    Discovery Cove® Tips

    Whether it’s your first visit or you want to refine your approach, here are tips for having the adventure of a lifetime at Discovery Cove®.

    Reserve in Advance

    Capacity is limited, and reservations are required. Save by purchasing authorized discount tickets to top theme parks and attractions from Visit Orlando powered by BestofOrlando.com.

    Arrive Early

    Discovery Cove is open from 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. Make the most of your day by checking in early to fit all of the animal adventures into your visit.

    Leave Jewelry at Home

    For the safety of the animals, and the protection of your valuables, leave your jewelry behind.

    Safe Fun in Sun

    You should protect yourself from Florida’s sun while playing in the water or working on your tan, even on cloudy days. Discovery Cove will provide you with sunblock — please be sure to use it.

    Pack Lightly

    Keep things simple and portable, especially when traveling with kids. The last thing you want to do is juggle personal items around and feel weighed down. Streamline your necessities for a smoother day.

    Stay Hydrated

    As an all-inclusive park, water and other drinks are included in your day — drink often.  With all the excitement, someone might forget to stay adequately hydrated.

    Prepare for Rain

    This is Florida. Chances are it might rain. But seeing as you are already at a water park, you probably are not concerned with getting wet. Still, heed any warnings about leaving the water should they be made.
