Create an itinerary including Sea World Theme Park
Not to be confused with the SeaWorld chain in the United States, Australia's Sea World Theme Park offers a mix of massive marine animal exhibits, dazzling shows, and thrilling rides. See how dolphins care for their young at the Dolphin Nursery Pool, observe penguins on land and underwater at Penguin Encounter, and get up close with sharks at Shark Bay. Polar Bear Shores serves as Australia's only polar-bear exhibit, and Ray Reef contains over 100 rays for you to feed. The seal show has an engaging storyline with both seals and humans acting it out. The rides area includes both thrilling roller coasters such as Sea Viper and children's adventure areas like Beach Break Bay.

  • In all fairness, this is more a review about the Penguin Experience than the park as a whole. We did enjoy our time at Sea World. But our interest was the wildlife. We went on the Jet Ski roller...

  • Beautiful place for kids. You can spend the whole day from 9-5 over here. My kids love the dolphins - watching them perform during feeding and during the show. The paw patrol meet and greet was fun for the kids too! Giving them lots of positive energy! There are a few rides for the kids and adults! Well maintained but there’s some queue from time to time…
  • This was our favourite adventure of all the famous attractions in Gold Coast. The people that work there are so friendly and so passionate about what they do. The facilities are brilliant with so many choices for things to do as well as food choices. The children’s play area is also very well designed. The neighbouring pirate ship attraction is also hilarious if you’re ready to get wet. The highlight is without a doubt the dolphin show. It is a fantastic show and you are so close to the water. The dolphins are huge as well! Highly advise to bring sun cream. They also offer short helicopter flights if you’re keen for that.
  • Great family outing to have. Plenty of shows and events on spread across the day to accommodate to all ages. Lots of beautiful animal displays and loved the new jellyfish exhibition. Would definitely come back again to this place. Only advice is to bring some sunscreen as it can get a little warm in summer. a few good food options and lots of ice cream around.
  • Loved the experience. Would have given 5 stars but most of the adrenaline rides were closed. Apart from that, loved the seal, dolphin shows, jelly fish centre, penguin and polar bear spots,etc. Good place to bring kids since there's lot to see. It would be a recreation as well as an educational visit. You can bring your own food and drinks and if you don't want to carry the weight, you have plenty of food options available at the theme park as well.
  • It was a great day out with different shows to watch. My most favourite ones were seal and dolphins show. Beautiful experience to have. Lovely and friendly staff too. Don’t forget to carry a hat, sunnies and sunscreen as it can get hot on a bright sunny day. Some main shows can have a long queue so prepare the day accordingly. Definitely worth visiting the place. Got to learn so much more about so many different water animals 💙
