The Waterfront at Sea World
The Waterfront at SeaWorld, is the park’s largest expansion. Inspired by the sights, sounds and character of vibrant seaports around the world, this 5-acre nautical neighborhood bustles with activity and immerses guests in a rich tapestry of festive entertainment, dining and shopping.
Strolling through The Waterfront, guests may encounter an assortment of charming residents who bring the streets to life. The Harbormaster welcomes visitors and shares tall tales of life on the sea; comedic longshoremen entertain passersby with improvisational comedy and zany antics; and various musical ensembles serenade guests with the sounds of the Mediterranean.
What seaport is complete without a menagerie of mischievous felines roaming the docks? Kat 'n' Kaboodle is a “purr”-ific new street show featuring 16 exotic breeds of cats -- including Bengal, Sphynx, Persian and Siamese -- that demonstrate amazing feats as they climb ropes and cause havoc in the harbor. Guests enjoy the show in an intimate setting, standing only five feet from the action.
Eating at The Waterfront is part of the adventure, with numerous venues showcasing food as performance art. At Voyagers Wood Fired Pizzas, guests are welcomed by Chefs “Dominick and Luigi,” whose high-flying, pizza-flipping talents are amazing to watch. At The Seafire Inn, chefs prepare stir-fry dishes on a 4-foot Mongolian wok for everyone to see. Both café-line eateries feature an array of food selections inspired from faraway places.
If music is your cup of tea, Rico & Roza’s Musical Feast at The Seafire Inn is guaranteed to please. Proprietors Rico and Roza regale park guests with tunes and tall tales in a 25-minute musical celebration of food, family and fun. This daytime show encourages audience participation with an amusing blend of music and comedy.
As the sun sets over the harbor, The Seafire Inn turns Polynesian as it hosts the Makahiki Luau, a bountiful celebration featuring the ancient customs, rhythmic music and dance, authentic costumes and cuisine of the Pacific Islands.
Visitors can take in a spectacular view of The Waterfront from The Tower, SeaWorld’s 400-foot landmark located on the all-new Tower Island. At the base of The Tower, an ancient fortress has been turned into the SandBar, a pub overlooking the picturesque harbor. Here, guests can dine on upscale appetizers such as sushi and enjoy signature martinis while listening to live musicians.
Not only is the cuisine inspired by exotic lands, the shops and boutiques at The Waterfront also have an international influence. The stores showcase wares and treasures from ports all around the world, as well as new lines designed specifically for SeaWorld -- such as the whimsical, glittering SeaFairy doll collection. Several shops also feature make-your-own gifts and keepsakes, such as beaded jewelry, fragrant colognes and bath gels.
Artisans from the ports of Bali, Indonesia, Italy and South America demonstrate their crafts at Tropica Trading Company. Children’s dreams come true at Allura’s Treasure Trove when they design their own porcelain dolls -- the only such program in the United States. The Waterfront’s centuries-old apothecary is home to Swirls Sweet Shoppe, featuring custom concoctions such as sea-life-shaped candies, and Under The Sun offers unique collectibles and accessories to brighten up any kitchen and home.
A dazzling display of light ends the day at SeaWorld with Fireworks at The Waterfront. Stirring music fills the air, and breathtaking pyrotechnics are fired from every corner of the Harbor.
Regardless of time of day, The Waterfront at SeaWorld is a colorful mosaic of sights, sounds and flavors –- all infused with the fun and festive spirit of the Mediterranean. Its rich blend of culture, cuisine, and characters transports the imagination to faraway lands and takes its visitors on an exotic adventure.
