Visiting Discovery Cove offers exceptional value because all-inclusive admission covers unlimited food, snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, gear such as snorkel equipment and wetsuits, towels, lockers, and free parking, creating a resort-style day without hidden expenses.
The all-inclusive admission provides freshly prepared breakfast and lunch, unlimited snacks, tropical smoothies, fountain drinks, beer, and wine throughout the day, alongside complimentary use of wetsuits, snorkel gear, towels, lockers, and sunscreen.
Visitors typically spend a full day, usually between 6 to 8 hours, to fully enjoy all the amenities and experiences. It is recommended to arrive early around 7:15 AM to check in, enjoy a relaxed breakfast, and secure your preferred timing for scheduled activities before the park opens.
The signature dolphin swim experience includes a brief educational orientation with a marine mammal specialist followed by an interactive, in-water session lasting approximately 30 minutes, where participants learn about dolphin behavior and interact closely with the animals.
Discovery Cove typically operates daily from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with check-in beginning at 7:15 AM. Breakfast is served from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM, and lunch is available from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the resort's central dining facilities.
