SEA LIFE Orlando: An Underwater Wonderland

 

Face-to-Fin Encounters

Dive into SEA LIFE Orlando, where you’ll come face-to-fin with a mesmerizing array of marine life. Imagine yourself surrounded by shimmering fish, eels, curious sea turtles, and majestic sharks and rays. Learn all about the sea life there, conservation efforts, and how you can help! Don't miss the stunning 360-degree ocean tunnel (only one in Florida!) that will make you feel like you’re swimming right alongside these incredible creatures. It's like stepping into a real-life aquarium adventure!


Hands-On Fun

Get ready for some hands-on fun at the touch pool, where you can feel the unique textures of exotic starfish and anemones. For those curious about what goes on behind the scenes, take a tour and discover the secrets of running a bustling aquarium. You will also have a chance to learn all about the conservation efforts that SEA LIFE works hard on. Trust me this is a must!


Super Shark Summer

IT'S BACK! From July 5th to August 4th, SEA LIFE Orlando is turning up the excitement with Super Shark Summer! Included with admission, this event features interactive education stations where you can learn about the super senses of sharks. Collect stamps at each station, and once you've got all five, you’ll earn a special prize! Learn all about the local residents including the bonnetheads, zebra sharks, blacktip reef sharks, bamboo sharks, coral catsharks, and epaulette sharks. Learn how they are truly not as "scary:" as the media portrays them and how they are important to the ecosystem. Everyone knows how important this is for me and I hope to everyone else! And don’t forget to meet Sharky, the lovable shark mascot, on Fridays through Sundays. Sharky is a MUST! We always love seeing Sharky! Share all your newfound Fin Facts with him and make some unforgettable memories.

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum: Star-Studded Summer in Orlando

 

Meet the Stars

Get ready to strut down the red carpet at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, where the stars are always out! Pose with incredibly lifelike wax figures of your favorite celebrities, from Hollywood icons to legendary athletes. Snap a selfie with your idols and make your friends jealous with your star-studded summer adventure.


Feel the Jazz

This summer, Madame Tussauds adds a jazzy twist to your visit. Feel the rhythm in the air as you stroll through the galleries, making your experience even more magical and musical. It's not just a museum; it's an interactive, immersive experience that brings the stars to life. Celebrate with Chris Pratt, swoon over Harry Styles, dance the night away with Dua Lipa, be enchanted to meet Taylor Swift, and snap a selfie with Rihanna in her unforgettable 2023 halftime show performance look. Plus see the newest figure - the one and only iconic Lady Gaga.


The Orlando Eye: Sky-High Adventure

 

Stunning Views

Take your summer fun to new heights on The Orlando Eye, a colossal 400-foot-tall observation wheel that offers breathtaking views of Central Florida. From your air-conditioned glass capsule, enjoy 360-degree panoramas of the city, including theme parks, downtown Orlando, and even the construction of Epic Universe. Each serene, 20-minute ride provides a new perspective of this vibrant city.


Comfort and Refreshment

Before your flight, chill out at the new SKY BAR with a refreshing drink (the lavender haze lemonade was amazing). It's the perfect prelude to your sky-high adventure, making your trip not just scenic but also delightfully relaxing. The best part is you can pick selected audio from them, or you can sync your phone to listen to your music while taking in the views. As someone afraid of heights typically, I felt very comfortable and safe throughout my entire journey.


A Must-Do Experience

The Orlando Eye isn't just an observation wheel; it's an experience. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this ride offers an unparalleled view and a serene escape from the hustle and bustle below. It's the perfect way to cap off your summer fun in Orlando. Tip: if you go later in the day, you can experience Florida's beautiful golden hour, or even see fireworks at the surrounding theme parks!
