2025 June 15 Orlando - Discovery Cove

We arrived at the park around 8:15am on Sunday, and there's already a line.  I do recommend getting here early to enjoy the free breakfast and gets an earlier appointment time for Dolphin swim (extra cost).  There is free lunch (do pay attention to the closing time), and drinks/sherbets/pizzas throughout the day.

My kids' favorites are the lazy river and petting pool.

The lazy river is very long, and there are quite a few deep spots, so a floaty is a must have.

Snorkel in the saltwater petting pool to watch for sting rays, sharks and big fish.  (I would recommend a wet suit or a vest at the least.)

We paid extra for the dolphin swim, which is about 30 mins with a group of 10.  We got to touch, kiss, hug and got pulled for a small distance with the dolphin.  The photos are quite expensive.
