Swim with dolphins & stingrays, snorkelling, coral
reefs and get to know exotic tropical birds
Google's Interactive Map of Orlando, FL USA. Icon symbolizes the location of Discovery Cove.
This little gem is often overlooked by
visitors, mainly because the place is over shadowed by
his big brother SeaWorld Orlando located just nearby.
Unlike SeaWorld where you have little interaction with
the animals there, Discovery Cove offers you the
opposite. Yes! You can actually interact whichever you
like with the animals here. They have Bottlenose
dolphins, exotic tropical birds, tropical fishes,
stingrays and many others.
This is an exclusive theme park whereby
only 1,000 guests or visitors are only allowed in the
park in any day. Since it is exclusive, admission are
strictly on reservations only. So, it is best to reserve
your admission here in advance if you have plans to
visit this park one day. The admission fee is pretty
hefty but it will include everything from whatever you
can eat and drink, entries into every attractions and
right to the provisions of equipments that you might
need such as wetsuits, snorkels and masks. They have six
featured attractions here and every one of them worth
every dollar you paid to gain entry.
Spending somewhere between US$150 to well over US$250
dollars for a trip to a theme park may sounds ridiculous
to some but where else in the world today that would
allow you to actually interact with animals especially
those cute dolphins? The experience provided by
Discovery Cove is priceless. Snorkelling enthusiast
would definitely find Discovery Cove a good place to
have fun. A great place for families and kids too!
