Discovery Cove

Anyone out there love it?

I went 4 years ago for my high school graduation present from my parents and had a blast! My best friend's parents also sent her so we did went together and we felt like celebrities there because for some reason everyone who worked there knew us as "the graduates". lol...We kept on saying, "How do they know who we are???" It was cool though...I've always wanted to swim with dolphins and we ended up getting to be in the water with them for almost an hour, even though it was only supposed to be 30 minutes.

I want to try and go back maybe next year some time...but I'm wondering what's changed since I was last there...

We went in 2003 and loved the place - so relaxing, and the dolphin swim was an experience not to be missed. The lunch was great. We're going back this year so I'll make a note to report on any changes.

Incidentally, The Discovery Cove website now says that they serve a breakfast (incuded in the price) how long has this been going on ?? Is it any good ??

My son and I went last summer and I just booked again for May. The experience was great. Not too many people, food was good and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I'm definitely looking forward to my return trip!

Breakfast, as well as lunch? Or just breakfast?

Is it worst the cost to see the dolphins?

NO ITS NOT.

Its worth the cost to have virtual one-to-one interaction and to swim with the dolphins, Its worth the cost to have breakfast and lunch AND seven consecutive days admission to SeaWorld included. Oh and limited numbers within DC so that it doesn't feel crowded.
Now thats worth it

Yeah, what he said.

Joking aside, he couldn't be more right. It was supremely relaxing and entertaining. I knew on my last visit that I'd do it again. It's first on the list for our May visit.

Truly amazing experience. The Lunch was the nicest all trip and was free! They had a live band at lunch time who were great, all the staff were SO nice and helpful (my girlfriend is a vetinarian so had loads of unusually asked questions and some staff members didn't know the answer so looked it up, made some calls WROTE the question on the STAFF NOTICE BOARD until someone got the answer and then randomly a few hours later one of the staff came running up the beach to tell us the answer!!!! Now that's looking after guests).

The stingray lagoon and marine fish were all awesome. They have loads of birds and other animals like Sloaths etc there too.

We got free underwater cameras and a free picture when we were there, they even provide the sunscreen!

We've just booked to go in Sept and we are definitely going back.
