SeaWorld Orlando is gearing up to help Central Florida families and visitors ring in the New Year with a spectacular celebration on December 31. The world-famous theme park will host an unforgettable New Year’s Eve event that blends the joy of the holiday season with exciting entertainment, festive experiences, and an electrifying fireworks finale to welcome 2026.
Running throughout the evening, the celebration includes delicious dining options, dazzling live shows, thrilling ride experiences, unforgettable animal encounters, and nonstop entertainment across the park. The festivities culminate in a breathtaking fireworks display visible from multiple areas around SeaWorld Orlando, creating a festive and family-friendly atmosphere for guests of all ages.
For those looking to elevate their evening, exclusive experiences are available, including a VIP fireworks viewing happy hour from a private waterfront patio with premium hors d’oeuvres, specialty cocktails, and a midnight champagne toast.

Champagne pop-up bars sprinkled throughout the park make it easy for adults to sip and toast as the clock ticks closer to midnight, while children and families enjoy rides and seasonal entertainment.
