One of Orlando's largest theme parks, SeaWorld mixes marine life exhibits with rides. The roller coasters — Kraken, Manta, Mako — are genuinely intense and some of the best in the state. The animal shows and the park's orca and dolphin displays are the main draw but have drawn increasing criticism over the treatment of captive cetaceans; the park has scaled back its orca shows in response.
Located at the intersection of I-4 and the Beachline Expressway, a short drive from International Drive and the Disney and Universal resorts.
