BONUS TIPS! 1. Your bathing suit choice doesn’t matter because you will have the wet suit or the vest on ALL day 2. If you are planning on having a drink, I would get cash/small bills before you come that day 3. You will already be wearing a lanyard all day and have a vest or wetsuit, so I would suggest buying a water proof lanyard phone case off Amazon like the one in description! It would also hold your cash/ jewelry if you needed :) (The same ones are $35 there lol!) 4. If you eat lunch at 11 you may be hungry again before it closes at 3:30- you can always eat again! No one checks 😃 (of all the food- BEST was the pulled pork and you add the coleslaw to it- CHEFS KISS!)

Thanks! Going next week and I've been trying to find out if those waterproof lanyard cases were allowed. Thanks for mentioning it. :)

I’m so excited as we are flying to Florida later this year and I’m really looking forward to going to Discovery Cove, as I’m disabled but being there will be great for me as I can pretty much travel around the park through most of the water park and I won’t have to worry about getting on to my wheelchair 👨🏻‍🦽✈️🇺🇸

Funny thing is I never heard of it 24 hours ago, but I did a search on parrots in Orlando (a must-see in Florida), and learned of Discovery Cove. Unbelievably amazingly up my alley!! I'm sure I'll want to do the lazy River 5 times too!! Lol!! Thank you!! 😎🥰

You kind of surprised me when you mentioned Geauga Lake. That was my home park. My dad's company picnic was there every year, as was my best friend's dad's company picnic, so we took each other and got two visits every summer ❤

What a great review! So informative! Thanks 🙏 Were you comfortable in bare feet most of the day? Would you recommend water shoes? Flip flops for cafeteria and bathrooms? Did you bring cash to tip bartenders? And on that note do you know if you can purchase mixed drinks al a cart or do you only get them if you pay for a drink package? Thanks again!

@coastercouple1211 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you!! Personally I was comfortable bare foot because it is SO CLEAN there and they are cleaning all day in any common areas. The floors barely even get wet because they clean them so often. We go to water parks all the time this wasn’t on the level of a water park more like a high end resort feel. No we didn’t bring any cash so we had to use the ATM :( lol I would highly suggest bringing cash so you don’t have to pay the fees. Yes all the drinks you can purchase I think most everything (even beer) is around $10/$12 a drink.

Trying to figure out if you can purchase ONE dolphin pic, or do you need the whole package? It's over $200 on the website when you purchase ahead of time, so pretty pricey. Just wanting to see if we can pick one of our favs.

I may be remembering this wrong, I picked the package of five, but there was a smaller package of three. I do not remember there being one solo picture. The three pictures were less, somewhere around the $50 range.

@DannieRaye1386 Жыл бұрын

my husband said that you can't take your own cameras into the dolphin tank? I haven't seen footage on anyone's videos of the dolphin swims... so this must be true? I did read about no jewelry in the tank with them which makes sense... So just to be 100% can you please verify for me? Thank you in advance... and thank you for sharing this experience so ppl like me know what to expect! God bless you always!

@coastercouple1211 Жыл бұрын

He is correct- you cannot take your own camera/ pictures in the dolphin swim. You will have to purchase the professional photographs if you want any pictures of this experience, which are AMAZING, but they are VERY pricey just a warning. Everywhere else you CAN take your own photos and videos, even when we did the “Animal Trek” experience last time we went! It is ONLY the dolphin one. Also correct- no jewelry is allowed in dolphin swim except a wedding BAND. They are extremely strict and will make no exceptions. Both times we have went, people have argued about this, and they will not budge on it. You are so welcome! I hope you have a great time. It is my absolute favorite place.

@coastercouple1211 2 жыл бұрын

It depends- where the dolphins are, you can stand up in the water it’s not deep. Same with the area where the otters and monkeys are! The pool that you go snorkeling in goes pretty deep like 10+ feet I think, the lazy river also gets pretty deep at some points probably like 6 feet if I remember.

In the dolphin swim it’s not deep in the area they have you in. Like 3-4 feet. In the lazy river and the snorkeling it goes very deep I would guess at least 10-15 ft in some areas.
