SeaWorld Orlando’s 2026 events promise to deliver diverse entertainment options, starting
with the Three Kings Celebration the first weekend of January, honoring the cherished tradition
of Latin cultures. Also in January, SeaWorld’s Inside Look, invites guests behind-the-scenes for
a rare glimpse into the world-class care and conservation efforts at one of the world’s premier
zoological institutions.
For families, the Just for Kids Weekend and Elmo’s Birthday Celebration offer hands-on
activities, character meet-and-greets and interactive dance parties that will delight children of
all ages.
Food lovers will not want to miss the upcoming Seven Seas Food Festival, featuring ALL-NEW
global cuisines, local craft beers and live performances. Complementing the festival are cultural
celebrations, like Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo. NEW for 2026 is the

military.
Summer at SeaWorld heats up with a lot of NEW experiences. Electric Ocean returns with ALL
