🗣️ Wild Arctic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: It was an amazing experience. The interior set up looks very realistic. Loved the underwater Penguin swimming and walrus. We weren't lucky to see the beluga whale but the exhibition was still worth it. Try to keep Artic, Orca and bay stadium show together so that you won't end up walking back n Forth.
Positive experience: Best part of Wild Arctic is getting out of the Florida heat/humidity! The 2nd best is seing the Walruses & Belugas. No crowds on a Wednesday was nice. If you ride “Expedition Odyssey” your exit is into the “Wild Arctic!” So you kill 2 birds with one adventure! I gave it 4-stars because many of the buttons and other interactive exhibits didn’t work. For example the scale to compare our weight to creatures was broken or not set up!
Fantastic experience: My favorite exhibition in entire city of Orlando. Because I found my new son and his name is Kora. It’s so incredible to bond with this awesome creature (walrus) and I seriously think Kora remembers me. Among many spectators, Kora decides to interact with me. Not just today (12/31/23) but every time I visit him. Overall, this is very well designed exhibition that features Beluga wale, walrus, and sea lions. You may want to come here while the Orca show is going on to avoid big crowds. You may want to come here during hot summer months to cool yourself down. You may want to come here during cold winter months to warm yourself up. Myriad reasons to visit this awesome exhibition.
Fantastic experience: Long wait time, it's a nice chill 32 degrees Fahrenheit which is nice. Florida's residents quiver at the thought of such temperatures though...
Fantastic experience: It is perfect, especially hot weather outside. I love how we can see the Arctic mammals so close, and I like their decoration and design inside like I was in Antarctica. I wish there are enough signs for visitors to notice. Because we just went inside to buy souvenirs and found the entrance and the exhibition.
Negative experience: These poor sea creatures are kept 100% indoors and never see the sun. They’re kept in artificial environments, with a fake sky. Cruel and inhumane. This whole place should be shut down.
Fantastic experience: This is probably the most well designed exhibit in the park. It's themed nicely and animals are in great spots for viewing. The signage and entrance could be a little bit better though.
Fantastic experience: 6/12/23. My favorite animal exhibit at Seaworld. Plus it's definitely cooler than being outside. There is a giant block of ice you can feel to see how cold it is in the Artic.
Fantastic experience: Definitely the coolest (no pun intended) walkthrough you can find at SeaWorld Orlando. I walk through this every time I’m there. You are able to see beluga whales, walruses, and other sea creatures. They have removed the motion based simulator attraction, so I wonder if SeaWorld Orlando has plans to replace it with something new.
Fantastic experience: A nice spot tool cool off and check out the beluga whales, walrus, and seals. It’s a nice walk and there’s tons of underwater viewing of them. You enter and exit through the gift shop.
Fantastic experience: Loved it so excited to see the penguins.
Fantastic experience: Tucked inside the souvenir store is an exhibit of beluga whales, walruses and seals. We almost turned around because and did not go into the exhibit because we thought we were entering a staff only area. But no, there was a hidden gem behind the sign. There was underwater viewing and a lot of props and audio clips. It was really great and we almost missed it. I hope you get a chance to see the whales and other Arctic animals. I
Fantastic experience: People who work there are special. The experience was great.
Fantastic experience: Really unique to see a walrus exhibit. We paid for the behind the scenes tour and was really cool to see them up close and even feed them a fish!
Fantastic experience: I was shocked how amazing this place is! It's so big, it's two story!!! Can you imagine this, and uts just small part of SeaWorld!
Positive experience: The animals are adorable and cooler temperature inside helps cool ya off on hot days.
Fantastic experience: One of my daughter's favorite attentions
Positive experience: This is one of the best aquariums in the park. It is really cool to see the belugas an walruses close up. They do have really small pools and go around in circles all day because of it. I had to take off another star because of the ride. Don’t go just do the walking tour. It takes a lot to make mo motion sick but this ride manages it. It s basically an older arctic version of star tours that has not been updated since it was put in, and the movement doesn’t match the screen.
Positive experience: The big attractions were the roller coasters. My husband loved riding them but after that there wasn't much to do. I, personally, don't like to see animal shows but to see these creatures up close is really spectacular! These animals are truly amazing! If you love marine life then this is the place for you!!!
Positive experience: Don't take the ride. Just walk. Exhibit is cool and would recommend. But, the ride is dated, jolting, and not a fun experience. Skip it and be happy for it.
Positive experience: Freezing cold inside, but that's because of the penguins, so be prepared for that.
Positive experience: Fun simulation ride for the little ones love the beluga whales.
Positive experience: A dated ride that still offers an enjoyable experience. Could do with being replaced/or updated.
Positive experience: Don't do the helicopter ride to get to the "Arctic Base" neither the VERY OLD trivia after the ride. It's not worth the wait time for a bumpy 80's attraction. I think Sea World should upgrade / renew this attraction or give the space to something new. The good side of this is to still be able and get to see the live animals here and that otherwise you can only see in Discovery Channel's programs.
Fantastic experience: I did the walk through with young grand kids rest of family did the simulator kids loved seeing the animals
Fantastic experience: Fun experience and ride. It is nice to see the wildlife.
Fantastic experience: We enjoy this ride every visit. We skip the movie and walk right to the whales. It is like you are really there until you walk into the store upon exit.
Fantastic experience: The penguins are cool, you must check them
Fantastic experience: Again, amazing! The way they make it very realistic that you are in an arctic investigation lab is so mind blowing! Whatever you do, don't miss this! Even saw a beluga whale!
Positive experience: I enjoyed the theme and animals, but actual wild arctic ride needed to be replaced
Negative experience: I've been to theme parks and amusement parks in the US, UK and across Europe, this is without a doubt the worst ride I have ever been on. Poor decor, awful tv/projection (1980's video standard) and a ride that looks like it was made 30 years ago and never been refurbished. They'd be better off completely scrapping the ride element until they've built a replacement worthy of an Orlando theme park.
