Stingray Lagoon
Type
Animal Encounter
Best For
Families
Despite their name, stingrays are one of the most docile species to inhabit the oceans. Here more than 200 rays - some with wingspans up to 5ft - spend warm days gliding through their habitat's peaceful waters. Reach your hand just below the surface, and you’re likely to feel a velvety “high five” as they swim by.
- This lagoon is huge. There is plenty of space to find a spot on your own and pet the stingrays as long as you want. They swim around in circles and some come close enough that you can touch them pretty often. It's fun!
- The staff are very helpful in guiding you if you are new to the experience.
- This is a must-do when at SeaWorld. It’s one of the more relaxing animal exhibits.
