Come on, first of all rest assured that your shark encounter at Shark Encounter at SeaWorld Orlando will be as safe as possible.
You won't be swimming with the sharks or risking your youngest child's leg.
In fact, you will see different information and types of sharks and go through an underwater tunnel surrounded by an aquarium full of sharks!
That's right, for those who like to see these beasts of the sea, you will hardly have a better experience than this without getting wet or taking small risks.
This is definitely a must-see attraction for anyone who loves aquariums and those fantastic creatures that are sharks!
What is Seaworld's Shark Encounter like
You will enter Shark Encounter through one of the largest underwater viewing tunnels in the world.
I remember the first time I walked through this tunnel, I was very young, but it was an attraction that marked me forever.
So much so that nowadays the Shark Encounter attraction is a mandatory stop for me every time I go to Seaworld Orlando.
Once inside the tunnel you will be surrounded by hundreds of different species of sharks from around the world swimming above and beside you in the 15 meter long tunnel.
The experience is incredibly unique as you really feel like you're underwater with these incredible creatures.
For a better idea of what you'll find there, check out the video below:
But sharks aren't the only underwater creatures you'll see during this adventure.
Before reaching the great shark tunnel, you can learn more about how sharks not only help the ocean, but are also being hunted to the point of extinction.
The SeaWorld has increasingly modified its attractions to bring more information and awareness to people about marine life and how to protect these animals.
There are also interactive elements to Shark Encounter, such as a touchscreen, which allows you to compare different shark species and learn more about each one.
Also, visitors can see live shark eggs in a kind of incubator.
When you press the on-screen button, a light turns on, revealing baby sharks, also known as pups.
Is it worth going to Shark Encounter?
If you like aquariums and especially large aquariums where you can see a lot of marine life, Shark Encounter will definitely be worth it for you.
I particularly love it, as I said earlier, I do this attraction on every visit to SeaWorld Orlando.
It is an attraction that is usually very cool for children and fans of aquariums and marine life.
Bonus: Have a meal watching the sharks
If all those shark encounters make you hungry, you can end your day as a predator with one more shark encounter at the Sharks Underwater Grill.
This full-service restaurant once again puts you face-to-face with the ocean's fiercest predators, while your table is next to a giant shark tank! Dining has never been so scary!
We already ate there and showed everything in our Youtube channel:
It is a very fun experience due to the giant aquarium.
