I have to tell you, when I found out about this, I was super excited to share it with you. SeaWorld Orlando is now offering guests the chance to sleep over! My nieces and nephews have gotten to do this through their scout programs - and LOVED IT - and now anyone can have this amazing opportunity!

Imagine lying down to sleep in your sleeping bag, next to your kids, and counting stingrays instead of sheep! It’s all possible at SeaWorld’s newest attraction, Manta, their flying roller coaster and animal habitat. You can snuggle up near penguins, snooze by the sharks and dream of dolphins at this super exciting nighttime sleepover experience.

Here's what's in store: the adventure begins at 6 p.m. with a pizza party followed by fun activities including making a craft that you can take home. You’ll also get up-close with some of the park’s amazing animals.

These sleepovers are offered year 'round and groups are welcome, too! You can also book a sleepover at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. (Sounds like a great place to have a child’s birthday party.)

See you there! Jill Martin, Family Insider, VISIT FLORIDA
