Sea World Attractions and Rides
Which Sea World Attractions and Rides Will You Try?
|
Sea World attractions include shows, animal exhibits, rides and tours. Try Bermuda Triangle ride, fly in Sea World helicopter, play in the Sesame Street zone and watch the show or get up close and personal with the sharks in Shark Bay. |
Planning Is Essential!
It is the key to making your day at Sea World most enjoyable and make
sure you are not trying to explain to the kids why you missed seeing
the Seal Show or the Polar Bears.
The show schedule does change, so I
cannot give you a failsafe itinerary! We always grab the
schedule on the way in and then work out what we plan to do.
Otherwise you may miss one of the Sea
World attractions or shows.
Sea World attractions are mostly open all day (except for maintenance or other reasons), but the shows only run at certain times.
Without an advance plan you may find yourself hiking up and down the park. Not good if you have young children!

If you have booked an animal adventure or tour, you need to work around those times as they are not flexible!
The main animal attractions at Sea World on the Gold Coast are:
- Dugongs
- Seals
- The famous Sea World dolphins!
- Polar
Bears - amazing viewing above and below the waterline.
- Shark
Bay - incredible viewing of sharks, fish and rays from
above and below the waterline
- Pelicans
- Penguins
Please note, especially if you are visiting from overseas: There are no whales at Sea World on the Gold Coast. However
there
are whale watching tours from June to November each year to see the
migrating humpback whales off the coast.

- Fish
Detectives Seal Show
This is a great show for kids and
adults! Hunt for Golden Seal was replaced by Fish Detectives in 2008.
- Sesame
Street Show
Great show for the little, little ones
- Waterski
Wipeout Show
A bit of nostalgia about the original use of this Gold Coast theme park and some Australian humour!
- Imagine
Sea
World dolphin show is a must see. The dolpins at Sea World
are
incredible, make sure you have your camera ready. If you don't mind
getting a bit wet sit in the front row!

- Planet
SOS in 4D
This is a mix of entertainment and education. Personally, I found it
a bit scary for little kids but the older kids will definitely
enjoy.
When
you go to the shows don't forget to photo the children's faces as well
as the show.
Some of the photos I have like this are priceless
memories
of happy holidays and fun together as a family. |
One of the best attractions of Sea World?
Seeing the kids enjoying the show!

Sea World Rides
- Sesame
Street Beach (formerly Cartoon Network Beach)
- Grand Central Train Tour
- Sky High Skyway
- Sea World Mono Rail
- Sea World Eye (removed in early 2008 - sadly,
it was an awesome view)
- Bermuda Triangle
- Vikings Revenge Flume Ride
- Corkscrew Rollercoaster
- Pirate Ship
Sesame
Street Beach
Children's
Area includes several rides specifically for the
younger children including a carousel.
We often do a couple of rides as a family and
then split up with our older child doing the roller coaster and pirate
ship, whilst the younger one does the Sesame Street Rides. It
works well for everyone. Then we all have an ice-cream! |

These Sea World attractions and the Animal Adventures are not included
in the price of your Sea
World tickets. You will need to book your tickets
for these separately. |
This
should give you a taste of what you can expect on a day at Sea World.
Attractions are obviously sometimes not open due to scheduled
maintenance and other factors. Best to check when you arrive
at
the park so you can plan around it. This is usually quite well signed
in the park.
