Independent guide and review of Florida as a holiday destination

Buying Twilight Discovery Tickets

In addition to the normal daytime All-inclusive Admission or Non-dolphin packages, you can also buy a Twilight Discovery ticket.

The Twilight Discovery package is an exclusive evening package at Discovery Cove for 150 guests between the hours of 3 pm and 9 pm on Tuesdays to Fridays during summer months.

Whereas the normal All-Inclusive Admission package includes a dolphin swim experience, the Twilight Discovery includes a shallow-water dolphin interaction (wade).

The price includes a gourmet dinner and dancing at the Laguna Grill; menu includes blackened sea scallops, flame-grilled sirloin steak, grilled jumbo shrimp and create-your-own pasta dishes, fountains of chocolate fondue, flaming bananas Foster and a variety of cakes and petit fours.

Included in the normal Discovery Cove ticket prices is a 7 consecutive day complimentary pass to either SeaWorld, Aquatica or Busch Gardens that can be used either before or after the visit to Discovery Cove. For an additional $30 charge, this can be increased to two park admissions or for an additional $50 to all three theme parks for 14 consecutive days.
