Looking for information about SeaWorld’s Animal Encounters? World Class VIP has you covered!
While your local zoo is pretty much limited to walking around and seeing animals in small habitats, SeaWorld goes far above and beyond to give visitors a full experience of the wonders of the ocean. Not only are there multiple habitats and amazing shows, but there are several family-friendly animal encounters that allow you to learn about various sea creatures and even interact with them.
This is what sets SeaWorld apart from the other theme parks that have made Orlando famous. Today, we’re going to take a quick look at several different types of animal encounters and up-close tours that you and your family will absolutely love.
Dolphin Encounter
If you’re a fan of dolphins, one of the smartest creatures on the planet, then you definitely don’t want to miss the dolphin encounter. You can participate in a short training session, and then you get to touch one. There’s also the opportunity for a 30-minute dolphin swim in shallow water. And for something special, you can sign up for the Dolphins Up-Close Tour.
Penguin Encounter
Penguins have been popular at SeaWorld for decades, and you can now come face-to-face with one of these awesome, flightless birds (a warm-weather species). But, that’s not all! You can also sign up for a 45-minute up-close penguin tour that goes behind the scenes of Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin. This is an absolutely amazing experience that you don’t want to miss.
Beluga Whale Encounter
Many people are stunned when they first see a beluga whale because of their similarity to dolphins. If you sign up for the Beluga Encounter, you’ll get to participate in a training session and enjoy a 30-minute tour where you’ll learn a bunch of fun facts about these amazing mammals. There’s also an up-close tour where you’ll get to touch and feed one of these beautiful creatures for an unforgettable experience.
Walrus Encounter
Since walruses are such a unique animal, it’s no surprise that they have their own encounter experience. Walruses have an adorable, friendly personality that you and your family will never forget. Perhaps the best part of this encounter is that the walrus you get to meet is one of the stars of Sea Lion and Otter Stadium.
Orca Encounter
Speaking of killer whales, everyone knows that this gorgeous sea creature has been the most famous attraction at SeaWorld for many years. The presentation of these powerful predators has changed in recent years to ensure that they’re treated with the utmost respect. If you’re as excited as we are about killer whales, you can sign up for a photo opportunity or an up-close tour to see how SeaWorld cares for these creatures each and every day.
Sea Lion Up-Close Tour
Sea lions are some of the most beloved creatures at SeaWorld. If you’re looking for a fun experience at the park, you certainly can’t go wrong with the Sea Lions Up-Close Tour. The sea lions are the stars of the Sea Lion and Otter Spotlight and Pacific Point Preserve, which means they’re definitely not camera-shy.
Sharks Up-Close Tour
Sharks can be very scary creatures, but not here. This up-close tour allows you to look into the park’s 700,000-gallon aquarium to see how these predators are cared for.
You’ll also get to feed several different species of shark in shallow waters and touch one of your own. A huge highlight of the tour is learning just how diverse sharks really are. Once you leave this shark encounter, they might not be so mysterious.
SeaWorld Animal Encounters – Rescue Tour
Everyone should go on the SeaWorld Rescue Tour at least once in their lifetime to understand the importance of the park. Although many visitors are caught up in the amazing spectacle of the park, the truth is that SeaWorld has rescued more than 40,000 animals over the past half-century. As you go through this tour, which features manatees and sea turtles, you’ll understand the impact that the park has had for so many years.
