🐬 Sea World Gold Coast | Ocean Park Adventure

#summervacay We set aside a full day for Sea World on the Gold Coast, and honestly — that was the right call! The park runs from 10:00am to 5:00pm, so there's plenty of time to enjoy everything without rushing. 🐢 Marine Life & Aquarium The aquarium section was incredibly calming — think sea turtles, sharks, and all kinds of mysterious fish whose names I couldn’t even guess. There’s also a touch pool for stingrays, where you can pet and feed them up close (feeding costs extra). Surprisingly, stingrays feel super smooth and slippery — not at all what I expected! 🐧 Penguin Feeding Heads-up: penguin feeding is a sensory shock! They’re adorable… but the smell? Absolutely brutal. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😂 🎭 Animal Shows Make sure to check the official Sea World website or park schedule in advance — most animal shows only run once or twice a day, so time your visit accordingly. 🎢 Rides & Attractions Storm Coaster: Not too intense, but you will get a little wet. Vortex: Even watching from below made my knees weak. This ride spins you 360° in midair — it feels more like it’s riding you than the other way around. Jet Rescue Coaster: A motorbike-style rollercoaster that launches at insane speed — your body’s in front, your soul’s catching up behind you. Leviathan: Was hyped as a must-ride, but sadly it was closed for maintenance the day we went 😢 📝 Tip: Sea World is more than just rides — it’s a great mix of thrills, sea life, and interactive experiences. A perfect day out for families, couples, or solo travelers who want a break from beach-hopping. #seaworldgoldcoast #australiathemeparks #goldcoastthingstodo #oceanadventure
