SeaWorld Orlando Summer Spectacular returns with fireworks, live shows, BBQ events, and the all-new Expedition Odyssey attraction.

Summer is here, and a sea of excitement awaits, according to SeaWorld Orlando, as the park kicks off its Summer Spectacular celebration. Starting in June, a SeaWorld dazzling drone show will light up the night sky as part of the park’s signature Ignite fireworks show over SeaWorld’s central lake. There’s also all-new live entertainment as well as returning fan-favorite events, including Bands, Brew & BBQ, vibrant parades, and delicious summer fare. Plus, the park’s newest attraction, Expedition Odyssey, is now officially open to all guests.

SeaWorld Orlando Summer Spectacular Line-Up

• Expedition Odyssey: This attraction combines cutting-edge ride technology, breathtaking all-real-world footage, and close-up encounters with Arctic wildlife to deliver the most immersive, multi-sensory Arctic flying theater experience ever created. As guests disembark from the ride, the breathtaking adventure continues with face-to-face and up-close encounters with real Arctic animals, including beluga whales, seals, and walruses.
• Drone Show + Ignite Fireworks Spectacular: Starting in June, end the night with an unforgettable spectacle as hundreds of drones light up the sky in perfect sync with the electrifying anthem “Feeling Electric.” As the music pulses through the air, the night sky transforms into an ocean-inspired dreamscape, with vibrant waves, glowing sea creatures and bursts of color rippling above in a mesmerizing aerial display. Just when it seems complete, the drones transition into glowing “fireflies,” seamlessly leading into the park’s signature Ignite fireworks show over SeaWorld’s central lake. It’s more than a finale—it’s a sky-dancing celebration of the sea like never before.
