Discovery Cove® is a one-of-a-kind, all-inclusive day resort where you can unwind in a lush tropical setting while enjoying unforgettable animal experiences. From snorkeling with vibrant fish to relaxing on white-sand beaches, this peaceful retreat feels like a private island escape. With no crowds or lines, your day is all about soaking up the serenity, creating lasting memories, and connecting with the wonders of the natural world.
At Discovery Cove®, every moment brings you closer to nature. Swim side-by-side with a playful dolphin, float over tropical fish and rays in The Grand Reef, or wade into the gentle waters of Freshwater Oasis where you can spot curious otters and marmosets. Hand-feed exotic birds in the Explorer’s Aviary and let the beauty of nature surround you. These experiences are designed to be personal, awe-inspiring, and completely unforgettable.
One of the highlights of Discovery Cove® is the all-inclusive dining experience. Start your day with a hearty breakfast and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at Laguna Grill, featuring a variety of options from grilled seafood to vegetarian dishes. Unlimited snacks and beverages are available all day, including frozen treats, tropical drinks, and premium selections for guests 21 and older. It’s gourmet-style dining all day long.
Discovery Cove® is a gentle and relaxing experience for families with younger children. Kids can safely play in shallow lagoons, float down a lazy river, or explore the Freshwater Oasis. The Explorer’s Aviary offers up-close moments with colorful birds, while stingrays glide just below the surface in the snorkeling areas. The atmosphere is calm, the staff is incredibly helpful, and everything is designed to help little ones feel safe and engaged.
