Come face-to-fin with some of the ocean's most fascinating predators in a newly refreshed exhibit!

Shark Encounter immediately immerses guests in an interactive journey from sunny shores to the deep, open ocean, beginning with a newly designed entrance framed by lush foliage that opens into a vibrant coastal beach scene. At the surface level, guests can observe sharks from above while discovering fun and informative facts throughout the sandy setting. Educational signage and photo opportunities provide insights into shark behavior, habitats, and conservation. As visitors move deeper into the winding exhibit, the environment transforms into a breathtaking underwater perspective where sharks glide overhead.

Two signature moments await within the underwater caverns. The first is the shark tunnel - a moving walkway that carries guests through a transparent passage beneath a sweeping habitat, creating the unforgettable sensation of being surrounded by sharks in a 180-degree underwater world. The journey concludes at a stunning floor-to-ceiling glass wall, where vibrant marine life is paired with dynamic LED multimedia technology that brings the story of sharks to life.

Ocean of Dreams will be presented nightly from May 22 through August 9. The show then shifts to a weekend-only schedule through September 7, aligning with SeaWorld’s summer season.

Ocean of Dreams tells a 12-minute story of marine life, highlighting the beauty of underwater ecosystems. See dazzling depictions of fan-favorite animals, including sea otters, sharks, dolphins, and a majestic orca - culminating in an electric neon finale celebrating hope, wonder, and ocean stewardship. With 600 fully synchronized drones and a soaring soundtrack, this breathtaking nighttime display invites guests to celebrate the beauty of the ocean, inspired by marine life and ocean conservation.

Elephant Valley is an immersive journey for guests to learn about the crucial role elephants serve as ecosystem engineers, and better understand the nuances of the herd’s rich social structure. Surrounded by elephants on multiple sides, guests will encounter what it feels like to walk beside the herd. The dynamic savanna at the heart of the Safari Park aims to generate greater empathy, understanding and appreciation for elephants, encouraging guests to protect them for generations to come.
