My perfect bucket list vacation would be Discovery Cove with a cabana and a massage, staying at the Waldorf Astoria, having Afternoon Tea and Dinner at Bull and Bear Then a Vip tour at Disney ……sigh Thanks so much for letting me live vicariously through you ❤️
I went to discovery cove like 17 years ago, and Capricorn was the Dolphin I swam with and got pictures and a kiss from. It's so cool hearing that hes still there now!
I went on a 10 day trip to Orlando with a disability charity when I was younger and swam with a dolphin at discovery cove. Still the best thing I’ve done 💓 So if you want to do something like that but worried about mobility issues, you should be okay!
Been there once in 2007 as a kid , one time in 2014 as a teenager and now hope to visit it one more time as an adult. It is one, if not the best, experiences of my life. Swimming with these stingrays in a safe way, seeing so many beautiful things underwater, it's amazing for someone who hasn't been diving. One of the best things about Discovery Cove is they only let so many people inside during the day so the water never feels crowded and sometimes you feel like you're only in there alone. You can sometime see a leg or two but that's basically it. The stingrays are so kind and sometimes you see people swimming away from the big ones, but they are so gentle and they actually like to be pet from my experience. Some stingrays come to you and even nibble at your feet, it was really sweet.
I’m so glad you all enjoyed your day! Yoko and Gertie are two animals I am so honored to work with. I’m also happy that Jackson wasn’t afraid of the animals, because neither was I at his age and it feels alien when I meet people afraid of them 😆
I'm so grateful that you mentioned the accessibility aspect. Interacting with a dolphin is a dream of mine. The only time I went to Discovery Cove, I could barely reach the dolphin over the wall and juuuuuust barely touched it with my fingertips. That's all I could do. Also, me too on the marine bio. I just had to change my major, though. I can't math well AT ALL.
I wanted to be a marine biologist throughout high school too! But I decided to become a small animal veterinarian instead. Still scratched that itch of working with animals, but very different animals 🐶🐈
Discovery Cove is such a great place for you guys to have locally. It’s the perfect spot for family memories and animal appreciation/education. Watching Tim with the birds instantly made my day all the better.
Love to see how brave Jackson is with these adventures! In St. Thomas on vacation one year my sister and I fed the birds and I had one that got angry because it couldn't get the scrunchie out of my hair. My sister finally got it off my head only for it to come back and try again. I just couldn't help but laugh at the poor frustrated thing.
Just added Seaventure to my bucket list! I've always loved the idea of walking under the water with fish swimming all around--and now I know how, and where, that dream can come true!
Amazing place and definitely worth mentioning that those who need glasses can ask for prescription mask to use in the reef .......a really amazing touch that made all the difference for me .
Glad you got to swim with the Stingrays. They're such amazing creatures. and people freak out about them unnnessary. . do you know they live in groups of bonded families and are exceptional good parents. So funny seeing the zebra shark and the nurse sharks just chilling out watching you. proof that not all sharks are like the great whites like that in JAWS. I'm so glad to hear Capricorn is still around. at 50 that's a amazing age for a dolphin. Thanks for another great video.
Wow what an exciting day discovery cove looks amazing, and watching Jackson explore is wonderful, and having great parents to encourage him you both are wonderful xx
I went there in fourth grade. The dolphin I swam with, was Natalie. Capricorn was her dad. I remember seeing him. I loved it there. This is such a great vlog.
My family went to discovery cove on my golden birthday when I was 13 and I still say it was one of the best days of my life! So glad you all had the best time!
We had this cabana on our last trip definitely best one we have had by far! Such a fantastic spot. Roll on October when we can finally come back to our favorite place 🌴🌴 great video guys!
I have always wanted to do Discovery Cove, especially the dolphins - would HAVE to do that too - maybe someday! Don't think I could afford all that, AND a cabana, but so nice yours is right next to the dolphin area - that's DEFINITELY the area I'd like to be in, if I could!! Thank you for mentioning the dolphin encounter is accessibility-friendly. As someone with mobility issues, that's VERY good to hear, and not mentioned a lot of times. Good tip about the sunscreen being thick/needing to be reapplied often. Churrasco steak - OK - now you've made my VERY hungry, and drooly! LOL I remember your SeaVEnture vlog from years ago - loved it then, loved it now - so cool-looking! :) Always love to see how much of a water baby Jackson is, and how happy and natural he is. Wow - how interesting those were Etch-a-Sketches, didn't know they'd work underwater either - man - I used to LOVE mine when I was little, but I'm sure they're WAY different, and WAY improved i nth last 50+ years since then, I'm old! LOL. Those rays are SO graceful in the water!! OMG - you're right, Tim - that bird SO looked like a dinosaur! Socially distanced hugs to the 3 of you from New Jersey. Stay strong, stay positive, stay healthy!
Tim Jenn and Jackson Tracker Adventures... always fun and exciting ..and I've really enjoyed watching Jackson grow since a baby.. he's so adorable..God Bless ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve always wondered if, when you do the Seaventure experience, you ever get a sense of panic from being weighed down by the helmet. If anyone who has done the experience in the past can tell us if they ever had a problem with this could you let us know?
