\"Family<\/div>\n

Swim with the Dolphins!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fact: kids love animal interactions.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for parents, visiting zoos, aquariums, and theme parks that offer animal interactions can sometimes lead to an exhausted, frustrated, and tourist-mobbed day.<\/p>\n

Discovery Cove in Orlando, Florida offers visiting families the chance to explore marine animals in an atmosphere that boasts luxury, exclusivity, and tranquility.\u00a0 Step out of the theme park lines and spend your time doing what your family craves to do: getting up close with the animals!<\/p>\n

Discovery Cove is all inclusive and gives guests the chance to swim with dolphins, rays, and tropical fish, or feed exotic birds.\u00a0 The property boasts a 30-acre tropical oasis full of lagoons, lazy rivers, pools, waterfalls, and even white sandy beaches (sand toys included!).\u00a0 Relax in a hammock or choose to snorkel in the nature-inspired reefs full of 10,000 tropical fish.\u00a0 After taking a ride on the river, duck underneath the waterfall to enter the Explorer\u2019s Aviary, a free-flight aviary home to more than 250 exotic birds.\u00a0 SeaVenture allows guests to tour lionfish and sharks in a unique underwater walking tour that ends with a one-on-one visit and touch opportunity with fish and various rays.<\/p>\n

In Dolphin Lagoon you and 6-8 guests can take a swim with a bottlenose dolphin!\u00a0 You\u2019ll start your experience in shallow water as you get to know your dolphin, and then you will transition to deeper water to get towed back to the shore by these amazing marine mammals!\u00a0 (Kids must be at least six-years old to swim with the dolphins.)<\/p>\n

Because the park is all-inclusive, you are pampered with complimentary beverages and food.\u00a0 Breakfast is offered in the mornings until 10:30 a.m., and lunch is served from 11a.m.-3 p.m.\u00a0 Numerous food options are available including fresh seafood, salads, and kid-friendly options.\u00a0 Snack bars (also included in admission price) offer complimentary snacks like pretzels, smoothies, and yogurt, while unlimited beverages, including beer and wine, are served at all restaurants and snack bars throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t pack the right gear?? No worries.\u00a0 Your all-inclusive pass includes a personal wetsuit, towel, snorkel gear, and sunscreen!<\/p>\n

For an additional cost, visitors can be \u201ctrainer for the day\u201d to receive a behind the scenes look at the life of a SeaWorld trainer.\u00a0 Private stocked cabanas are also available to rent.<\/p>\n
