Swim with the Dolphins at Ocean World question

Have you considered asking OW? They might have some accurate info on this if you're lucky.

you can just show up at ocean world. I don,t remember the exact prices but its about 100us to get in and then there are different levels of swimming with dolphins. if you want the full ride figure about 250$. also check with some of the tour guide operators they may have some discounts and more info.

It is not necessary to buy tickets in advance. Each of the attractions (sea lions, dolphin show, sharks, etc) are on a set schedule and performed several times a day. Best to arrive early to mid-morning to see all of the attractions without being pressured by time. You will be given a specific time when you arrive for any extras like a swim with the Dolphins. The others you see at your convenience.

When I went a couple of months ago there was a 2 for 1 deal on some of the encounters. You may get lucky on that, too.

i've been there twice, each time sort of gratis. a visiting friend wanted to do few things and the offers and discounts combined came to the cost of my ticket. each time we went early in the day, about 9-10 am, no need for early booking. OW often has offers and discounts so check their website. any activities with animals have restrictions such as no jewelry. they provide safe and secure lockers but you may save yourself trouble by leaving some of that stuff at home. buffet food is pretty basic but passable.
