Discovery Cove Opening Grand Reef for June 2011
Oct 13, 2010
Discovery Cove, the all-inclusive boutique park across the street from SeaWorld Orlando, celebrated its 10th Anniversary this year. On Wednesday, October 13th, the park announced the building of a new area behind the Dolphin Encounter called the Grand Reef. This new area will supplement the popular tropical reef where guests can snorkel with over 10,000 tropical fish, rays, sharks, and barracuda.
Stewart Clark, vice president in charge of Discovery Cove, describes the Grand Reef as having new animals, encounters and adventures - suitable for all ages and abilities. There will also be a "signature experience" called SeaVenture where guests don diving helmets to take an underwater hike through the reef. The SeaVenture excursion will be an add on feature not included in regular park admission. The cost will be $59/participant for an hour long experience with up to 6 people total.

Admission prices for Discovery Cove through the remainder of 2010:
Seasonal rates for Discovery Cove experience with dolphin interaction start at $199 (rates for those who prefer to not to swim with a dolphin and guests age 3-6 start at $99), and experience with dolphin interaction starting at $279. Discovery Cove is open from 9:00 am-5:30 pm, and admission price includes parking, continental breakfast and buffet lunch, unlimited snacks and beverages, including wine and beer throughout the day. Each guest is also provided a souvenir photo of their party, his/her own swim vest or wetsuit, towel, and swim gear, including a snorkel, mask, fins and eco-friendly sunscreen. Private lockers and dressing areas feature Crabtree & Evelyn bath products. Finally, admission also includes a pass for 14 consecutive days of unlimited admission to either SeaWorld or Aquatica in Orlando or Busch Gardens Tampa Bay to be used during the vacation. Guests can upgrade to the Ultimate Package which includes admission to all three for an additional fee.
In other news from SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay officially confirmed the building of a new cheetah-themed roller coaster slated to open in 2011. Additional information, including virtual ride-through videos can be found on the Busch Gardens website.
