Achieving relaxation and excitement in one day is easy at Discovery Cove thanks to its tropical resort pools. Swimming in Serenity Bay makes you feel like you are at the beach with the scenic palms and tropical setup, and visiting early gives you the chance to watch flamingos walk through the area. With Wind-Away River, you can ride the currents of a tropical river through a dense rain forest and an underwater cave before floating down the lazy river.

Discovery Cove is just a 24-minute drive from the Bear’s Den resort.
