Creator's Key Takeaways

I went into this day with almost no expectations and instead I left thinking this may be the best beach day I have ever had in my life.

I actually caught our tickets on a Black Friday sale and I know that I paid maybe around a hundred bucks a person plus our added drink packages. And that was an incredible deal for everything there was to do.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a cabana for shade, especially during summer in Orlando.
Make sure kids are good swimmers and comfortable around animals for the dolphin experience.
Consider Discovery Cove as a rest day in an Orlando Disney or Universal vacation.
Use the included lockers, towels, wetsuits, and snorkeling gear; you don't need to bring anything except ID.
