Discovery Cove By Indygirl on Sep 26, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

What can I say about Discovery Cove except that it's a perfect day?

Located just across the street from Sea World, this exclusive tropical paradise feels miles away from civilization. Limited to just 1,000 people a day, Discovery Cove was created to treat its visitors to an intimate interactions with one of nature's most enchanting creatures: The dolphin.

At Discovery Cove, you can experience swimming with these powerful creatures, but that's just part of your day. You will also experience white sandy beaches, snorkeling in a man-made reef full of exotic fish (don't worry, the barracudas are behind glass!) and a warm and wonderful lazy river. There's also an aviary full of exotic and friendly birds.

Not only will you enjoy all these wonderful sights, but the day is all inclusive. Discovery Cove provides everything from dolphin safe sunscreen to all the food you can eat-- and of course, since this is an Anheuser Busch experience, all the alcohol you can drink.

Don't get sticker shock. This place is worth every penny.
