About Discovery Cove

Swimming with dolphins & snorkeling spot. All-inclusive park with dolphin encounters, snorkeling with rays, bird feeding & a lazy river.

💬 What Parents Say

• 💡The Grand Reef snorkeling area is the standout attraction - reviewers consistently praise it as the best activity. Arrive early or mid-day to enjoy it with smaller crowds, as it's a pool-based experience rather than a ride with capacity limits.
• 💡All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and non-alcoholic beverages are included in admission. However, breakfast features powdered eggs which some find underwhelming - lunch offers better options. Budget an additional $50 per person if you want premium cocktails beyond the included beer and wine.
• 💡Discovery Cove is family-friendly for all ages including toddlers. The Grand Reef gradually deepens, allowing young children (age 2+) to safely enjoy the snorkeling experience and touch stingrays from shallower areas near the shore.
• 💡Free amenities are scattered throughout the park - SPF 30 sunscreen, fresh towels, shower facilities with full toiletries, and complimentary snacks are available. The chocolate cookie snack is located near the freshwater area, so plan accordingly.
• 💡Consider renting a private cabana and booking add-on experiences like the photographer, stingray feeding, and dolphin interaction for small group sizes. The flexible 48-hour booking policy allows you to adjust reservations close to your visit date.
