“Super Shark Summer is one of our favorite times of the year at SEA LIFE Orlando,” said Kelli Cadenas, curator of SEA LIFE Orlando. “We’re excited to introduce new interactive education stations that help guests get up close to the science and wonder of sharks. It’s a fun way for families to dive deeper into ocean conservation and leave with a newfound appreciation for these incredible animals.”

Guests can explore four interactive educational stations throughout the aquarium to learn about unique shark species that call SEA LIFE home. These include coral catsharks, blacktip reef sharks, bamboo sharks, bonnethead sharks, epaulette sharks and zebra sharks.
The zebra sharks are part of a Species Survival Plan with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, highlighting SEA LIFE’s commitment to conservation.
For an extra splash of fun, guests can upgrade their visit with two exciting add-on experiences:
- Behind the Scenes Tour ($10): Get a shark-themed look behind the curtain as aquarists show how they care for the aquarium’s toothy residents—feeding, habitat maintenance, and more.
- Virtual Reality Shark Dive ($8): Swim alongside tiger sharks in their natural habitat with this thrilling, immersive VR adventure.
Earlier this month, SEA LIFE Orlando aquarists participated in Coralpalooza, a coral restoration event in Key West. Supported by the SEA LIFE TRUST, the team helped transplant nursery-raised coral onto endangered Florida reef systems, reinforcing their dedication to ocean health and habitat recovery.
Guests can learn more about these conservation efforts during the Behind-the-Scenes Tour at SEA LIFE Orlando.
