The night begins with a welcome cocktail — or mocktail — during a beachside reception at Serenity Bay, where animal ambassadors from the park also make special appearances. Guests then move to Laguna Grill for an all-you-care-to-eat Caribbean-inspired buffet paired with a live performance featuring four acts inspired by Earth, Air, Water, and Fire — including aerialists and a dramatic fire knife finale, according to a news release.

“Paradise Nights adds a new dimension to Discovery Cove,” said Brad Gilmour, park president of Discovery Cove. “Guests spending the day with us can extend their visit into the evening with a memorable dinner and live entertainment experience, while those looking for a unique night out in Orlando can join us exclusively for Paradise Nights, no daytime admission required.”

Pre-sale tickets start at $117 for adults and $53 for children ages 3–9, with gratuity included. Children under 3 are free but require a reservation. An optional sloth encounter — limited to 10 guests per night — is available for $59 per person.
