SeaWorld (www.seaworldorlando.com; 407/545-5500) is located on Central Florida Parkway, at International Drive, or exits 71 and 72 east of I-4. The park is open 9am to 7pm with extended hours in peak season. Parking costs $25, up to $30 on peak days.

SeaWorld Orlando went cashless in 2023. You must use a credit or debit card for all purchases. The park offers a free cash-to-card machine located near the entrance.

TICKETS AND PASSES—SeaWorld admission costs $114 for everyone; $20+ discounts and $45 adult/$23 kid meal plans are available online for some days. SeaWorld sells Quick Queue Unlimited ($15–$80, depending how busy it is), which allows you to cut lines on the adult rides by entering through the exit. There’s a version for reserved seating for the shows, too, for $15–$60. You can buy both online ahead of time or in the park via electronic kiosks labeled UPGRADE YOUR DAY!—but check regular wait times first, because neither one is usually warranted. If you buy ahead online, you can often get cheaper admission to either Aquatica or Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, too.
