The Discovery Cove premium water park limits attendance to around 1,000 guests per day, and aims to offer more intimate experiences than neighboring SeaWorld Orlando. The park's signature offering is the Dolphin Swim Experience, which sees small groups of guests interacting with bottlenose dolphins for around 30 minutes. Tickets for the park are significantly more expensive than those for other Orlando theme parks, but include 14 days admission to SeaWorld Orlando and the Aquatica water park.
