The all-inclusive theme park every Orlando itinerary needs

Orlando may be synonymous with thrills but Discovery Cove, part of United Parks & Resorts, invites guests to slow down. With daily attendance limited to ensure every guest enjoys a personalised experience, clients will feel like they’ve got ample room to explore the park’s white-sand beaches, lush rainforest landscapes and winding waterways. It probably won’t feel like a theme park at all, so it’s no wonder it’s been voted number one best theme park in Orlando by USA Today.

Discovery Cove delivers both adventure and relaxation in abundance. Snorkel among thousands of tropical fish in The Grand Reef or marvel from the bridges connecting the reef’s islands – daredevils among the group might want to don a dive helmet and wetsuit, climb down the ladder and complete an underwater walking tour. In the Explorer’s Aviary, guests listen to melodies of colourful birds, while clients who want to soak up the sunshine can retreat to Serenity Bay, a freshwater beach surrounded by swaying palms. Drift through caves, waterfalls and tropical scenery on the Wind-Away River, named the best lazy river this year in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Soothing currents will take you past sandy beaches, the rain forest and the Explorer’s Aviary – listen out for the macaws and parrots!
