I love it. It's a educational place where I can see different ocean animals and they habitat there is so many animals that I didn't know that existed. Was so nice to know that they kept some of them in care cause they were involved in an accident or sick. It's was a beautiful experience

I had an amazing experience at the SeaWorld Life Aquarium in Orlando! The exhibits were beautifully designed, and the marine animals looked healthy, active, and well cared for. I especially loved the interactive areas where you can get up close to vibrant fish, graceful rays, and other incredible sea creatures.
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about ocean life. They were always ready to answer questions and share fun facts, which made the visit even more engaging. The entire aquarium is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults.
Overall, it was a wonderful blend of education and entertainment. If you're visiting Orlando and want a memorable experience that’s relaxing, inspiring, and full of ocean magic, the SeaWorld Life Aquarium is definitely worth a visit!

One star off since they force you to take two pictures as soon as you walk in even if you tell them no. The parking can be tricky. Use the garage and walk (you have to pay 20 dollars if you use the lower level garage). If you have trouble finding the aquarium you can ask an employee working at one of the booths. Go a little early so you have time for all of this. The aquarium itself is great. Bathrooms are located throughout, but the womens were completely out of soap in all dispensers. There is germ ex posted on the walls throughout the aquarium. There are tons of even cooler fish there, but the pictures here are the ones I took. I was too busy watching them all to take pictures of the others (they were great. Especially the huge turtles). They also have options to touch the starfish and some others if you choose to (be careful. The water is cold and they don't warn you.) The gift shop isn't as pricey as I was expecting, but still a little expensive for what the things are.

paid over $100 for 3 people. took us like 45 mins to walk through. definitely not worth it. people standing around for way too long at some exhibits blocking the entire view or taking pictures at every exhibit and not letting anyone walk past. also at the front there is no signs that the desk to buy tickets is the same desk to scan your tickets you have already purchased so it’s confusing and many people try to walk through and the people at the desk will get angry. maybe put some signs. wouldn’t recommend.

Wonderful Family Experience at SEA LIFE Orlando!
Our family had such a great time at SEA LIFE Orlando! The exhibits are beautifully done, and there’s so much to see — from the colourful fish and graceful rays to the amazing 360° ocean tunnel that completely surrounds you. The kids were fascinated by the sharks and jellyfish, and the interactive touch tanks were a big hit too.
Everything felt clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to enjoy at our own pace. The staff were friendly and happy to answer questions, which made the visit even more special.
It’s the perfect family activity — educational, relaxing, and fun all at once. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting ICON Park or looking for something magical to do with kids in Orlando!
