How to see sharks?

[pocohontas2004]

At SeaWorld, what are the options for viewing sharks? We know about the restaurant, but aren't sure if that will fit in. If not, are there other shark viewing options?

the restaurant is actually part of the whole shark encounter exhibit.

you walk through a massive aquarium system with lion fish, barracuda, moray eels on the way to the main tank. you step onto a people mover that takes you through a plexiglass tube with the sharks and other species of fish swimming next to you and above you.

there's an outside viewing area with rays and bonnetheads outside the restaurant. inside the gift shop next to Journey to Atlantis, there's an aquarium where the floor and ceiling are glass and you can see more bonnetheads there as well.

Then of course you can pay extra and do a deep dive where they take you inside the exhibit and let you feed the sharks....very cool....

If you can squeeze the restaurant in it was very nice. The food was not to our liking but 1 small appetizer pizza is actually big enough for a few people to snack on.

If you take the Predators tour, you get to pet a couple of white-spotted bamboo sharks as your "animal encounter". Very docile animals.

if you drive over to the Gulf side, I'll take you out and drop a chum block. you can pet the real things in a matter of minutes.

I called today about the Predators Tour. I was told you get to pet the small shark-see the shark tank from above (behind the scenes) - learn about sharks and go behind the Shamu tanks.
The tour takes about an hour.
There are up to 16 people in a tour. So you may be touring with other groups/families.
The cost is $18/for adults. Sorry I don't remember the cost for children.
The cost is in addition to park admission.
You can make reservation at any time...and you should make reservations.
You can cancel your reservation w/ refund up to 24 hours before your tour.
Hope that helps.
