Behind the scenes: Do you want to see what happens behind the scenes here at SeaWorld? Your knowledgeable tour guide will provide fascinating facts about SeaWorld and our commitment to wildlife. Join us behind the scenes on this 90-minute tour to discover how SeaWorld animal experts care for rescued manatees and sea turtles. Then, help us separate shark fact from fiction before interacting with a small shark, explore one of our hidden polar bear dens and touch a penguin.


Penguin spotlight tour: Are you passionate about penguins? Partial to puffins? If so, travel from pole-to-pole with us on this 60-minute walking tour. Go behind-the-scenes of Penguin Encounter to hear from our animal care experts about what it takes to care for these unique birds. Get the rare opportunity to see a puffin up-close and interact with penguins.

We did a tour in 2008 that took us to see the polar bears as well as the penguins. It sounds more like the behind the scenes tour than the penguin spotlight tour. Anyone know the difference between "touch a penguin" and "interact with penguins?" We had our picture taken while touching a penguin on the head when we did the 2008 tour. I'm not sure which tour to sign up for at this point for our March 2010 trip.
