Among the many highlights at Discovery Cove is the exhilaration of swimming and playing with bottle-nosed dolphins in their delightfully serene tropical lagoon away from the crowds and queues.  Witness the power and grace of these special animals and learn about their behaviors on an hour long interactive session.

In the Grand Reef families can play hide-and-seek along the water’s edge with thousands of colourful fish, from small wrasses to large spotted eagle rays. Or cross a bridge to see sharks swimming below your feet. Further out in the reef, stunning habitats create the feeling of swimming right alongside venomous lionfish and sharp-toothed reef sharks, each safely behind glass. Guests can take paths and bridges to the reef’s islands and hidden grottos as they delve into the reef from above, around and below.

For a more relaxing experience, head to the tranquil Ray Lagoon where you snorkel, wade and play with hundreds of wonderfully gentle southern and cownose rays or explore the tropical river as it winds lazily past sandy beaches, rocky lagoons through a tropical rainforest and an underwater cave. Your Discovery Cove ticket also includes entrance to a towering free flight aviary where you can touch and feed a multitude of brilliant exotic birds, plus you will receive breakfast and lunch, snacks and drinks throughout the day.  

New for 2012 at Discovery Cove is Freshwater Oasis featuring all-new swimming and wading adventures and face-to-face encounters with playful otters and curious marmosets. Designed with a rainforest canopy above and sparkling-clear springs below, Freshwater Oasis is a natural fit with Discovery Cove’s tropical vibe. Freshwater Oasis opens at Discovery Cove in Spring 2012. 

 

There is the choice of two tickets - those wishing to swim with Dolphins must purchase the Dolphin Swim Ticket. If you just want to accompany friends and family who are swimming with dolphins, purchase the Non-Dolphin Swim Ticket. Both tickets give you a one day experience at Discovery Cove, plus 14 days unlimited admission to SeaWorld®Orlando, Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay and Aquatica™, the brand new waterpark, justacross the road from SeaWorld.
