Shark Week is just around the corner, occurring July 23rd through July 29th this year. The week-long television programming schedule has aired annually on the Discovery Channel since 1988. Always a topic of interest, sharks have gained a bad rap over the years. A pervasive focus on “attacks” continues to fuel an atmosphere of fear. However, SeaWorld’s newest offering, an immersive Ultimate Shark Experience, hopes to dispel some of those myths and stereotypes. We have all the info for you on SeaWorld’s Shark Experiences, which start today (July 21st)!
Shark Facts
Did you know that there are about 350 different species of sharks in the world? Out of these, less than 10% have been involved in what the public refers to as a “shark attack.”
Despite widespread events of “attacks,” most sharks are naturally programmed to steer away from human contact. They journey inland in search of fish and other marine life. That being said, it’s hard to avoid trepidation once aware of disturbing incidents in the news…
The Ultimate Shark Experience Ticket
SeaWorld is aiming to help people better understand sharks by educating guests on the species. To do this, the theme park is offering an immersive, first-of-its-kind shark experience for a limited time. SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Antonio, and SeaWorld San Diego are all participating in the event.
The Ultimate Shark Experience Ticket is available for a short duration, valid today, July 21st, through July 28th. The cost is $199 for the general public and $99 for passholders. A portion of each ticket ($25) will be allotted to shark conservation efforts.
Highlighted experiences include:
- Admission to the park
- Guided tour
