The Sky Tower is a leisurely ride where you'll get a panoramic view of SeaWorld and the surrounding area. It is indoor with a screen, like Star Tours at the Disney parks. The Wild Arctic Ride is an optional entry to the Wild Arctic exhibit. Manta and Kracken are thrilling coasters – among the best in Orlando. We returned to SeaWorld Orlando when our kids were older, and the coasters were their favorite part of the park on that trip. We only spent a few hours at SeaWorld, and our kids were a little young for the big coasters, so we skipped the rides at SeaWorld. Related: What to Expect on a Make-a-Wish Trip to Universal Orlando We spent some of our time up close with the rays. We love touch pools and SeaWorld Orlando has them! They are a great way for kids to interact with the animals. These places are good for seeing and learning about wild animals, and enjoying the air conditioning too! I also really like Wild Arctic, TurtleTrek and the penguin exhibits. We cruised through the shark exhibit, which was a slam dunk. SeaWorld has a number of great educational aquarium exhibits. Related: Tips for Visiting Walt Disney World Through Make-A-Wish I have always enjoyed the playful and fast-paced dolphin show at SeaWorld San Diego, though we didn't see it in Orlando. The pet show is lots of fun and one of the best kept secrets at SeaWorld. We really enjoyed the humorous Clyde and Seamore sea lion show, and highly recommend it for kids. My son (who had completed treatment for cancer) didn't really need to be there, so we chose our own seats at the next show. We were ushered to the handicap zone with our button. It was a long walk, and extra-tough since we weren't yet accustomed to Florida's summer weather. ![]() Our next stop was the whale show at the far other end of the park.

There is no set schedule for dolphin feedings at Discovery Cove because the times are adjusted daily to accommodate the dolphins' dietary needs. SeaWorld Orlando has many shows and exhibits, so it is especially fun for family members who don't do rides. The Manta coaster is one of the best rides in Orlando. It is among the most educational parks on GKTW's list. Keep in mind that SeaWorld has a lot to offer. This low-pressure plan worked well for us. We had been to SeaWorld San Diego before, so we planned to sleep in, enjoy the pony rides and then visit to SeaWorld Orlando for a few hours. Also, our kids really wanted pony rides at Give Kids the World, which were scheduled for our first morning. We arrived at Give Kids the World (GKTW) very late after a long travel day, and we needed to start our first day in Florida slowly. It can be high-adrenaline or easy-going – whatever works best for your family. ![]() We found that SeaWorld is the park that best adapts to the busy schedule of a Make-A-Wish trip. Make-A-Wish families receive a one-day pass to SeaWorld Orlando, in addition to three days at Walt Disney World and two days at Universal Orlando.
