Getting to SeaWorld by Car
The marine park is south of Orlando and Universal, north of Disney. From I-4, take Exit 72, Beeline Expressway/Highway 528, and follow the signs.
Parking
Parking costs $10 for cars, light trucks, and vans; $15 for preferred parking closer to the park entrance. The lots aren't huge, and most folks can walk to the entrance. Trams also run. Note the location of your car. SeaWorld characters such as Wally Walrus mark sections, but at the end of a long day it's easy to forget where you parked.
Shuttle Service
SeaWorld and Busch Gardens in Tampa, both owned by Anheuser-Busch, have a shuttle service that offers $10 round-trip tickets to get you from Orlando to Tampa and back. The 1 1/2- to 2-hour one-way shuttle runs daily and has five pickup locations in Orlando, including at Universal and on I-Drive (tel. 800/221-1339). The schedule allows about 7 hours at Busch Gardens. The service is free if you have a FlexTicket.
