SeaWorld launches Ultimate VIP Tour in Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio
Enjoy the fun and education of SeaWorld the stress-free way with the Ultimate VIP Tour, a private experience now offered at the company’s Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio parks.

Your Dream Day at SeaWorld
During SeaWorld’s Ultimate VIP Tour, a guide will escort your party (and only your party) around the park for a deluxe visit. You’ll skip the line at every ride, sit in a reserved area at every show, and participate in multiple animal encounters. Before your arrival, you’ll log into the VIP Concierge, where you can customize your itinerary for your dream day SeaWorld.
The Ultimate VIP Tour also includes preferred parking, food, and PhotoKey downloads. Plus, photographers will be onhand all day to snap your pics.

The SeaWorld Ultimate VIP Tour is the park’s first tour of its kind in 50 years.
“We are introducing the Ultimate VIP Tour as a special combination of personalized education and thrills that will enrich an already great day and turn it into a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the whole family,” said Marisa Thalberg, chief marketing and communications officer at SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. “There is so much to do in our parks, but also so much to experience, and learn, and that’s what makes this such a unique opportunity.”

Other SeaWorld Guided Experiences
If you’d like to add a special experience to your SeaWorld day, but don’t think the Ultimate VIP Tour is quite your speed, all SeaWorld parks offer shorter, less-expensive add-ons to your ticket, including individually sold encounters with the parks’ animals. Alternatively, consider the Family Adventure Tour, in which a guide escorts you and up to 12 other guests from other parties through several park experiences.
All three SeaWorld parks in the U.S. debuted new attractions for summer 2023.