I did it in 2018 and I have also experienced regular scuba 🤿 diving . Anyhow to answer your question the helmet was very lightweight when in the water . The only thing I felt was that the helmet screen shield sort of distorts your peripheral vision. Last summer I did the shark swim ! Now that was really something!
I was totally scared of the helmet for the sea venture but k tried to remain calm and follow the instthey tell you and everything was ok. They have multiple divers with your group in case you give the hand signal something is wrong. Totally safe!
Discovery Cove is the best value in Orlando by far. I went in early May and paid $149 on black Friday and that included 14 days at Busch gardens, Aquatica and Seaworld with free parking. All I did was floated in the river and loved my day. It was my 4th time so I knew what I was missing with the rest of the park which is great. So many people miss this experience.
Jen and Tim I absolute love your videos! They have helped me get through some of the toughest days. I am so happy to see your family doing so well. Thank you for bringing such joy to so many. I can't wait to be able to return to Florida to visit all these amazing places. Jackson is the cutest!
i went there back in 08 and i actually swam with capricorn and i have a picture with him when i was like 8 or 9 years old! it was an incredible experience i miss that vacation and those times dearly
How have I never heard of this place! My cousins and I were planning a Disney world trip for 2024ish because I have to finish teachers college, but I am totally adding this place to the plans! This place looks fantastic I am hooked on going here now!
Jackson is a natural in the water and is a natural with animals as well! He's so relaxed in nature. What an amazing place. Definitely want to go here one day. I'm worried I might get a little claustrophobic with that helmet on, so I'll have to see about going actually under the water, but the other parts look great. I just need to learn how to swim. The animals were amazing. Thank you for sharing so we could get an up-close look. That black and kind of polka dot ray was very stylish in design.
Hi Tim and Jenn! My parents took me to Seaworld a lot as a kid and was fortunate to also do their summer camps. Those visits instilled a love of marine life just like it did for you. I’m now working my dream job as an aquarium biologist in Sarasota! Keep doing what you’re doing with Jackson and introducing him to the natural world around him, it’s awesome to see!
I just got home from Orlando a few days ago. I really wanted to go to discovery cove. I did not go though. I spent 4 days at Disney world and three at Universal. Had a great time. As usual I did not see Tim and Jen. I did see Mollie one day. Made my day! I'm from Arizona. So it is a long way to Florida, but I'm sure I will make the trip again. Enjoy watching your vlogs. Thank you so much. My family spent Christmas at Fort Wilderness in a 38' RV. We had a nice vacation. It was on my Bucket list.
Pretty amazing that you can get that all included. If I was a swimmer I'd love to go there! Since I'm not, I'll enjoy your adventures! I'm impressed how well Jackson did too at this.
I went swimming on Sunday and it was 74. I didn't think it would feel that cold. It was freezing!! My little Jaxon never got acclimated to the cold. His teeth were chattering. Good times lol.
As an Australian those stingray scared me after one killed Steve Irwin. I don't think I could get in that water. Also did the underwater submarine scooter in hawaii, Tim and Jenn if you go back you should definitely do it! So fun!
We were lucky enough to go to Discovery Cove four years ago and can't wait to go back! After watching your video I think we definitely want to try the Seaventure next time.
A chocolate chip sea star, wow I never knew they existed!! Looks like such an amazing day I would love to do that, love how brave Jackson is, he's just loving life so lovely to see 😍😍😍
I swam with Astra and Neo many years ago, the sunscreen provided was dolphin and reef friendly! The aviary was a highlight for me too and the amount of fish in lagoon just amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Fun memories!! I have watched your channel for a number of years, found you via Adam the Woo!! Jackson is a great addition!! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures, whether they be out and about or when you are home!! Also enjoy seeing your meals!!
So great to see you guys at Discovery Cove again! I would definitely agree with the part of Discovery Cove inspiring the next marine biologists. I swam with dolphins here at the age of 7 in 2010 and since then, especially meeting great team members in DC allowing me to feed giant rays and holding other animals it inspired me to do it for a career. Anyways…I’m in my second year of a Marine Biology degree in North Wales
oh my gosh, we swam with yoko when we went to discovery cove over 10 years ago! Hearing that she’s doing well made my heart happy:)
@@jennb3112 LMAO NIT YOKO ONO
Haha just went today yoko was the one by us we had a different dolphin it was awesome it was Latoya
My perfect bucket list vacation would be Discovery Cove with a cabana and a massage, staying at the Waldorf Astoria, having Afternoon Tea and Dinner at Bull and Bear
Then a Vip tour at Disney ……sigh
Thanks so much for letting me live vicariously through you ❤️
I went to discovery cove like 17 years ago, and Capricorn was the Dolphin I swam with and got pictures and a kiss from. It's so cool hearing that hes still there now!
Jackson is growing up with parents who teach him about animals & he isn’t afraid! I love watching him explore
I went on a 10 day trip to Orlando with a disability charity when I was younger and swam with a dolphin at discovery cove. Still the best thing I’ve done 💓

