SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium · International Drive

The Write-Up

The full story

Sharks and rays pass overhead in the 360-degree ocean tunnel while you stay dry, unhurried and air conditioned. Touch pools hold starfish and anemones, and themed zones carry you from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean at a pace kids can manage. It is a compact aquarium, better as one stop inside an ICON Park day than as the whole day itself.

What People Are Saying

The word from guests

Real words from people who have been, gathered from public reviews. SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium holds 4.2 on Viator across 556 reviews.

Our honest take

Sharks and rays overhead, everything air-conditioned and unhurried, and smaller than many expect: reviewers call it a relatively short visit and suggest pairing it. Inside ICON Park that pairing is easy, the Wheel and dinner are steps away. As one stop in an ICON Park day it works; as the whole day it is thin.

District Story

The story of ICON Park

A hotel in the boondocks, a road paved after it and named to sound big and important, and the corridor that taught Orlando how to be a vacation.
