If you're considering getting a photo package of your time at discovery cove, know before you go. Always lookout for photographers & get as many pics as possible to make your purchase worthwhile. $150

Ryan Polselli

Get there really early and you will be given an early time with the dolphins . Check in starts at 7:15 and there will be a line already formed. They will serve you complimentary breakfast .

Erica Jarrells

The whole experience here was amazing! If you love animals this is the place to go! I would go here over any other theme park in Orlando !

Patti Champion

This place is awesome! This was my second visit to Discovery Cove. I signed up for the dolphin encounter both times. The Great Reef is fantastic.It is like swimming in a giant aquarium .

Casey Robinson

Excellent resort . Make sure if a photographer takes your picture that they take a picture of your Discovery Cove ID! Good food. Great service. Awesome lazy river . Love the dolphin encounter.

Jia Rong Li

Swimming with dolphin is awesome! Snorkeling with tropical fishes and rays is amazing! It's so relaxing when floating along the river and lying on the beach chair! What a wonderful day!!!

Mike Littler

Second time here and still a fantastic experience. This time it was noticeable that the restaurant staff were not friendly or happy. Life guards nice still. Food wasn't brilliant. Scuba was great.

Marco Silva

All inclusive including breakfast , lunch and snacks all day long including alcoolholic beverage is the deal. A bit expensive if you include swim with a dolfin. It's a premium park and you pay for that

Jan Hein

The best park in Orlando . Expensive? Yes. But all day free of food and drinks. Bird feed by yourself is cool. Swimming with the dolphins great.......

Abigail Lynn

Love this place. So much to do. Defiantly an upscale park . All inclusive once your in the park . Free breakfast , lunch ,&snacks&beer all day long!

Ken Gross

This was by far the best park that I've experienced. Treated as valued, staff all over were pleasant and helpful. They clearly understand and practice customer focus.

Greg Hesp

Make sure you get the photographers to take pictures of you, they don't ask you as don't want to interrupt. If you get the dolphin photo CD then all photos taken throughout the day are included.

Hannah Coleman

Staff are very friendly , the place is always being cleaned , and the meals are great! A wide variety of food for everyone in the family.

Alvaro Torres

Great place to swim with the Dolphins . I had the ultimate engagement at this location. I think my fiancée said I do the Dolphins . A wonderful place for friend and family

Kurt

When you're with à group and are Taking The 'swim ' with The Dolphins . Split up so somebody can take pics, film it while your in the water. The pics and film made by Discovery Cove are way to expensive

HISTORY

Discovery Cove offers the opportunity to “talk, touch, play and swim ” with bottlenose dolphins . The free-flight aviary contains over 250 tropical birds to interact with and feed.

Melissa Nj

Water cameras aren't allowed during the dolphin swim . Schedule 2 sets of swims at different times so that someone can trade off in taking pics & save you approx. $150 on the low end for a cd of pics.

Melissa Nj

SeaVenture is a great way to test the waters before scuba diving . It's a unique experience that must not be missed!

Ashley Schneeberger

THE BEST PLACE TO GO IN ORLANDO FLORIDA. Had the best experiences here all within one day. Kind of pricey but extremely worth every penny!

Greg Hesp

Don't forget to check the animal care tent schedule at the start of the day. They might have a sloth, or monkeys with them you can see.

Courtney T.

I recommend it! You get your moneys worth! Quieter and less people than any other park too! You can surely relax! There are always people around to help too!

Larissa Harris

Greatest deal in Orlando! This all-inclusive theme park only allows a certain number of people in each day. All meals, drinks (including beer ) are included all day! The dolphin experience is unforgett

Jan Hein

..... But also all the swimming there is awesome. So when you are in Orlando you must visit this park

Mark Walpole

Much more to do than swimming with the dolphins . Be sure to do seaventures which is an underwater walk.

Aileen

Such a great place and the otters are so cute !! If your scared of fish beware but it's truly a paradise w/ free beer ! From 11-5.30pm

Ary Bernardes

Day Resort and Dolphin Swim $320.00 + $80 - Experience a private tour to meet some of our small mammals. + $219.00 - photo album

Peter Charles

This is the absolute best place to go in Florida. It was the most amazing experience I have ever had.

Natalie Mclean-law

Get their early for breakfast ! Great day out.. One of our party collapsed and the medical staff were fabulous!!

Discovery Cove

Swim with dolphins , snorkel with fish and rays , hand-feed exotic birds and relax on pristine beaches . All meals, drinks and gear are included.

Ciro Ota

This place must be on your trip when you come here! Incredible and unforgettable!

Chris

Hands down, the best place for an engagement! (Just be careful, she might think the dolphin is proposing to her at first!)

Kurt

But everything else is absolute arranged faboulas !!! Good food, snacks , drinks. Nice people to help and serve !!!

Julieann Jefford

For a more secluded experience book a cabana. Cabanas can be booked on the day or 6 weeks before. They do sell out quick.

Heather Webber

Make sure you look for the photographers around the park . It helps to have more photos when you order the cd after your swim !

Andrew H

Those who have glasses! At guest services they offer prescription goggles! It made the enjoyment of my day go way up!

Jennifer Ferguson

Everything here is top notch! I can't wait to go back!

Christina George

So much fun. Well worth the money. Go to the aviary first thing so the birds are hungry.

Lee Gunter

Less than 2000 people. Use the chairs by the Aviary as that's a quiet section.

Sophie

Swimming with dolphins and sting rays is amazing, the food is decent too!

Behind The Thrills

Feed the birds before you do anything else. They are ready to eat first thing in the morning, but couldn't care for food later in the afternoon.

Patrick Verda

Best value in Orlando. Ask for a cabana! Buy the photos, too.

Brannon Hall

This place is amazing! It's worth the money even without the dolphin swim . Add that, and it's an experience to remember.

Mary

Get a wetsuit for the kids if you think they'll enjoy the snorkeling . The water is freezing and the park provides them.

Andrej Timkovic

Excelent trip. Recommend to everyone.

Steve Izzo

Everyone had a blast but they don't let you take your own pictures with the dolphin and they hammer you to purchase theirs at the end.

Johnny W

Nice and relaxing booze was free what more can you ask for lol

Lisa W.

Do Not wait until the end of the day to pick up your pictures or hit the showers ! The lines are huge at 5:30!

Kathy Figeroa

Awesome place. Would so go again
