What to Expect Visiting Seaworld during COVID

Seaworld Orlando is open and has some new procedures because of COVID-19. There is still plenty of fun to be had and lots or rides and attractions are open. Here is what you need to know about visiting and new procedures.

Reservations are Required for Park Entry
You are required to make a reservation for park entry, this is in addition to you ticket. This is due to the fact that they are only allowing a certain percentage of capacity into the park daily. Reservations must be made in advance online, you cannot make a reservation at the park.

Masks are Required
Face masks are required to be worn the entire duration of your visit, except when eating or drinking. Masks must cover your nose and mouth fully. Face shields instead of masks are not permitted.

Temperature Checks when Entering
Before entering the park, you will walk through a digital temperature screening. There is no touching necessary as it takes your temp when walking under the reader.

Bag Check
You will be required to go through bag check and a metal detector before entering the park.

No Personal Photos
While you are welcome to take your own photos with your phone, Seaworld staff are not allowed to hold your phone to take pictures for you. Paid digital photos taken by Seaworld staff are still available.

Park Maps are Digital
There are no paper park maps available, only digital. They also have these large maps posted throughout the park to help you find your way.

Shows are Limited
Most outdoor shows are still happening, but they have limited showtimes. There are rows skipped and stickers to show you six feet between groups. Exiting the show will also be coordinated to ensure there is no crowding. Most shows only have one show time per day so make sure to plan accordingly for those you wish to see.

The Park is Operating Differently
Certain areas of the park are only open a limited amount of time. Upon arrival in the park they will provide you with a daily schedule so you can plan on which areas to see during the time they are open. This will also tell you what attractions and rides are closed the day you are visiting. I will say it was disappointing that so many rides and attractions were closed the day we visited. Almost all of the roller coasters were closed that day.

Relaxation Areas
There are a few areas throughout the park available for you to sit and relax without your mask on. Find where these areas are located on a park map.

Splash Pad is Open
The popular splash pad for sunny days is still open in the Sesame Street area of the park. They are only allowing a certain number of kids inside the area at a time and kids cannot wear masks when inside.
