Educational Information

Shark Encounter takes visitors through an acrylic tunnel beneath a 280,000-gallon tank filled with sharks, sawfish, and tropical fish. The walk-through experience provides close-up views of these ancient predators from below — a perspective that reveals their grace and power.

Sharks have survived five mass extinctions over 400 million years, but now face their greatest threat from humans. Overfishing kills an estimated 100 million sharks per year. SeaWorld's shark exhibit challenges misconceptions and promotes shark conservation.
