SeaWorld Orlando adds guest reservation requirement for admission
ORLANDO, Fla. - SeaWorld Orlando will reopen to the public on June 11 – as long as you have a reservation in advance.
The theme park added the extra requirement for guests to their reopening plans. This affects guests wanting to attend SeaWorld, Aquatica and Discovery Cove.
The purpose is to help the parks manage capacity and meet physical distancing guidelines.
“To manage capacity, guests with tickets, Fun Cards, or Annual Passes must make a reservation prior to visiting the park,” the SeaWorld website reads. “Guests must bring their reservation eticket and their original ticket, Fun Card, or Annual Pass to the front gate for entry into the park.”
