Discovery Cove is fantastic. It was a great day which my daughter and I enjoyed together and will remember forever. It was the best thing we did in Orlando and I highly recommend it. What a special place! Discovery Cove is amazingly well organized and clean. It has so many wonderful things to do and is so lovely. The food... more

We just visited Discovery Cove on June 23, 2009. Before we went, I visited this web site to read the reviews. After reading about the $200 photo package, I was determined NOT to buy them. I wanted to let others know that there are cheaper packages available. We purchased the $59 package which included three 5"x7" photos in a folder,... more

I have visited Discovery Cove twice now and both times have swam with the dolphins. My first visit in 2007 I was assigned to swim with Jenny and met Yoko which was fantastic but on my second visit (2008) I requested a swim with Capricorn "The movie star" I had read so much about and watched many times in Jaws... more

Once you get over the sticker shock (the price for this all-inclusive attraction is steep, no doubt) get ready to experience a GREAT day! We arrived very early (before 8:00 am) and were checked in immediately and given an early time for our dolphin experience. We enjoyed our dolphin interaction very much (it was a bit different from the one... more

My family of 5, girls 10 and twins 7, spent the entire day at Discovery Cove. It was with out a doubt the best money we spent in Florida and worth every penny! Although up front it appears to be a pricey day, when you take into consideration all you can eat and drink all day, passes to Sea World... more

This is a gorgeous place and worthy of repeat visits if you are fortunate enough to do so. We went here during a trip to Disney World with kids of various ages. What a great experience! Unlike anything we've ever done before! The price is somewhat expensive but very much worth every penny of it. The opportunity to swim up... more

This was the best part of my Orlando vacation...and of course, it was the one thing I was looking forward to the most. We were the first people to arrive at the park. We got there at 7 and check in was at 7:30. We checked in and were then greeted by a photographer who took a picture of my... more

I'm very happy with my visit to Discover Cove. The Park is beautiful and magical and we had a wonderful time. Everything exceeded my expectations except the dolphin encounter which was subpar but the other amenities make the park worth the price. The best thing about the park is that it's not crowded. We went memorial day weekend when SeaWorld... more
