SeaWorld SkyTower, Observation tower at SeaWorld, Florida.
The SeaWorld SkyTower is an observation tower featuring a double-decker rotating cabin that spins slowly as it rises. From the top, you can see across the entire park and out toward the wider Orlando landscape in all directions.
The tower opened in 1974 and was Florida's tallest structure of its kind when it first appeared. It became a defining landmark as the park expanded into a major entertainment destination.
The tower's cabin is a double-decker rotating pod, and the ride is known for the slow 360-degree turn that lets passengers look over the whole park. The structure is topped by a flagpole reaching 425 feet above the ground, the highest point of the tower.
The ride up is slow and deliberate, giving you time to photograph the park and surroundings from different angles. Plan your visit on clear days for the best visibility and bring a camera with a good zoom.
The structure gained an advanced LED lighting system in 2013 that illuminates its frame during evening hours. This transforms the experience into something different at night, making it visible from across the park when the sun sets.
