If you are thinking of visiting Florida in the United States of America in the near future, you should certainly consider taking time out for a look at the Discovery Cove theme park located close to Orlando in central Florida. The prime attraction of Discovery Cove, and the main reason for most people visiting, is the dolphin pool, where you can participate in a swim with the bottlenose dolphins in an a life changing thirty minute session. The Discovery Cove theme park has many other fabulous attractions that will also contribute to making your day memorable, such as the free flight aviary with a wide variety of tropical birds, the beautiful coral reef, where you can snorkel with the inmates (even barracuda and sharks) the Wind Away River, where you can ride the currents of a tropical river, passing through an underground cave, amidst a tropical rain forest and pass beneath tumbling waterfalls, or relax on the fabulous Serenity Bay, swim in the clear waters or enjoy the beach. To take part in a swim with the dolphins though, is the main attraction in Discovery Cove and the park is open from 9 in the morning to 5.30 in the evening. Packages including the swim with the dolphins start at $289, not cheap to many people but certainly worth the money for a once in a lifetime experience. The theme park is open for visitors all through the year and with Orlando and Discovery Cove weather being a warm and humid, subtropical climate, any time is a good time to visit the wonderful Discovery Cove.
