SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium

Located in central Orlando, SEA LIFE provides visitors with a mix of education, marine conservation and hands-on fun. Diverse ocean species are displayed within authentically themed habitats, influenced by the surroundings of Florida's subtropical environment. With more than 30 fascinating displays and 5,000 creatures, plus an ocean tank and video theater, there’s something for every member of your family. After entering the aquarium, experience a dynamic journey from the wetlands and swamps around Lake Apopka to the colorful Florida Keys and the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Make your way through exhibits including the giant Pacific octopus, the largest octopus in the world, which inhabits the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest. Watch shy seahorses feed on small shrimp, and search for a male seahorse with a brood of babies in its pouch. Spy clown fish and sea turtles, and observe jellyfish floating inside cylindrical tanks that mimic ocean tides and currents. Stop by a tank of blacktip reef sharks, which come from the tropical coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific oceans, and enter an underwater tunnel for a 360-degree view of sharks and stingrays as they swim past. Discover a world of captivating creatures like sea anemones, sea urchins and horseshoe crabs that inhabit shores and coastal tides. Passionate about preserving marine habitats and the species that live in them, the informative staff at SEA LIFE Orlando celebrates everything about the sea. The aquarium hosts shark and ray feedings as well as educational demonstrations throughout the day. Learn about successful breeding programs for sharks and endangered creatures like seahorses, and discover how the aquarium supports worldwide conservation projects.

This place is small but they managed to somehow fit a lot of different tanks with a lot of different fish and reptiles. I especially love the 360 degree tunnel. My kids were so fascinated at the touch tank and the lady who was there explained what the kids were seeing and touching. We came on a weekday in December so it was not as packed but you can tell that in busier seasons, it’ll be hard to move around if you have small ones in a stroller. My reason for a 4 star rating - the price. We were able to get the tickets half off from a zoo reciprocity program but we sure would not pay the full price for an hour’s worth.

Hello and thank you for taking a moment to review your recent visit! We appreciate the 4 stars and as you saw, we use our space well to fit as much in as possible while still maintaining enough room for our animals. Weekdays are definitely a better time to go, but you are correct that weekends and holidays definitely get busier. Thank you for being a part of the AZA membership program!

Was fun but felt a little crowded and booking the tickets on Tripadvisor made it difficult as they couldn't find the ticket and it took 15 waiting in line, 15 mins for them to find our tickets via trip advisor, for a total of 30 mins wasted.

Hello and thank you for visiting SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium! I'm sorry to hear that there were issues with your tickets from Trip Advisor. I will let our admissions team know so that they can review procedures on check in. I do know that sometimes vouchers from third parties cannot be purchased and used on the same day, but that is dependent on the company selling the discounted tickets.

great experience! Staff was friendly, and very knowledgeable! Large stingrays, lots of small sharks! I think the only thing that was missing is your website. Did not say when you bought the pass that you could go anytime that day you picked.
