🐠 Day Resort & Animal Experience📍 Orlando

Welcome to Discovery Cove

Discovery Cove is a limited-capacity, reservation-only day resort centred on lagoons, beaches, snorkelling and optional animal experiences. Many practical inclusions—such as food, towels, lockers, suitable equipment and animal-safe sunscreen—are part of the standard day.

Why Visit?

The controlled capacity and included amenities create a calmer pace than a major theme park. Arrival time matters, especially when guests have booked additional experiences that must be scheduled during check-in.

Main Highlights

  • The Grand Reef snorkelling lagoon
  • Wind-Away River and Serenity Bay
  • Explorer’s Aviary and Freshwater Oasis
  • Included food, towels, lockers and equipment
  • Optional dolphin and premium experiences

Pamela & George’s Tip

Our suggestion: Arrive early enough to check in without rushing, particularly when you have add-on experiences. Wear simple swimwear and let the included equipment keep the day light and easy.