My cat loves this! 😆 all the animals were very entertaining for her 🐱.
My cat was watching the birds LOL
My cat was sleeping 😴
Mine was watching too 😂
Oh my goodness! The little bird on your shoulder was precious!!
Thanks for doing something other than Disney.
Amazing place and definitely worth mentioning that those who need glasses can ask for prescription mask to use in the reef .......a really amazing touch that made all the difference for me .
Jackson is so big! He is so brave too! He loves the water as much as you all do!

Omg that was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! Sea venture Such pretty wildlife in the water, what a neat experience thanks for showing us

IT'S A SEAVENTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jenn Love the glasses and hat combo . They go well together and with your hair 0:19 . Lots of Love Tim, Jenn, & Jackson ❤❤❤
They should really teach sign language in school. Imagine how much easier they could have communicated underwater!
Your videos make my day. I use them when I need a pick me up or when I’m doing work I really don’t want to be. Thank you!
When I went to Discovery Cove we swam with Capricorn, he is lovely 🥰🐬
We had this cabana on our last trip definitely best one we have had by far! Such a fantastic spot. Roll on October when we can finally come back to our favorite place 🌴🌴 great video guys!

Did it feel claustrophobic? I think I would have a panic attack with that on under the water.

My favorite childhood memory was going to discovery cove 🥺💕
Discovery Cove is where I took my water rescue class when I worked across the street. I love it there, it's such a beautiful park.
Love the footage! Wanted to show my step-son what Discovery Cove was all about and thanks to this he’s excited to go
We LOVE DISCOVERY COVE! Been several times and luckily we got to swim with Capricorn! Best experience ever!
Jen and Tim I absolute love your videos! They have helped me get through some of the toughest days. I am so happy to see your family doing so well. Thank you for bringing such joy to so many. I can't wait to be able to return to Florida to visit all these amazing places. Jackson is the cutest!
The underwater activities were awesome! Gotta do it myself, one day :)
Tim: it’s a little less water fally over here
Tim 3 seconds later almost drowning 😂
Very informative! Thank you for sharing
i went there back in 08 and i actually swam with capricorn and i have a picture with him when i was like 8 or 9 years old! it was an incredible experience i miss that vacation and those times dearly
Love the underwater flash cards! Such a great idea!
I am so glad that you loved the dolphin swim . I did that swim about 15 years ago and our dolphin that we interacted with was Capricorn . 🤗😎x
Thx for your very thorough review. I look forward to my upcoming trip!

