ORLANDO, Fla. – The ocean’s most beloved — and most misunderstood — creatures are getting their moment in the spotlight at SeaWorld Orlando this summer.

Now through Sept. 7, Baby Shark is making waves just in time for Shark Appreciation Week, July 27–Aug. 1.

Families can catch Baby Shark and Pinkfong live at Seaport Theater, where guests are invited to sing, dance and — yes — doo doo doo along with the global sensation. The interactive show is included with park admission, as are meet-and-greet opportunities with the characters.

Shark-themed bites are also on the menu, including Shark Fin PB&J Sandwiches, MacAttack Shark Bites, Baby Shark Cookie Dippin’ Dots and Shark-cuterie Boards. Guests 21 and older can also raise a glass with the limited-time Shark Margarita, available exclusively during Shark Appreciation Week.

Beyond the fun, SeaWorld’s animal care experts will host daily Aquarist Talks at Shark Shallows throughout the week, offering guests a closer look at why sharks are essential to healthy ocean ecosystems.

The park is also marking a milestone — the 10th anniversary of Mako, Orlando’s tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster.

Pass members can purchase a limited-edition Guy Harvey commemorative card for $5, with 100% of net proceeds, before taxes, benefiting the Guy Harvey Foundation’s shark conservation efforts.

Tickets to SeaWorld Orlando start at $59.99. For more information, click here.
