SeaWorld Orlando: A Snack Lover’s Paradise

Sea World Orlando is more than just thrilling rides and adorable marine animals; it’s also a culinary adventure, especially if you know where to look and when to visit. The park caters to every taste and wants with a wide range of food options, from classic theme park fare to international flavors. But what truly sets SeaWorld apart is its incredible selection of snacks. Here are the top snacks that keep park visitors queueing up. 

If you’re like I am, you remember theme park food as hot dogs, popcorn, and slushies. While you can still find them in most parks, thankfully the days of common snacks are long gone. Theme parks are upping their foodie game with fresh, unique offerings – including snacks. Here are the best snacks at SeaWorld and why you need to give them all a go. 

Sweet Indulgences

If you have a sweet tooth, check out these SeaWorld snacks:

Edy’s Ice Cream

A classic for a reason, Edy’s Ice Cream offers plenty of flavors to beat the Florida heat. From rich chocolate to classic vanilla to refreshing sorbet, there’s a good bet you’ll find your favorite. Additionally, don’t miss out on their specialty shakes, which can be spiked for those 21 and over.  

Frozen German Chocolate Cake

This decadent treat is a must-try for chocolate lovers over 21. Creamy, rich, and perfectly chilled, it’s the ultimate indulgence. If you love chocolate and caramel vodka, you’ll dig this one. You’ll find it during the Seven Seas Festival. 

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Waffle Cone

A mecca of flavors and textures, this waffle cone is a work of snack art. The sweet and tangy (thanks to the cheesecake) is irresistible, as is the crunchy coke it comes in. 

Savory Sensations

Savory’s on the other side of the snacking coin. Here are must-taste non-sweet snacks at SeaWorld:

Pretzel Nuggets

If you’re a fan of the good old traditional twisty pretzel, Seaworld had a fun twist on the classic theme park pretzel. Ideal for sharing, they’re never a bad idea to pair them with spicy mustard and beer-infused cheese for a decadent snack.

Lobster White Cheddar Mac and Cheese

For a truly decadent and indulgent treat, look no further than this creamy, cheesy masterpiece. Found in the American Market during the Seven Seas Food Festival, the addition of lobster elevates this classic comfort food to new heights. Sure, it’s a snack but I’d lean it more to the light meal side. 

Crispy Pork Belly Bites

These crispy, flavorful bites, served with white rice and curly greens, are a perfect balance of savory and sweet. A great snack to share with friends or enjoy on your own, it’s not low in calories – but theme park food doesn’t count, right?

International Flavors

No worries about skipping snacks with an international flair; SeaWorld has some great ones:

Esquites

A Mexican street food staple, esquites is a delicious and refreshing corn salad. Perfect for a light and flavorful snack, it has mayo, cheese, chili powder, and fresh lime for a nice kick. 

Korean BBQ Lamb Ribs

For a taste of adventure, try some tender and flavorful lamb ribs. The perfect blend of sweet and savory, they’re sticky and full of heat. 

Giant Tempura Prawns

These colossal prawns are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. If you’re a seafood lover, you’ll want to make a beeline to the Asian Market during the Seven Seas Food Festival.
