Now, to be fair I haven't priced Discovery Cove in awhile, but I was shocked at the prices! $310 for a single day at DC with dolphin swim?! When did prices go up so high?
price varies by day ... a quick look for this month sees per person with dolphin swim from $199 to $340

And doesn't that include admission to Sea World and Aquatica, also? At least it did with what we bought - if you take advantage of that it actually isn't so bad (relatively speaking).
my price INCLUDED 7 day of SW and AQ ....... and if you have the time this is a GREAT deal. If you use HALF the SW/AQ days you are getting DC for free!
Wow...would love to go but that is just too much for our fam
If you take advantage of the Sea World, Aquatica, and possibly Busch Gardens tickets for even a few days, it is definitely cheaper than Disney by quite a lot.
There's a sale right now for Black Friday. Recheck the prices for your dates.![]()
I just checked for next year and saw $20 in nonsense fees - a "resort fee" and "service charge" - $10 each! For WHAT? Is this something new? Does it get you anything? When I last booked a couple years back, that wasn't there. I also remember you had to pay each day for parking at SW, unless you got the entire pass with BG added in and then parking was complimentary everywhere. Is that still the case?
EDIT: just saw below in their FAQs - so they're basically charging for something they have always included for free before - there's nothing added here. And the "service fee" - I'm booking myself online - what service? A bit disappointed to see this - SW was never a company that nickeled and dimed like this before.
What does my resort fee cover?
Discovery Cove's resort fee covers ongoing enhancements to exceed our guests' expectations. This fee covers amenities such as, Wi-Fi throughout the property, complimentary family lockers, concierge services, shuttle service between SeaWorld and Aquatica, fresh towel service throughout the day, and on-site parking.
