Where to Stay When Visiting Discovery Cove Orlando I am here to give you everything that you need to know for your first time when Visiting Discovery Cove Orlando with Kids.
If you have never been, you are certainly missing out on one of the most magical adventures that Orlando has to offer. The best thing about Discovery Cove is that it runs by reservation only and allow about 1,300 guests at a time, so it feels very exclusive.
The park expanded in 2011 and added The Grand Reef, which is now one of my absolute favorite areas of any park in Orlando. I can remember visiting when I was younger and being so enamored by the beauty of the park and forever changed by the magical encounters with the dolphins. Discovery Cove Orlando has been open since the summer of 2000, but still remains sort of a hidden gem, especially if you have never experienced its wonder.
