Discovery Cove

Vacationers looking to balance out each day of the retreat with fun and relaxation should spend a day at Discovery Cove. This park helps achieve such a balance with tropical resort water experiences such as Serenity Bay and Wind-Away River. You can watch flamingos walk by as you take a dip in a tropical-inspired pool or a lazy river that takes you through a dense rainforest and underwater cave.

Discovery Cove also treats fans of marine life with opportunities for close encounters. You can feed different species of rays or learn about dolphins with the park’s animal care specialists. Tours are available for armadillos, anteaters, kinkajou, sloths, and a variety of birds, and you can enjoy training sessions with reef, zebra, blacktip, nurse, and bonnethead sharks.

Discovery Cove is just a 20-minute drive from Margaritaville Cottages Orlando.
