Discovery Cove Day Only - Swim Ticket

If you would like to include a 30-minute dolphin swim experience, make sure you select a Discovery Cove with Dolphin Swim Ticket.
If you choose the Discovery Cove without Dolphin Swim Ticket you will NOT be allocated a dolphin swim.

Yes – your ticket is valid for 14 consecutive days, so you can use it to visit SeaWorld and Aquatica (and Busch Gardens with the Ultimate Ticket) anytime over a 14-day period around your Discovery Cove visit date.

We will send you an e-ticket which you simply present when you arrive, and will allow you to avoid the queues and enter the park straight away!

FloridaTix is an official authorised ticket broker for Discovery Cove tickets. This park no longer issues “real” tickets, only e-tickets.

Yes – just head to the entrance and scan yourself straight in!

Don’t worry! You’ll be given a lanyard after the first time you scan your paper ticket. Then you can put your ticket away in a locker at the park.

Children under 3 years of age do not need a ticket to enter Discovery Cove. However, you MUST phone us to let us know you’re bringing a little one once you’ve made your booking. Call us free on 0800 980 5552 with your booking reference handy.

Please do not put on sunscreen before you get to Discovery Cove!
Normal sun creams are dangerous to the wildlife that lives here, so you will be given a sample of “animal-friendly” sun lotion when you arrive, and can buy more of this at the park.

Limited capacity so booking is essential!
Discovery Cove has limited capacity to 1300 people each day, and it’s so popular that tickets can sell out months in advance! It’s absolutely essential to pre-book your tickets to ensure you can visit on your chosen date.
Pay less with UK exclusive prices!
By pre-booking your tickets you’ll make huge savings before you even travel to Florida!
Our Discovery Cove tickets are exclusive to UK customers and can’t be bought in the USA. This means we can give you unbeatable value compared with the price of ‘on the day’ gate tickets.
