We all want to visit the theme parks when we’re on vacation but sometimes we spend half the day trying to find shade and running for the AC. Well, this summer get out of the sun and stay late at SeaWorld for SeaWorld’s after dark rock ‘n’ roll extravaganza! There are shows that are just as exciting as if it were the middle of the day but even better. Shows such as Shamu Rocks that offers live music from the rock ‘n’ roll band in the background and spectacular visual effects. You can enjoy great food at the Shamu Rocks dinner buffet, where you enjoy poolside seating in the outdoor dining pavilion, then get escorted to reserved seats at Shamu Stadium for the exciting show. Bayside Ski Jam is an all new nighttime show located in Bayside Stadium, described as a “concert where the performers are skiers and the water is the stage.” Take in the performance of fast-moving wave runners pulling stunt kites and performing maneuvers as fireworks light up the sky in the background.
