The ultimate Florida experience of swimming with dolphins can be had at Discovery Cove. This tropical paradise resulted from parent park SeaWorld’s 35 years of experience with marine animals. After witnessing the growing love affair between SeaWorld guests and dolphins, Discovery Cove was created to provide a whole new generation of guests the opportunity to interact more closely with these beloved marine mammals.

Swimming and connecting with friendly, fun-loving bottlenose dolphins is only part of a day spent at Discovery Cove. You can also interact with five different species of rays, snorkel amid thousands of fish and explore the splendor of coral reefs and grottos. Throughout a series of free-flight aviaries, you can touch, hand-feed and interact with more than 250 exotic birds. And it’s all experienced in the midst of lush greenery and pristine beaches.

Discovery Cove is committed to protecting and preserving wildlife and the environment the world over. In addition to dolphins, rays, fish and birds, a variety of sharks live in the Shark Habitat. A sister park to SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove contributes to the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund, helping to support wildlife conservation, research and education efforts. Conservation Cabana provides guests with an on-site, hands-on educational experience, while Outreach programs spread the message of conservation and preservation throughout communities.

To top everything off, the cost of your admission also includes your meals, beverages, gear, parking — and a 7-day pass to either SeaWorld Orlando or Busch Gardens Africa at Tampa Bay. Keep in mind that attendance to Discovery Cove is limited to 1,000 people a day. Make Discovery Cove part of your Orlando vacation for a day of discovery that you’ll remember forever.
