Manatee Rehabilitation Area

Visitors are invited to step behind-the-scenes and catch a glimpse of SeaWorld’s working manatee rescue and rehabilitation facility to learn more about the plight of these vulnerable animals in the wild.

Behind the scenes of the theme park is SeaWorld’s bustling, five acre Rescue Center used for rehabilitating wildlife that has been ill, injured or orphaned – including manatees, sea turtles, birds and other marine animals. While a guided tour of the entire facility has been available for years, the park has now opened up one portion of this area for complimentary viewing to all park guests. See firsthand some of the top problems today’s manatee populations are facing and simple actions we can all take to help through interactive displays and rescue footage straight from the SeaWorld Animal Rescue Team.
