Holiday events at SeaWorld Orlando

SeaWorld Orlando is getting into the spirit of the Christmas season with the return of the Polar Express Experience now through January 3, plus several new Christmas shows performed weekends only until December 13, and daily from December 19 through January 13.

Based on the movie and book of the same name, The Polar Express Experience recreates classic scenes from the animated film as guests are immersed in a multi-sensory experience with special lighting, scent, sound and motion effects. And in true SeaWorld style, passengers aboard this Polar Express will be treated to the sight of beluga whales, polar bears and walruses in a Winter Wonderland setting.

The holiday shows at SeaWorld Orlando include the return of Shamu Christmas—Miracles, featuring festive Christmas carols and the amazing feats of Shamu the killer whale. Christmas-themed shows that are new to SeaWorld include Clyde and Seamore’s Countdown to Christmas (Clyde and Seamore are SeaWorld’s resident sea lions), a Sesame Street Christmas featuring Elmo, Big Bird and Abby Cadabby, and Winter Wonderland on Ice at Bayside Stadium.
