For safety reasons, children under six are not allowed to participate in the dolphin swim and children must be at least 13 years of age to participate in the Trainer for a Day program without the supervision of an adult.

Guests should bring swimsuits, and depending on preference, bring rubber pool shoes, water socks, sunglasses, hats, and cover up clothes. Discovery Cove provides masks, snorkels, towels, beach chairs, special sunscreen, and meals, snacks, and drinks for the day.
