Discovery Cove

 

Discovery Cove is ranked #3 in the United State’s top attractions, according to tripadvisor.com. And no wonder– it gives you the chance to swim with dolphins, glide with sting rays, and view tropical birds, among many other unique attractions. The prices can seem a bit steep, but they include a full day at the park, all you can eat or drink– including alcoholic beverages– use of a mask and vest or wetsuit, and a snorkel to keep. Discovery Cove requires a reservation, and only 1,000 guests are allowed in the park at any given time. If the price still seems a bit high, reservations without the dolphin pool have a lower rate.Check out our various deals and packages to make the most out of your Orlando vacation without being heavy on the budget.
