    You may well have to take it in turns, friends went with same situation, said it was fantastic, and do have a good amount of time with the dolphins.
    Enjoy !!

    We went there the year it opened. Absolutely fantastic. You will enjoy it. I think we spent some 30mins in the water with the dolphins, that was with them showing you what they could do, but a little disappointedly we only had 1 swim actually holding on to it's fin for about 10 metres and that was it. But will never forget it. They are so gentle, we could not get over how careful they are when turning around close to you, they do it slowly making sure their tail does not hit you. Of course things may have changed since and you may get longer.

    Don't forget to go and swim with the stingrays and the fish. The meal you get included was good too.

    Can highly recommend a visit, am very jeallous!!!

    Enjoy, and tell us how you got on when you get back.

    Great day, we did it last year icon10.gif

    Yes, you'll need to different time slots for your swim but what they will do is allow you to bring the wee one into the water with both of you for a photo or two. Of course they sell you the photo afterwards so its worth it to them but I thought it was nice that they brought in non-swimming family members for the photos.

    Because we were in Florida in July I guess one of the best things about Discovery Cove is it was so much quieter as the numbers are restricted and it made for a very laid back day. We loved the lazy river and spent most of the afternoon just floating round that which was practically empty compared to other water parks.
