Bring or wear your bathing suit and you are ready to go. Discovery Cove is truly an all-inclusive adventure. The park provides towels, snorkeling equipment, sun-block, shampoo & conditioner and even a bag to carry home your wet bathing suit. It is required that you wear either a short wet suit or insulated vests at all times when in the water. You will be fitted for either the wet suit or vest but can change back and forth throughout the day. Throughout the park you can also find life jackets. Clothes and personal items can be kept in a locker which is provided for you.

Things to Know Before You Go:

  • When checking in, be sure to pick up a small laminated map key to hook onto your lanyard.
  • Different admission packages are available that can include limited or unlimited admission to SeaWorld and Busch Gardens.
  • To create a natural setting, rocky areas line the bottoms of most swimming areas. If you are not used to this type of terrain, bring water shoes or water-proof sandals.
  • Special beach wheelchairs and strollers are available.
  • You will need to bring your identification. When you enter the park you are given a photo ID card to keep with you. If you plan on drinking any of the wonderful Anheuser-Busch products, you will need proof that you are over 21.
  • Bring a waterproof camera if you want to take pictures in the snorkeling area.
