Discovery Cove Orlando
Those who have a soft spot for dolphins will want to be sure to visit Discovery Cove, located adjacent to Seaworld. This is a beautiful park, where visitors check in for an entire day of fun with Florida's marine life. This park can run a little steep, but the service and attractions here are exceptional and worth every penny.

The main reason for visiting the park is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim with dolphins. These gentle animals are curious and friendly, and visitors will love being able to touch and swim with these amazing animals.

During the rest of the day, visitors have endless choices of how to spend their time. The park boasts a huge tropical reef, which includes shipwrecks and underwater grottos, and is teeming with exotic fish and marine life, including stingrays. These animals don't actually sting, and are surprisingly gentle. Also located here are sharks and barracuda, which you can safely swim within inches of. The Topical River is a nice, lazy swim, with its warm waterfalls and beautiful fresh-water lagoon. More than 200 different species of tropical birds are located in the free-flight aviary, which visitors are free to play with.

Most day packages to Discovery Cove include a meal in its restaurant facility. Be sure also to bring your cameras and video cameras: this is an experience that you will want to remember forever!
