And that’s just the beginning—thrilling stunt shows and beloved characters bring the park to life all season long.
"Families can dive into kid‑friendly fun and discovery with the all‑new Shark Encounter, opening May 22, alongside inspiring marine‑animal presentations and interactive experiences designed to amaze guests of all ages.
"With extended summer hours and exciting seasonal offerings, there’s never been a better time to visit. Come experience the magic of summer at SeaWorld."*Drone show takes place nightly during Summer Spectacular except on July 4 when the park will offer a fireworks show.&nbsp;
