Expedition Odyssey: SeaWorld Orlando's Groundbreaking Arctic Adventure
SeaWorld Orlando has exciting news for adventure seekers and wildlife enthusiasts alike. The park is set to unveil
Expedition Odyssey, a pioneering Arctic adventure scheduled to open on
May 1, 2025. This cutting-edge attraction promises to deliver an immersive experience that transports guests directly into the wonders of the Arctic.
A Unique Fusion of Thrill and Reality
Expedition Odyssey is not just another theme park ride; it's a revolutionary journey that blends
state-of-the-art technology with real-world footage and animal encounters. Guests will embark on a spectacular expedition through towering glaciers and expansive tundra, exploring the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean.
Using dynamic motion and innovative visuals, this advanced ride will create an exhilarating atmosphere that feels both thrilling and authentic. Imagine gliding through the Arctic landscape while encountering majestic creatures like polar bears, orcas, and seals—all brought to life through exclusive footage captured in remote Arctic locations.
Adventure Awaits for Everyone
Designed to be family-friendly, Expedition Odyssey has a height requirement of only
39 inches, allowing adventurers of all ages to participate in this unforgettable Arctic journey. Whether you're young or simply young at heart, every family member can join in on the fun. Plus, it’s completely indoors, so visitors can enjoy the ride regardless of the weather.
Meet Real Arctic Wildlife
Once the ride concludes, the adventure continues with
live animal encounters that include beluga whales, seals, and walruses. One of the standout stars of this experience will be
Uki, a Pacific walrus calf who was rescued in Alaska and is now making her debut at SeaWorld Orlando.
Uki was brought to SeaWorld last September after being deemed non-releasable, and since then, the park's animal care specialists have worked tirelessly to nurture and support her growth. Uki will provide visitors with a chance to connect with a true
animal ambassador, showcasing the importance of conservation and the beauty of Arctic wildlife.
Behind-the-Scenes Opportunities
For those eager for even closer interactions with these magnificent animals, SeaWorld will offer exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences. Guests can take part in the
Beluga Whales Up-Close Tour, where they will stand at the poolside alongside these intelligent marine mammals. This unique opportunity allows guests to learn firsthand about their behaviors, intelligence, and conservation efforts directly from experts.

To truly experience all that Expedition Odyssey has to offer, SeaWorld recommends purchasing an
Annual Pass. As part of the Spring Spectacular Sale, a limited-time offer allows visitors to buy an annual pass and upgrade to the next tier for free.
