely a RIPOFF, you should be ashamed as the tickets are already expensive without this ridiculous cost.

I've been looking forward to SeaWorld for 20 years ever since I came as a little kid. I had the worst experience. We came on July 23rd. We waiting on the mako for an hr. Finally we sit down. Then they kicked us off the ride cause a storm was 45 mins away. Then we took shelter for 2 hours The rain passed. Then we went to the sea lyon show and sat for 30 mins for it to start. At the scheduled time, they made an announcement that it was canceled due to weather. Even tho it wasn't raining and it didn't rain for 2 more hrs. So we walked to where the sea Lyons were playing. We saw a seal under a rock, it looked dead. We alerted the guy who works there and told him. He didn't do anything. He wouldnt even go look to see if it's ok. He acknowledged what I said and said ok
an didn't tell anyone or send hel. Next we were waiting in line for the infinity falls. Line was super long cause the Atlantis ride was closed. After waiting 30 mins we finally got to the entrance of the ride. The sign said 150 more minutes. We then heading to guest services to get a refund for today. Then the line was an hr long just to get a refund. We all got so frustrated and left. This place ruined my family's trip. We will not be returning to any of the theme parks cause of our experience. We would consider going back to SeaWorld if we could get a refund. On SeaWorlds website it says skip the line was 15$ per person however when we showed up they wanted 80$ per person.

Think carefully before visiting. We found the hard way with 4 children, ages 7, 11, 13, 15 that the age variation makes for a very boring time. SeaWorld can’t seem to decide if they are about marine life or roller coasters. Marine life exhibits are mediocre, but at least entire family can walk thru at same time. As to the rides, with the age variation the 7 year old could ride NOTHING, (too old/big for the Sesame Street baby thing) the 11 some. We spent the day sitting the sun waiting for one or two to ride something. Miserable experience. Prices ridiculous. $5 small water bottle; $7 ice cream with one popsicle stick. Lunch, 3 meals shared with 6 was $52, small, unappetizing. Then we see a 3% and later a 5% SERVICE CHARGE on our receipts. Never ever will we be back. The kids deemed the place “BORING”.

You should be ashamed of yourselves for continuing to victimize these animals for profit. They for sure cannot be released, but they deserve better than some moron tourists gawking at them while they swim around in a fishbowl. 🤮

7/6/2023 we got there when they opened, the Krackin and journey to Atlantis and the Mako, were all closed. By noon most of the places where you got refills were out of ice. It's July in Florida. wth

I have never gone to one of these places, and i never will. These places hold animals captive from their homes and are incredibly inhumane. Supporting these Corporations is just terrible

They are killing their animals. Terrible.

FREE THE ANIMALS! Don’t give a dime to these horrible people!!!

Ride lines are absolutely ridiculous. When you think the line is moving it’s not. Journey to Atlantis has to be the worst lines to wait in. It’s been almost and hour and a half and I’ve feel like my family has barely moved through the line. Like how is that possible!!! At least universal and Disney are better with lines. THEY ACTUALLY MOVE!!! 😡😡😡 Worst experience ever!

If you visit these places then you are actually giving money to a place that exploits beautiful sea creatures. They belong in the wild. Go on a whale watching tour and see them in the wild where they belong. It's time that all of these places were shut down.

Extreme animal abuse. It will only stop when we stop giving them money.

HORRIBLE, inhumane is the word for how this place is ran. Animals are in tiny spaces, cruel and should be shut down. They are depressed!!

DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE. They do not take care of their animals at All. It is actually extreme abuse the enclosures they are put in. DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY to a poor excuse of “entertainment” to poor excuses of humans. Orcas arent meant to put on a show for you people then live in a tank the size of our home swimming pools. WAKE UP

The orca trainers couldn't get any of them to participate so we sat in the heat for an hour for nothing. The food was terrible yet expensive. The shows were few and far between and many scheduled at the same time, so you couldn't see them all. The strollers were all damaged. For $40 a rental they should work properly. Not 1 of them had a working cover so the child could be shaded. We did ask for one that worked but the worker said they were all like that. $130 for the scooter and had to go back and get another one as it wasn't working properly either. Tip, for the price of parking just take an uber and they will drop you right at the entrance and you will save money. Paper maps were better than the online maps they have now. Only redeeming quality was sesame street.

I enjoyed the whales, dolphins & the Elmo parade. The rides were all broke down, I got to ride only two the whole day, I tried to get food at a stand and the lady was rude and would not serve me.. it was not worth the money..

Big lines, OVERPRICED THINGS!!! Found a plastic pen in a shop that costs $10! You can literally buy a better one for a dollar somewhere else! Many people say to not visit this park since there are animals being kept in captivity, but its not always the case! The reason those animals are there is because of the Sea World Rescue program where THEY NEEDED HELP and it would be very dangerous and risky to return them back to the wild. It will be better for them to have humans helping them and caring for them. Many animals there are endangered and are needed to be cared for!

If anyone is thinking of visiting this park, i urge you to watch the documentary Blackfish. Please do not support these disgusting people or their terrible abuse of these poor animals.

Haven't been to SeaWorld for some time and was really looking forward to it.
Thing is was really really disappointed right from the over priced parking through the majority of rides being closed or broken.
Those rides working were rammed with people because of closures to other rides.
The same was true with eating places
half closed and long queues at others.
The whole day seemed to be geared to enticing people to animal attractions at considerable extra cost. Won't be rushing back and strongly suggest if your holidaying skip this park there are plenty of others offering a better experience

This place used to be amazing, but no longer. Too many rides closed for maintenance. All day dining deal is no longer worth it. Inaccurate misleading info on website about dining options which wastes your precious in-park time. Perhaps most notably, employees are ruder than before and no longer prioritize a good experience, even at the start of the day when you shouldn't be grumpy; not isolated to a few employees either, they're all relatively unhappy. All these signs point to penny-wise, pound-foolish mismanagement. Many other superior theme park options in area. Save your money and your time, go elsewhere!
