Weeki Wachee Springs State Park
Weeki Wachee Springs State Park combines natural beauty with one of Florida’s most iconic attractions. The park is home to a first-magnitude spring and the world-famous live mermaid shows performed in a submerged 400-seat theater, where performers present underwater productions such as The Little Mermaid.
Visitors can also swim in the clear spring waters at Buccaneer Bay, Florida’s only spring-fed water park, or explore the Weeki Wachee River by kayak, paddleboard, or guided boat cruise.
First opened as a roadside attraction in 1947 and now part of the Florida State Parks system, Weeki Wachee Springs remains a classic Old Florida destination where guests can enjoy the spring, wildlife, and the park’s historic mermaid tradition.

Sav_cc33Launching and shuttling your kayak is so cheap and easy! The staff are very friendly as well. I wish there was more variety in their gift shop though, I wanted more than a sticker for sure. The springs 2.8 mile downstream ride on my kayak was so peaceful! I got the last 9am slot on a Saturday there was barely anyone there and I was alone for most of the way. I saw a snake, so many birds and fish and the most beautiful water I’ve ever seen. It was refreshing to dip my hands in and coast while watching everything. Definitely will come back again!

Antonella SantoroIt’s great for kids, but I enjoyed it too. Unfortunately, the river cruise wasn’t operating, which was a bit disappointing. However, the place is very interesting overall. The mermaids put on a lovely show. If you’re looking for something a little different, it’s definitely worth visiting. And for kids, it’s absolutely amazing.

MrsH KingSuch a great place, incredible staff, beautiful mermaids, knowledgable florida park rangers who show off their few resident critters. Swim in the spring and watch for manatees. Always stop by when I'm in the area. If yoi not swimming there is a playground for kids and little restaurants for lunch. A great quick day trip.

Carson S MillerA truly unique experience. Just $13 gets you access to the natural springs and water park, a scenic boat ride on the river, and the one-of-a-kind underwater mermaid show. Get there early on busy days as they close the park once it is full. You can also bring your own cooler, chairs, etc, but be sure to look up the restrictions to avoid getting pulled aside when checking in. Free parking!

John SandersonWe had such a great time but before you go make sure to make reservations or something like that. We pulled in and then turned away to scan a qr code to register before entering. Kind of annoying but all Gucci. Crystal clear waters and clean boats with a great staff.
