Ooh lala! The season of love is here, and if you’re feeling the pull to whisk your significant other away on a dreamy adventure, Discovery Cove in Orlando has your name written all over it. Rated the #1 Most Romantic Thing To Do In Orlando by USA Today, this lush, all-inclusive paradise is where romance meets relaxation, offering you a chance to ditch the daily grind and focus on what really matters—each other.

Ready to turn up the charm? Let’s explore why Discovery Cove is the ultimate destination for couples who want to make their love story unforgettable.

 

Your Private Slice of Paradise

Crowds? Not today, Cupid. At Discovery Cove, intimacy is the name of the game. With limited daily guests, you and your sweetheart will feel like VIPs in your own tropical haven. Every admission includes memorable animal encounters – from snorkeling with vibrant fish and wading with silky rays, to feeding exotic birds and furry facetime with monkeys, otters and more – along with endless gourmet bites and beverages (yes, beer and wine included!) and many other thoughtful amenities. As you soak up the sun on warm, white sand beaches, the only thing you’ll have to worry about is how to top this next year. Good luck with that.

    Wildly Romantic Adventures

    Nothing says “romantic escape” like exploring nature’s wonders together. Discovery Cove is a treasure trove of animal encounters and serene escapes, tailor-made for couples looking to connect – with each other and the world around them.
  • The Grand Reef®: Snorkel hand-in-hand through a dazzling underwater world of colorful fish and rays. Curious about what you’re seeing? The park’s animal experts are on hand with fascinating facts and inspiring stories.
  • Freshwater Oasis®: Chill out beneath the rainforest canopy and meet adorable otters and cheeky marmosets. This peaceful sanctuary is all about soaking in the moment – together.
  • Explorer’s Aviary: Stroll through a lush aviary filled with over 250 exotic birds, some standing as tall as four feet! Hand-feed feathered friends or drift into the aviary via the Wind-Away River. Either way, it’s pure magic.
  • Flamingo Point: Get up close and personal with Discovery Cove’s resident pink royalty. For an extra special treat, opt for the Flamingo Mingle – a meet-and-greet experience that’s as memorable as it is adorable.
  • Wind-Away River: Float, swim, or drift your way through sandy beaches, lush forests, and even an underwater cave. Pro tip: Don’t miss the refreshing waterfall that leads into the aviary – it’s a romantic photo op waiting to happen.
  • Serenity Bay: Lounge on sugar-white sands, sway under palm trees, and soak up the tranquil vibes. Whether you’re sunbathing or stealing a quiet moment under a thatched umbrella, this is paradise, pure and simple.
