1. Plan Ahead & Arrive Early
Spring Break is one of the busiest times of the year at Discovery World, so arriving early gives you a head start on all the action! Doors open at 9 AM, so if you want first dibs on exhibits like Virtual Explorer or the Flight Simulator, it’s best to be one of the first through the doors.

Save on the price of admission when you purchase your tickets online ahead of time. Plus, members get in free, so if you plan on visiting often, consider signing up!

3. Know Where to Park
Discovery World has an on-site parking in an underground garage, but it can fill up quickly during peak times.  

4. Plan for Snacks & Breaks
Exploring all day can work up an appetite. Food and drinks are available for purchase in the cafe and gift shop. Plus, you are welcome to bring your own food and enjoy it in designated eating areas.
