Explore the Wonders of the Ocean at SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium in ICON Park

SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium has arrived at ICON Park in Orlando.

If you’re fascinated by the ocean or searching for a memorable family outing, the new SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium offers interactive experiences that bring the underwater world to life—no scuba gear required. Located on International Drive within ICON Park, this indoor attraction showcases more than 5,000 marine animals in immersive displays.

Every exhibit is crafted to bring visitors right into the habitat, featuring bubble aquariums, floor‑to‑ceiling panels, and 180‑degree tunnels that cater to adults and children alike.

One of the highlights is the 360‑degree shark tunnel, where you’ll feel surrounded by sharks, sting‑rays, vibrant fish, and a majestic grouper that seems to glide overhead.

Guests can also get hands‑on in the live‑touch pool, where they can feel sea anemones, sea urchins, starfish, and a variety of small fish.

Most visitors spend between one and two hours exploring the aquarium, and if the kids need more adventure, a two‑story playground is available for additional fun.

SEA LIFE Orlando is part of the new ICON Park entertainment complex, which also hosts Madame Tussauds and the 400‑foot‑tall observation wheel, The Wheel.
