Discovery Cove located not far from SeaWorld in Florida is a secluded tropical get away where dolphins and birds welcome you to their home. It is the home of more than 30 species of exotic birds and you can touch, talk, feed and mingle with these birds. It is also the home of bottlenose dolphins where you have the opportunity to swim with them and become acquainted with these incredible creatures through hugs, kisses and rubdowns. You will experience an unforgettable personal connection with these amazing animals of the sea.

The choice is yours at Discovery Cove. You can choose to spend time swimming with the dolphins and playing with the birds or you can spend a relaxing day at one of the pristine beaches. You can snorkel in a coral reef with crystal waters full of rays and exotic fish of all kinds in park-provided snorkeling equipment. And while there, be sure to find an underwater tank with sharks and barracudas behind protective glass. Or, you can just float through beautiful landscapes into a peaceful tropical hideaway where the stresses of the day fade away.

Discovery Cove is a place where the fresh water pool is maintained at 80 degrees temperature year round and is complete with waterfalls. It is a tropical sanctuary, a paradise of rocky lagoons surrounded by lush landscaping, underwater ruins, unique coral reefs and heated tropical rivers. It is a place with sandy beaches and lots of Florida sunshine. And, if you are staying at Disney or SeaWorld, complimentary transportation will be provided to Discovery Cove.
