About Discovery Cove

Discovery Cove is a reservation-only day resort and a sister park to SeaWorld Orlando. Admission covers breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks, plus parking, wetsuits, snorkel gear, lockers and towels. You can snorkel The Grand Reef, float the Wind-Away River, hand-feed birds in the Explorer's Aviary, and book a package that adds a swim with bottlenose dolphins. No more than about 1,600 guests are in the park at one time, so beaches stay uncrowded.
