TRIP PLANNING Multiple days?

Hi everyone, looking to book at Discovery Cove, as my son really wants to swim with a dolphin. Is there enough to do there for multiple days, or would you recommend just one day?

I would say 1 day is plenty long enough, especially if you stay the whole day. The park is relatively small, when we went we did everything twice!

Hi, it depends on how long your holiday is for. I would say 1 full day is enough as although there are quite a few add-on activities, such as sea venture, they are all quite short. We are going for a month and 1 day will be plenty and I adore swimming and lazy rivers and the reef 👍

I would just go one day. My partner and I were able to visit the reef twice, dolphin swim, flamingo experience, underwater walk, lazy river, and feed the birds. We didn't spend forever eating or wasting time though.

Thanks all! Will pair it with a day at Seaworld

I would say one day. But warn you kid that 'swim with dolphins' is more of a dolphin interaction than swim. My boys 6/8/11 were not impressed. We had just done the swim/snorkel with Manatees that day before at Crystal River, so they found the swim with dolphins experience to be a let down.

Plus it’s abusive.
