Weeki Wachee Springs State Park

Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is a one-of-a-kind Florida attraction located in Spring Hill, where world-famous live mermaid performances have captivated audiences since 1947. Visitors watch talented performers swim, flip, and even eat and drink underwater in a 400-seat submerged theater built directly into a crystal-clear first-magnitude spring. Admission includes access to Buccaneer Bay, Florida's only spring-fed water park, offering water slides, a lazy river, and a sandy beach area where guests can swim in naturally 72-degree spring water. The 538-acre park also features kayaking and paddleboarding along the scenic 2.8-mile Weeki Wachee River, a riverboat cruise, animal shows, and picnic pavilions amid a pristine natural landscape of cypress trees and abundant wildlife. This beloved landmark offers a magical blend of nature, history, and live entertainment for the whole family.
