I am a local, and work in a corporate office about 1/4 mile from the entrance of Discovery Cove. I had been there once before about 8 years ago with my Mom and my Aunt and it was pretty good. They have made changes to the layout and all inclusive offerings and now it is FANTASTIC! I still can't believe... More

My severely disabled 8 year old daughter had a make-a-wish trip which included a swim with dolphins here in April. This place is where many many poorly or disabled children come for a dolphin experience and we felt a little let down. Don't get me wrong, the place is beautiful, warm lagoons, a lazy river, a stunning aviary, seawater reef... More

Discovery Cove is one of my all time favorite places to visit in Florida! Beaches are relaxing and, of course, you get to swim with the dolphins. I'll definitely be back!

We loved the experience. Not sure whether I'd do it again but this is purely due to cost. It was an unbelievable experience that I'll never forget.

Has anyone purchased the elite package? Cabana, photo, DVD etc etc? Just wondering if its worth the $359 price tag? Many thanks in advance x

We have just returned from a 2 week trip to Orlando, and this was one of our absolute favourite days we experienced whilst there. My husband is really not a fan of swimming and was probably not looking forward to this day as much as our other theme park days, but he loved everything about Discovery Cove - swimming with... More

This was the highlight of our holiday. It's not cheap but it does include 14 days entry to Sea-world. Breakfast and lunch are included and have a good selection. All drinks including alcohol are included. Snacks are also available all day.

My 12 year old daughter and I had an amazing time. It was beautiful, every stream, every plant ,flower and the landscaping was so well thought out. We were treated like they were awaiting our arrival.Swimming with the dolphins was magical. We had 2 dolphins to play with. We feed them, saw tricks, directed them , rode them hugged and... More
