For the experience of a life time then Discovery Cove is the place for you.

 

Have you every wanted to swim with a dolphin, feed a dolphin or just touch a dolphin then this is the place for you. Discovery cove permits only a 1000 visitors each day (book early to avoid disappointment) so the park is never too busy and you are given an allotted time for your swim with the dolphins. The feeling of swimming with the Dolphins is one never to be repeated and one not to missed.
