Discovery Cove is essentially a theme park where guests can interact with a variety of marine animals. The star attraction for this park is the fact that you can swim with bottlenose dolphins. The park is located in Orlando Florida and is opposite its sister park seaworld. In addition to marine animals there is also a variety of Birds and other exotic animals around the park to interact with. Discovery Cove is very expensive, but it is a unique experience that you will never forget! I think it is about $290 a person for a Dolphin Swim package and $190 for a non dolphin swim package.

Who would have thought that in land-locked full of thrills Orlando, there could be an oasis of calm and a chance to unwind and interact with some amazing animals? Discovery Cove is owned by SeaWorld and has been up and running for a few years now. In my opinion, this place is an absolute must if you're holidaying in Florida but if you don't like beaches or water parks or animals you'll be stuck as there's nothing else to do. It's not a theme park in that sense at all. Discovery Cove is an all day, all inclusive attraction and you must book in advance as there are no 'at the door' tickets whatsoever. Visitors are limited to around 1,000 per day so ...  Read the complete review
