Discovering Discovery Cove



We've been vacationing in Orlando and Central Florida for eight years--but we just made our first visit to Discovery Cove. In case you aren't familiar with Discovery Cove, it's part of the Sea World (Anheuser-Busch) family of parks. But it's hardly a "typical" amusement park.

Discovery Cove offers the tropical atmosphere of a Caribbean beach plus the convenience of an all-inclusive resort (parking, food and drinks, towels, locker, and snorkel gear are all covered in the price of admission). While the price is inclusive, the atmosphere is quite exclusive: Discovery Cove is available by reservation only, and the park limits the number of guests who can visit on any given day.


The result: a tranquil, relaxing, and unforgettable day. And that's even before your dolphin encounter!

Indeed, Discovery Cove is perhaps best known for giving guests a chance to pet, kiss, and swim with one of the park's adorable and friendly dolphins. Our family got to interact with LaToya--and we all loved every minute of it.

If you're looking for a truly memorable day--and you're willing to splurge a bit--visit the Discovery Cove website and start planning your visit. You won't regret it!

Coming to the Orlando area?
Consider staying in our four-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse at Regal Palms Resort. A quick ride down I-4 gets you from Regal Palms to Discovery Cove.
