Plunge into Sea World Orlando to get up close and personal with some of the ocean’s most amazing creatures. If you haven’t been since you were a kid, you’re in for a tidal wave of surprises. Sea World is much more than just Shamu nowadays. Still, if you’re partial to the park’s signature orca, why not have a nosh with him? Dine with Shamu invites you to enjoy the spoils of a bountiful buffet at a patio table alongside the killer whale habitat. This intimate VIP experience lets you feast on spicy shrimp as you spy on the off-the-clock hijinks of the world’s most famous whale. Dolphins are Sea World’s other prime attraction, showcased in Dolphin Cove. Dolphins jump and play in an enormous lagoon with plenty of lounging room on its shores. Pet them, feed them and then go watch them play underwater in a special viewing area. The Cirque du Soleil effect has reached even the shores of Sea World, with the park pulling out all the stops to create its own sophisticated spectacles to dazzle the senses. While Odyssea is a worthwhile Cirque-like entry, it is Blue Horizons that fulfills the promise of this park. The inspired addition of gorgeous dolphins to the ranks of acrobats and aerialists makes a theatrical splash without compare.
