Discovery Cove

Discovery Cove in Orlando, Florida  

Once you arrive you feel like you have been transported to a tropical island.  You get to enjoy one-of-a-kind opportunities like swimming with dolphins, snorkeling with tropical fish and rays, hand-feed hundreds of exotic birds, taking pictures alongside flamingos, unlimited food and drink, and more.

Discovery Cove® is an all-inclusive day resort.

We love that it is all-inclusive. The adults and kids love the buffet.  In addition to breakfast and lunch, they also had unlimited snacks and drinks (beer and wine for people 21 years and older.)  You can upgrade to the mixed drink package and have resort-style drinks that add to the fun of the day.

What to wear

-Bathing Suit: since you will spend most of the day in the sun, consider taking along a swim shirt for for everyone. Wetsuits are provided so you don’t have to bring one.  You can also choose to wear the vest instead of the wetsuit.  The kids can wear wetsuits so they look like dolphin trainers in training.

-Cover-up: You will want to have a cover-up for getting breakfast and lunch.

What to bring

-Photo ID: Bring one for everyone who is over 18 years old.

-Cash or Credit Card: Discovery Cove is all-inclusive so you don’t need any money for your food or drinks, but they do have great souvenir shops if you want to take home a reminder of your trip.

-Swim Diapers: if needed for little ones

-Change of Clothes and Toiletries: They have showers where you can clean off at the end of the day.  They have soap, shampoo, and conditioner.  But, remember a hairbrush and deodorant.

-Water Shoes: The sand can get really hot so these are very helpful.

-Makeup Brush: This sounds sort of funny, but Discovery Cove provides Reef-friendly sunscreen and it is easier to apply it with a makeup brush.

-Completed Waivers: Waivers are needed for everyone under 18 years of age.
