SeaWorld Orlando has officially launched its most innovative attraction to date—Expedition Odyssey—a first-of-its-kind, multi-sensory flying theater ride that takes guests deep into the heart of the Arctic. Merging cinematic realism with cutting-edge ride technology and unforgettable wildlife encounters, this immersive experience offers a powerful new way to explore one of Earth’s most remote and beautiful regions.

A Ride That Goes Beyond Simulation

Expedition Odyssey isn’t just a ride—it’s a complete journey. Featuring state-of-the-art dynamic motion and stunning custom-shot footage captured in real Arctic locations, the attraction places guests inside an awe-inspiring world of glaciers, tundra, and icy waters. Riders are taken on a thrilling expedition where they’ll swoop past polar bears, dive beneath the waves with orcas, and glide alongside beluga whales—all through vivid, real-world visuals that feel anything but virtual.

But what truly sets Expedition Odyssey apart is its fusion of simulation and reality. Once the ride ends, the adventure continues as guests enter a fully immersive Arctic animal habitat where they come face-to-face with the same animals they just encountered on screen.

Meet the Arctic’s Most Captivating Creatures

Following the cinematic journey, visitors walk into a real-life Arctic ecosystem, home to beluga whales, seals, and walruses. Among them is a very special resident—Uki, a rescued Pacific walrus calf. Orphaned and deemed non-releasable by the Alaska SeaLife Center, Uki has found a forever home at SeaWorld Orlando. Her story adds a deeply personal and emotional dimension to the experience, showing how rescue and rehabilitation efforts connect directly with the stories of animals in the wild.

Guests can even opt for behind-the-scenes tours, like the Beluga Whales Up-Close Tour, which offers an intimate look into these intelligent marine mammals and the dedicated conservation work SeaWorld supports every day.

A Thrill Ride for the Whole Family

With a minimum height requirement of just 39 inches, Expedition Odyssey welcomes adventurers of nearly all ages. The entire attraction is located indoors, offering a perfect year-round escape from Florida’s heat or rain. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a nature enthusiast, or a parent looking for a family-friendly experience, this ride checks every box.

Memorial Day Savings Make It Even Better

To celebrate the opening of Expedition Odyssey, SeaWorld Orlando is offering deep discounts during its Memorial Day Sale. Now through May 18, guests can save up to 55% on Tickets, Fun Cards, and Annual Passes.

The 2025 Fun Card is one of the best values, providing unlimited visits through the end of next year for just $139.99—less than the price of a single-day ticket. For even more perks, including free parking, guest tickets, and access to VIP events, the Annual Pass is a top-tier choice.

Both options offer a full year of access to SeaWorld’s ever-evolving attractions, animal encounters, and seasonal events. It’s the perfect way to ensure you don’t just experience Expedition Odyssey once—but again and again.
