Shark Touch Pool opens at SeaWorld Orlando

By Leah Zanolla | Published August 13, 2016

A new Shark Touch Pool has opened at SeaWorld Orlando. Guests will be able to touch an epaulette shark, a white-spotted bamboo shark, and a brownbanded bamboo shark.

The new area is located next to the Wild Arctic ride and is designed to educate guests about the sharks. A SeaWorld employee will give guests tips on how and where to touch the animals.

In addition to the shark pool, which is about waist-high for adults, there are cooling ceiling fans and several Adirondack chairs.

Leah grew up in a little farming town in Illinois, right on the Mississippi River. Her Chicago-born husband, David, left the city for her, and they're now raising their three children (Jacob, Jonah and Lydia) just 12 miles from her hometown. As the Senior Editor of the DIS (wdwinfo.com), Leah spends a lot of time writing about, reading about, and discussing Disney. So, it should come as no surprise that one of her family's favorite ways to spend time is going to Walt Disney World and traveling on Disney Cruise Line. She also enjoys shopping, watching movies with her husband and doing crafts with and for her kids.
