The rides are only gimmicks to the real entertainment, but they should not be overlooked. The park has a lot of rides to offer, from coasters to observation towers. Kraken, a floorless roller coaster is themed after the legend of the Kraken, as you might has suspected. While rides like the Journey to Atlantis offer a break from the thrills and mixes a mild thrilling experience with the calm adventure of a typical boat ride.

The animal exhibits are one of the many reasons people decide to stop into Sea World. With animals from north to south, there is honestly something for any animal enthusiast to enjoy. The Penguin and shark encounters are both indoor exhibits that allow guests to experience animals that normally live thousands of miles away. The Dolphin Cove lets guests touch and feed Bottlenose Dolphins, which is one of the most memorable exhibits in the entire park. Oddly enough, the park also has a flamingo pong, which is not exactly fitting for the type of park that SeaWorld is, but entertaining nonetheless.

The park is now one of the most visited parks in the world with over 6 million guests each year. Although the amount of rides is small, and the coasters are not plentiful, the park is still extremely entertaining.
