Welcome to Weeki Wachee Springs

Nestled along Florida’s stunning Nature Coast, Weeki Wachee Springs is a destination like no other. Famous for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant wildlife, and rich history, this iconic spot has captivated visitors for decades. Established in 1947, Weeki Wachee Springs gained fame as one of Florida’s original roadside attractions. The park is best known for its enchanting mermaid shows, where talented performers glide gracefully through the pristine spring waters, bringing a touch of fantasy to this natural wonder. Today, it remains a beloved destination for families, nature enthusiasts, and adventurers alike.

The spring itself is a marvel of nature, pumping an astonishing 117 million gallons of fresh water daily. This first-magnitude spring is home to an abundance of wildlife, including manatees, turtles, and a dazzling array of fish. Visitors can explore the spring on a kayak or paddleboard, gliding over waters so clear you can see the bottom, even in the deepest sections. Buccaneer Bay, Florida’s only spring-fed water park, offers a refreshing twist on the typical beach day with its water slides, sandy shores, and lazy river—all powered by the spring’s pure waters.

For those who love adventure, the nearby Weeki Wachee River is a must-see. Rent a kayak or canoe and paddle down its winding course, surrounded by lush, untouched wilderness. Keep an eye out for playful manatees or colorful birds soaring overhead. Hiking enthusiasts will enjoy the serene trails through the surrounding parklands, offering a chance to connect with nature at its finest.

Whether you’re marveling at the iconic mermaid performances, floating down the river, or soaking up the sunshine in Buccaneer Bay, Weeki Wachee Springs is a slice of old Florida charm that continues to delight visitors of all ages. It’s the perfect blend of history, natural beauty, and unforgettable experiences.
