Discovery Cove was perfect for my wife's birthday.

Spent longer at the reef than anywhere else. The children kept spotting something new and asking for one more go, so by the time we'd reached lunch, everyone was starving. It was one of the most relaxed days of our trip.

Your tickets are digital. They are emailed to you and saved in your Theme Park Direct account, and there is nothing to collect and no voucher to exchange before you travel. The reference on your ticket is what gets you in, so you can go straight to the park gates with it on your phone. If you would rather not use your phone at the gate, you have two options: load the reference into the park operator's own app from 30 days before your start date, or swap it for hard copy passes at a ticket window when you arrive. Both are optional and neither is needed to get in.
Our team issues your tickets after payment and uploads them to your account, and we email you when they are ready. Tickets are issued by hand and take up to 48 business hours. If you pay by standard bank transfer, we start once the funds arrive.
These tickets are non-refundable once booked. If your plans change, contact our support team before your visit and we will tell you what your ticket allows.
It depends on the ticket. Contact our support team before your visit with your order number and the new date, and we will tell you whether the park and supplier allow it. Please do not assume a change is possible before we confirm it.
