You know the Frog Family can't resist a special event or festival at any of the Orlando theme parks! SeaWorld is one of our favorite places to check out limited-time shows and exclusive offerings, because they always offer something truly out of the ordinary. They do such a killer (whale) job of highlighting their ocean theme.
This summer, SeaWorld Orlando is hosting Electric Ocean yet again, with more fun than ever before! Our favorite part about this event is that it truly brings SeaWorld alive at night with gorgeous, glowing decor and interactive excitement. What better way to enjoy the park outside of the afternoon sun?
Don't worry, there's plenty to enjoy all day long, but many of Electric Ocean's main events take place as the sun goes down. We're here to give you the latest and greatest details on SeaWorld's summer celebration, Electric Ocean.

Electric Ocean Exclusive Shows
Touch the Sky
Dolphin Theater
Newly debuted this summer, "Touch the Sky" features mind-blowingly choreographed dolphins and macaws in action as part of Electric Ocean. Between the fun, original soundtrack and talented animal ambassador cast, we can't get enough of this unique, new show.
Sea Lions Tonite
Sea Lion and Otter Stadium
If you're a fan of the regular Clyde and Seamore's Sea Lion High show, you will be laughing your fins off at Electric Ocean's Sea Lions Tonite. Sea lions are a frog family favorite, so this is a can't-miss show for us. After a long day at the park, you'll appreciate the humor of Clyde and Seamore packing a whole day at SeaWorld into 20 minutes. These goofy sea lions parody your favorite SeaWorld moments — the good and the bad — as they experience the shows, attractions and occasional frustrations of a day at the park.
Shamu's Celebration: Light Up the Night
Shamu Stadium
You haven't seen a whale show like this before. Electric Ocean's special evening spectacular presents SeaWorld's famous killer whales among original music and incredible lighting effects. The stadium transforms at night for a special edition Shamu show. This celebratory atmosphere creates an experience like no other as this high-energy production wows your whole frog family. Viewing is great from all areas, but be sure to sit up front if you're prepared for some splash!
SeaWorld and Bubble Legendary Present POP
Nautilus Theater
Have you ever heard of Bubble Masters? Neither had we, until we checked out this bubble art show at Electric Ocean last year. Bubbles come alive to imitate gorgeous ocean aesthetics for an engaging show for the whole family.
Ignite
Best viewed from Bayside Stadium
See the sea in the skies with SeaWorld Orlando's very own fireworks extravaganza! Fireworks inspired by under-the-sea beauty and color ignite the sky for your viewing pleasure. That's not all — fountains, music and light combine to produce a spectacle that is sure to captivate your senses. Ignite truly brings Electric Ocean to life.
Club Sea Glow
Be sure to pack your dancing shoes when you visit SeaWorld Orlando. Dance the night away from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. (weather permitting) at Bayside Stadium. This family-friendly "dance club" environment hosts world-class DJs and impressive performers that embody colorful ocean vibes.
4th of July
Best viewed from Bayside Stadium
On Independence Day, even the ocean is celebrating! Electric Ocean's "Ignite" will feature a patriotic grand finale in honor of the holiday.
All of the summer shows listed above come with your SeaWorld Orlando ticket, but special seating can be reserved at an additional cost if your family is leapin' to experience one in particular.
Electric Ocean Merchandise and Apparel
Become part of the party yourself with limited-edition merchandise that allows you to glow with the flow. Blacklight reactive shirts and glasses are available for purchase. There's a wide variety of merchandise using RFID technology to help you light up, blink and react to the beat! Souvenirs such as necklaces and glow wands respond to your surroundings, matching the color and beat of your light with those around you. It's an out-of-this-world experience.
Electric Ocean Dining
Ever since visiting SeaWorld Orlando's Seven Seas Food Festival, we can't stop obsessing over the food quality and selection here. Electric Ocean is no different, offering specially prepared treats at event food locations throughout the entire park.
That's what's new at SeaWorld Orlando. So open up our SeaWorld park plan, grab your tickets and experience the latest and greatest. Don't forget to dive into your classic favorites, such as watching the dolphins jump around, petting sting rays and admiring penguins.
