Discovery Cove, Marine life theme park in Orlando, United States
Discovery Cove combines coral reefs, tropical beaches, and aquatic environments where visitors interact with dolphins, rays, and thousands of fish species in controlled settings.
SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment established Discovery Cove in 2000, introducing a novel concept of limited daily attendance for personalized marine life interactions in Orlando.
The park educates visitors about marine ecosystems through direct experiences with aquatic species, promoting environmental awareness and wildlife conservation principles.
The all-inclusive admission includes meals, snacks, drinks, swimming gear, towels, and animal encounters, with advance reservations required due to daily capacity limits.
Visitors can participate in underwater walking tours wearing specialized helmets that enable breathing and clear vision while surrounded by tropical fish.
