SeaWorld Ohio was a park in the SeaWorld chain of marine animal theme parks. The park opened in 1970 directly across the lake and less than one mile from Geauga Lake Park in Aurora, Ohio, United States. The small lake separated the two parks. Wildwater Kingdom, a small waterpark built by Cedar Fair in 2005, occupied the property until it closed in 2016.

After a $40 million investment that expanded the park and added 20 rides, Busch Entertainment and Six Flags started conversations about merging Sea World and Six Flags Ohio. The idea was to compete against two other formidable Ohio parks, King's Island and Cedar Point. After some discussion, Six Flags purchased the neighboring SeaWorld Ohio.

The amusement park was joined on the shore by SeaWorld Ohio in 1970 then subsequently merged with it to become Six Flags Worlds of Wonder under the ownership of Six Flags. Unfortunately, however, by 2004, park attendance was on the decline and the once 2.5 million visitors became closer to 700,000 which led to the amusement park being shut.

SeaWorld Ohio opened in the spring of 1970 and quickly became a popular family destination. After a three-decade run, the park closed in the early 2000s. It may be gone, but the memories of summer trips to Geauga Lake are still all too real for many Ohioans. If you're wondering what the old park looks like now, you're not alone and you may.
