With over 200 international offerings and more than 30 headlining acts, this year’s festival isn’t just bigger—it’s bolder.

Unlock the All-New Secret Menu

In a festival first, SeaWorld is introducing a layer of mystery to the dining experience. Guests “in the know” can head to the hostess stand at Sharks Underwater Grill and ask about the Secret Menu.

This exclusive, insider experience unlocks a three-course chef-driven meal designed to surprise diners while they eat alongside majestic sharks. This limited-time experience is available daily throughout the festival (Jan 30 – May 17) but remains strictly for those who know the “secret.”
