We had a great time, got there at about 7:30 which was good for us, we had a large group, I took our four children(15,10,7,6) and we got the 9:25 swim but we could have had 8:20 which would have been a little better because when we went to feed the birds they didn't want to eat but they were still beautiful. Lunch was great and breakfast was good, someone told me the beer was cold. The coral reef was incredible and we got to feed the stingrays in the afternoon which if you can do this it was really neat! I purchased the pictures and dvd for $201 and it was definitely worth it, I watched the dvd and it was incredible. I will definitely be back, and it really is a good price you get sea world and busch gardens for $30 more..........

if youve never been to orlando before , it is amazing. the whole place is arguably one of the best vacation places in the world.
discovery cove ,however, puts the rest of orlando and all its amazing theme parks in the shade!!!
its no surprise that this place has been voted one of the best experiences in the whole USA.
i first visited discovery cove in 2005 and was blown away then. when i booked to go in 2007, i noticed they had gone " all inclusive " and hiked the price up a fair bit. i like many other was cautious of a theme park rip off but booked anyway. how wrong to doubt them i was.
the service is like a top hotel, you are really made to feel like you are very special and this is a day they dont want you to forget for the rest of your life. your breakfast is included, lunch is included, all beers drinks and snacks are included, they even give you sunscreen!!!
the lay out and surroundinds are beautifull. its like being on your own luxury island.
i swam to the aviary and when i entered almost immediately had 2 small red parrot type birds land on my shoulders, drinking the water droplets off me. youre not lucky if they come to you, they just do.
to top this off you get an amazing 30 minute dolphin swim, which is a lifetime memory. but believe me the dolphin swim is only a part of the great day we had.
i understand that there are only 2 of us, and a family of 4 would put a big dent in anyones holiday funds. but if you can afford it, dont consider it. book it now!!!

This is a must-see if you are in Orlando although it is not cheap I think it was worth the money (especially with the favourable exchange rate).
The dolphin swim was an amazing experience and I absolutely loved every minute of it. It is easy to see that all the animals are very well cared for.
The place itself is beautiful and spotless. A maximum amount of people are allowed in each day so you never feel like you are in a busy place which is a fantastic contrast to the other themeparks.
Stingray lagoon and the pool with the tropical fish for snorkelling were incredible.
Food and drinks are included in your entry price and you can have as much as you want during the day.

My husband and I went to Discovery Cove in March of 2008. It is a day I will remember for a long time! When they say that you don't need to bring anything other than your bathing suit and a change of clothes, they mean it!
Before we went, I had a concern about my size, whether they would have a life jacket to accomidate me...turns out, I worried for no reason. I am a size 26/28 and the jacket fit perfect.
The only down fall to the day was the very long shower line at the end of the day. I would recommend heading to the showers a little early. After standing in line for 35 minutes, I chose to shower back at my hotel.
The dolphin swim was a great expierence. We floated down the VERY warm lazy river at least 3 times and spent about 2 hours in the bird aviery! Great food, good snorkling, and an all around perfect expierence!
We are returning in 2 weeks and taking our kids with us this time. I can not wait to share this expierence with them!
