At SeaWorld Orlando, Shark Appreciation Week is back. Now is the perfect time to explore the majesty and mystery of the ocean’s mesmerizing creatures. Ready to dive into all the events?

While many people head to SeaWorld Orlando for thrilling rides, the animal education woven into the theme park experience is just as exciting. Understanding the interconnectivity, the complexities of the oceans, and the importance of conservation inspires guests to learn more.

Sharks can be one of the most misunderstood creatures. Movies, like Jaws and The Meg, fictionalize voracious animals and prey on people’s fears. When people dive into the real facts, a shiver can elicit a response, but that frenzy is only part of the total story.

How Is SeaWorld Orlando Celebrating Shark Appreciation Week?

For the event, Shark Appreciation Week features special events, food, and beverages throughout SeaWorld Orlando. Whether guests want to take home some shark inspired items or simply toast to the fin-tastic animal, there is something for everyone.

Consider starting the day by riding Mako. The popular roller coaster hits its 10 year milestone. That first big plunge always gets a rise out of people.

After that excitement, head over to the Shark Encounter. Personally, the slow journey through the underwater space is calm and relaxing. As sharks swim besides and above you, it shows how splendid this animal is. If lucky, a few sharks might even nestle up to the glass for a closer look.

For a more in depth discussion on all things shark related, consider stopping by the daily Aquarist Talks at Shark Shallows. The experts will share how vital sharks are to the ocean’s ecosystems. Knowledge can make any subject matter more enjoyable and less frightening.

Raise a Glass to All Things Sharks

SeaWorld Orlando has focused on creating a robust food and beverage experience. From this summer’s Red, White, and BBQ to its celebrated beer offerings, the theme park understands that guests’ experience is tied to their eating and drinking satisfaction.

Specifically for Shark Appreciation Week, there is a Shark Margarita. The specialty cocktail is the perfect toast or option to calm the nerves after riding Mako.

For all ages, there are Baby Shark-inspired treats. While no one has to sing to get an order fulfilled, the family-friendly food options are great little bites. Options include Shark Fin PB&J Sandwiches, MacAttack Shark Bites, Baby Shark Cookie Dippin& Dots, Baby Shark-Cuteries and more.

Whether it is the first summer visit or the last visit before school starts, Shark Appreciation Week is the perfect time to head to SeaWorld Orlando. Grab your herd and dive into the adventure.
