After a long hiatus, Dine with Shamu is now open and they are taking reservations online and in the park. SeaWorld is running a great deal on Dine with Shamu right now. Normally, adults are $29 and kids (ages 3-9) are $19, but if you book now through December 25th, kids are free with a paid adult’s admission. A family of four could enjoy Dine with Shamu for roughly $60.
So what does Dine with Shamu offer?
First and foremost, Dine with Shamu offers food! The food is all natural, and it is buffet style. The menu offers a wide variety, including some seafood, and things that your kids would love!
We caught up with Hector Colon, Executive Chef at SeaWorld Orlando who tells us a little bit about the menu at Dine with Shamu.
