On our first day, we got to go to Discovery Cove. There’s so much great stuff to do there! Snorkel next to sharks (don’t worry there’s glass between you), float down a beautiful river, feed tropical birds, and of course, swim with dolphins.
The only down side to Discovery Cove is that it’s not cheap. BUT the admission includes EVERYTHING for the day. All you can eat food and drinks, lockers, wet suits… PLUS they only let in 1,000 people a day so it feels more like a resort than an amusement park. I’m a cheap Dutchman, but when I was there I kept thinking “man, in 5 years you wouldn’t really miss the money you spent but you would remember the experience forever”. To me, that makes it worth every penny.

My daughter & I spent a totally awesome day at Discovery Cove. It was the best place we have ever been. Not a day goes by that we do not wish we could go back!
Remember that admission to DC includes a 14 day pass to SeaWold, Busch Gardens, or Aquatica. I went for the first time in June with my six year old and it was worth every penny. We didn’t bring a towel or even sunscreen – they really do provide everything you need for the day.
Glad you started your journey with Discovery Cove. It’s this Missouri family’s new vacation spot!
Discovery Cove has always been on my list to do – especially the trainer for a day!
We will get there!
