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.
For the safety of the animals, and the protection of your valuables, leave your jewelry behind.
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.
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.
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.
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.
With so many incredible experiences to choose from, the only hard part is deciding where to start at SeaWorld® Orlando.

Breakfast, lunch, snacks and beverages (including select beer and wines for guests over 21 years of age) are included in admission. You are also provided with all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay, such as snorkeling gear, fresh towels and more.
These and other unforgettable experiences unfold at a relaxed pace, no matter if you are exploring, enjoying nature or connecting with wondrous marine animals. And it is all exclusive to Orlando.
Gear up to swim with thousands of tropical fish at The Grand Reef, have face-to-face encounters with playful otters and marmosets at Freshwater Oasis, and meet some new feathered friends at Explorer’s Aviary. Or, just find inner peace at Serenity Bay and Wind-Away River.

You can even Swim With Sharks — if you dare. And for an exotic experience on land, Flamingo Mingle invites you to feed and learn about flamingos in an outdoor setting.
