This Father’s Day, Trade Ties for Tides at Discovery Cove

June 4, 2025

Serenity Bay

Let’s be honest – Dad doesn’t need another tie, grill gadget, or “World’s Best” coffee mug. What he really wants? A break. Some sunshine. A cold drink in his hand. And maybe a dolphin or two.


This Father’s Day, treat Dad to something unforgettable – an all-inclusive day of adventure, connection, and relaxation at Discovery Cove® in Orlando. It’s the kind of gift that won’t get tucked away in a drawer; it’ll live on in stories, smiles, and photos you’ll all cherish for years to come.


Swap Dad Duties for Dolphin Days

If Dad’s been juggling work, errands, and everything in between, it’s time to flip the script. Discovery Cove is a tropical escape that puts the play back in Father’s Day.
 
Where else can he:

• Swim with a bottlenose dolphin

• Snorkel through a one-million-gallon reef with thousands of tropical fish and rays

• Drift down Wind-Away River, voted America’s #1 Lazy River by USA Today 10Best


Let Dad channel his inner explorer as he glides past Pacific Blacktip, Nurse, Zebra, Whitetip Reef and Bonnethead sharks (don’t worry, he’s just a spectator). If he’s up for the extra challenge, give him the Shark Interaction package where he participates in an exclusive shark feeding and training session, in addition to the snorkeling.

A VIP Day for Your MVP

Discovery Cove is completely all-inclusive, so Dad can kick back and enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. We’re talking:

• Freshly prepared breakfast and lunch

• Unlimited snacks, beer, wine, and soft drinks

• Eco-friendly sunscreen, wetsuits, towels, snorkel gear—and yes, even lockers and parking—are all included.

Want to really roll out the red carpet? Upgrade to a private cabana, complete with plush lounge chairs and dedicated concierge service. It’s the ultimate reward for the guy who always puts everyone else first.

The Gift of Time Well Spent

Named one of Newsweek’s “America’s Best Animal Encounters” for 2025, Discovery Cove is more than just a beautiful place – it’s a meaningful one. Every experience is designed to spark awe, inspire connection, and help families make the most of their time together.
No lines. No crowds. No pressure. Just a day that’s all about being present, having fun, and showing Dad how much he means to you.

Not sure what day works best for Dad? A Discovery Cove gift card or e-gift card lets him choose the perfect time for his tropical escape. It’s flexible, thoughtful, and just as unforgettable.

Make This Father’s Day One to Remember


Whether it’s dolphin swims, tropical toasts, or a lazy float under the palms, Discovery Cove delivers a Father’s Day unlike any other. The only thing you’ll wish for is more hours in the day.

Pro Tip: Spots fill up fast, and reservations are required, so book early to make sure Dad gets the relaxing escape he deserves.

This Father’s Day, forget the gift wrap. Give Dad a day in paradise – and a memory that will outlast any pair of socks.
