If you like "Old Florida attractions" this is the place for you. I love going to old Florida tourist attractions and Silver Springs transports you back to a slower pace of life. AWESOME! More

Not worth anything over $10 a ticket. I took my mom here for an early mother's day trip and we were so disappointed, I paid $70 plus $7 parking for us to go here and half of the stuff was blocked off, couldn't see the bear at all, the carousel that the kids were on had half of the animals... More

A nice way to spend a day and enjoy a concert. Not as good today as the Disney parks of course. And that's what they are competing with unfortunately. It is More

This was a very beautiful, clean park with natural springs. We saw a variety of birds and enjoyed just sitting at the springs enjoying the lovely scenery. More

We bought the one year pass, the singers they get only sing a few songs and then talk for thirty minutes. The Christmas lights are nice but the boat parade is just that ONE boat! More
