SeaWorld Orlando and Discovery
Cove
SeaWorld Orlando and its sister park Discovery Cove are perhaps
the area's most popular "quiet theme parks". Roller coasters
have been a relatively recent attraction at SeaWorld Orlando, which
is rightfully better known for its marine life adventure. The park
has 200 acres of sea-themed shows, attractions and rides. It's generally
quieter than most theme parks with the exception of riders of Kraken,
which is known as Orlando's tallest and fastest floorless roller
coaster. A recently opened Waterfront is a five-acre village with
the sounds, flavor and festivity associated with vibrant seaside
cities. Shows and animal exhibits include polar bears, killer whales,
manatees, sea lions, penguins and dolphins.
Discovery Cove is an entirely different animal. It's an exclusive
island oasis where guests can swim with dolphins, snorkel with tropical
fish and hand-feed exotic birds. It's an all-inclusive, reservations-only
adventure that includes a full day of activities. Swim and snorkel
gear are provided, as well as lunch. Visitors also get a seven-consecutive-day
pass to either SeaWorld Orlando or Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. A tip:
plan to make reservations early because the park fills up quickly
and only a limited number of visitors are accepted. Attendance is
limited to 1,000 people a day. There's a high level of guest service.
And because of its limited numbers, this is one theme park that
is never crowded.
