SEAWORLD ORLANDO TRAVEL TIPS

Now that we have the main details out the way when it comes to your SeaWorld Resort Orlando visit, let’s go through some of my best tips for you!

1. Get there early

Arrive 30 minutes prior to park opening. It’s the best way to maximize your day , especially if you’re trying to do it all in one day.

2. Dress appropriately

Florida weather is mostly hot and humid except for the beautiful months of December, January, February, and March.

3. Find quiet, shaded spots

The vegetation area by the Dolphin Encounter and near Turtle Trek are two, usually serene, sitting areas.

AND one of my favorite places to relax in SeaWorld.

Top 10 BEST Things to Do at SeaWorld Orlando in 2024

4. Go during the weekdays

To avoid the frustration, I suggest avoiding holidays, the weekends, and the summer. This is the time that both locals and tourists flood the park.

Map out day prior to visit by downloading app.

6. Pass on Preferred Parking

Aquatica Orlando Water Park

From high-speed water slides and exhilarating wave pools, to tranquil beaches, Aquatica is the perfect place for theme park fans!

As you explore SeaWorld Resort Orlando , you may want to see what it’s like to experience this one-of-a-kind water park.

What is there to do at Aquatica Orlando?

Aquatica has some of the world’s top-notch thrill water rides and features:

• Over 40 slides, rivers, and lagoons
• 84,000 square feet of sparkling white, sandy beaches

Aquatica Rides

Now let’s go through all of the rides and attractions at this SeaWorld Orlando Water Park.

This action-packed water adventure is one your entire family can ride together in a colossal translucent sphere on a raft.

KareKare Curl

This incredible water park ride is 361 feet long, which is perfect for adrenaline junkies looking for a group centered ride in Aquatica.

Riptide Race

Remember those waterslides we used to love as kids ? We always wished we could race down them alongside our friends.

Well, Aquatica has heard your prayers. And answered them with RipTide Race, a 68-foot tower drop!

Riders must be at least 48 inches tall to enjoy this water park ride.

Ihu’s Breakaway Falls™

I’m too scary to conquer Orlando’s steepest and only multi-drop tower slide of its kind, but be better than me!

Ihu’s Breakaway fall towers at nearly 80-feet tall. When you arrive to the top of the attraction, you have to step into one of three breakaway boxes.

You will then plummet down super-fast…

…you just don’t know when your box will remove its barrier!

Riders must be at least 48 inches tall (1.22m).

Reef Plunge®

This is one of the most unique water park attractions in the world!

Reef Plunge will take you on an adventurous ride through 250 feet of clear tubes, underwater, all-the-while passing by Commerson’s dolphins.

Omaka Rocka™

The Omaka Rocka is a waterslide skateboarder-inspired near-vertical thrill.

According to SeaWorld, riders speed down flumes into massive funnels, sliding high up one side and then the other, rocking back and forth, feeling a sensation of near weightlessness.

Big Surf Shores™ & Cutback Cove™

These are Aquatica’s official side-by-side wave pools.

What’s the difference between Big Surf Shores and Cutback Cove?

Cutback Cove has a higher thrill and produces crashing waves with 5-foot swells. Big Surf Shores is milder and has a more gentle rolling surf.

Roa’s Rapids®

This is by far my favorite Aquatica attraction!

Roa’s Rapids will whisk you through 1,500 feet of rapids, past geysers and through waterfalls at a speed four times faster than a standard lazy river.

Loggerhead Lane™

This is the milder lazy river that will give you underwater views of the Commerson’s dolphins and exotic fish.

Taumata Racer®

Here you’ll be able to race down a 300-foot slide , in and out of tunnels and around a 360-degree turn before racing across the finish line.

Riders must be at least 42 inches tall (1.07m).

Walhalla Wave®

This is the perfect raft ride for your family or group of friends to enjoy! It takes you down six stories and through 600 feet of drenching twists and turns.

2024 AQUATICA RIDES Smackdown! (Your Complete Guide)

Tassie’s Underwater Twist (NEW)

According to SeaWorld, you’ll be able to delight in the twirling sensations of this ride as you spin and splash through a tunnel and into a sparkling pool below.

Riders must be able to maintain proper riding position and hold on to handles unassisted.

Whanau Way®

This is a classic double inner tubes water ride that will take you down 5-story slides of drops, curves and gushing water.

Walkabout Waters™

This is an interactive water playground for kids.

Turi’s Kid Cove®

This is the kiddie water wonderland of Aquatica that has over 79,000 gallons of water and features:

Overall, SeaWorld is a spectacular theme park to visit on your next Orlando vacation. Before I end this guide I want to go over a few pros and cons of the park.

SeaWorld Orlando Pros

• Not as busy as the local competitor parks
• It’s a great park for families
• Has some of Orlando’s top roller coasters
• Great place to learn and visit marine life up close
• Quickly stepping up its game to becoming a competitive Orlando theme park

Cons of SeaWorld Orlando

• More family-friendly rides and attractions throughout the park are needed to make it an all-day destination.
• It would be nice to have more indoor attractions and shows to enjoy to combat the Florida heat.
• Better food options are needed outside of the festivals.
• Another full-service restaurant would be great.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.
