Discovery Cove Tickets: Which to Choose?
It is important to buy Discovery Cove tickets as far in advance as possible. As the park limits entry to 1,000 people per day, it’s essential to make reservations before you leave. Discovery Cove Florida operates quite differently to all the other theme parks in Orlando. To ensure a relaxing and pleasurable experience for all, attendance is limited and therefore there are no long lines and crowded areas making it difficult relax and enjoy the wildlife.
If you know you want to visit during the summer months (June, July, August) or on a major holiday, you should try to book at least two months in advance.
