Summer is officially in full swing, and there’s no better way to dive into the season than with the SeaWorld Orlando Summer Spectacular. This year’s celebration promises to be the biggest and boldest yet, introducing a wave of first-time experiences and the grand opening of Expedition Odyssey, a revolutionary Arctic flying theater attraction.

As the days grow longer, SeaWorld transforms into a vibrant world of adventure, with extended park hours, nightly shows, delicious summer fare, and unforgettable animal encounters. Whether you’re a longtime passholder or visiting for the first time, summer 2025 at SeaWorld Orlando is packed with new reasons to return.

Now Open: Expedition Odyssey

Leading the summer line-up is Expedition Odyssey, an awe-inspiring flying theater attraction that pushes the boundaries of immersive entertainment. This first-of-its-kind ride combines state-of-the-art ride technology with all-real-world Arctic cinematography. Riders are lifted into a sensory-rich journey across icy landscapes, plunging into frozen caverns and soaring above majestic glaciers.

Once the ride concludes, the expedition continues on foot with rare, up-close encounters with Arctic wildlife—including beluga whales, seals, and walruses—bringing the wonders of the far north to life.

Drones, Fireworks, and Electrifying Nights

Another standout addition to this year’s festivities is the all-new drone show, debuting in June. In a SeaWorld first, hundreds of synchronized drones will take flight above the park’s central lake, animating the night sky with glowing sea creatures, rolling waves, and bursts of color—all choreographed to the electrifying anthem “Feeling Electric.”

As the drone display transforms into a sea of glowing fireflies, the spectacle seamlessly blends into Ignite, SeaWorld’s signature fireworks finale, creating an unforgettable end to your day.

New and Returning Live Entertainment

The energy doesn’t stop there. Guests can experience:

• Hydro Surge – A brand-new cirque show at Nautilus Theater that combines aquatic acrobatics, high-octane drumming, and edgy industrial design.
• Baby Shark’s Big Celebration (June 30–Sept. 2) – A family-friendly event marking 10 years of Baby Shark success, with live performances, character meet-and-greets, themed treats, and exclusive merchandise.