Watching your videos for 8 months now from Ottawa 🇨🇦 😆
Did seaventure a couple a week ago, best experience of our vacation.
Definitely doing again
Thank you for asking and mentioning accessibility
We swam with Capricorn 4 years ago. So glad to hear he is still doing well.

this is insane - I was just rewatching your videos from discovery cove YESTERDAY!!!😱 it’s seriously the best place in Orlando
AMAZING!!! Excellent job at filming and editing too.
Okay, this has been added to my list of To-Dos next time I'm around! You guys make it look so fun!
I went to Discovery Cove last year and had a wonderful time with my daughter. I would highly recommend it. I would love to go back oneday.
Pretty amazing that you can get that all included. If I was a swimmer I'd love to go there! Since I'm not, I'll enjoy your adventures! I'm impressed how well Jackson did too at this.
They have life vests, I'm not a strong swimmer but I'm definitely going.
@@carlagat1075 I’m a strong drowner! 😄
@@tomklock568 🤣 Ahh....
It looks fantastic, I will definitely visit there when I go to Florida next year
The picture of you and Tim looking at each other Love it!!!
14:18 fish is like "sup, don't mind me coming through."
I went there last month. It’s my favorite place in Orlando. That I’ve visited out of all the other parks.
I’m not a great swimmer but Discovery Cove looks lovely. It looks so chilled and pretty.
What a beautiful boy your son is with a sweet soul.
I went swimming on Sunday and it was 74. I didn't think it would feel that cold. It was freezing!! My little Jaxon never got acclimated to the cold. His teeth were chattering. Good times lol.

Also did the underwater submarine scooter in hawaii, Tim and Jenn if you go back you should definitely do it! So fun!
They look like southern stingrays, their tail tips aren't stiff.
I would love to the dolphin swim! Love how they keep the crowd to a minimum and that helps with folks that are overwhelmed with people around!
Did the SeaVenture when I went last year. Best experience I've had. Also did SeaWorld, and the Beluga and Rescue tours there.
6:28 that’s cool that the oldest dolphin 🐬 was in the jaws movie wow 😯
I can’t wait to experience this. I’m actually taking my son this weekend
Zinc oxide is the best for your skin and heath! Just be sure to use cleanser after your day in the sun because it clogs pores!
I appreciate you guys mentioning that this place is certified as an autism space. My son is autistic and is obsessed with water and sea animals.
We swam with Capricorn when we went in 2006!
Absolutely buzzing to go here this summer, been almost 3 years since I’ve been to Orlando becuase of covid
We were lucky enough to go to Discovery Cove four years ago and can't wait to go back! After watching your video I think we definitely want to try the Seaventure next time.
The French toast sticks be looking like quandel dingles grandma
Diego is such a cute Cockatiel! I have a cockatiel of my own, so does my boyfriend! they have so many birdies in that Aviary!
I know this is a theme park channel, but Tim’s diving montages are my favorite thing to watch!
My husband and I swam with Capricorn in February! It was a very chilly day, but we had an amazing time.
No way I could that with helmet I’d go into total panic. Lol
No way! I’m also super interested in marine bio and I’m taking a marine bio class this year! Super excited!
My wife and I loved watching, the swimming with sharks and the dolphin swim look like fun
We have had Capricorn 2 times and I just love him!!!! He never fails to surprise us LOLOLOLOLOL
Oh my goodness! We must of just missed you! We were there on Sunday! We love DC!
A chocolate chip sea star, wow I never knew they existed!! Looks like such an amazing day I would love to do that, love how brave Jackson is, he's just loving life so lovely to see 😍😍😍
For my birthday, I went to discovery cove and I got to swim with Yoko as well! Discovery Cove is truly an awesome place. :)
IT is so relaxing and clean ,such a beautiful place
I swam with Astra and Neo many years ago, the sunscreen provided was dolphin and reef friendly! The aviary was a highlight for me too and the amount of fish in lagoon just amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I’m going next week and I’m so excited!
That is totally awesome. You guys Rock!

I heard Blizzard beach is getting a new attraction soon!
Oooh do you know what it is?
We did the in the Bahamas before they had that type of helmet. Now it's all over the Caribbean. So much fun.
