Discovery Cove was created to look like an island in the Caribbean. Attendance is limited to 1,000 people a day so making reservations beforehand is a must. The all-inclusive admission includes all diving and snorkeling equipment, towels, lockers, life vests, and meals.  For most people, the biggest attraction here is swimming with the dolphins.

This park has a quiet atmosphere and is devoted entirely to the discovery and enjoyment of nature with its own beaches that allow for snorkeling and underwater exploration. The Dolphin Swim gives guests the opportunity to play and communicate with the dolphins for about 30 minutes. Other attractions include the Coral Reef, where guests can snorkel among tropical fish and colorful coral; Tropical River, where swimmers drift along a river and are able to stop throughout to go exploring; Ray Lagoon, where visitors can swim and play with rays; the Aviary, where guests can see over 250 rare and tropical birds up close in a free flight setting; and the Resort Pool, which is kept at a comfortable temperature throughout the year and features waterfalls.

Other more exclusive offers are the Trainer for A Day Package and the Dolphin Lovers Sleepover. The Trainer for A Day Package was designed especially for nature aficionados and includes extra time with the dolphins, as well as the experience of feeding, and caring for the animals in the park. The Dolphin Lovers Sleepover allows families to spend the night camping by the water and then wake up to a day at the park.
