As the previous posters noted, this is an amazing place. It's a little drive out from Tallahassee but the boat ride is totally worth it. There are several exotic birds, fish, plants and, of course, alligators which seem to happily co-exist with everything else. We even witnessed one sunning itself in the close company of a group of turtles! The... more

Wakulla Springs State park in Wakulla Springs, Florida is a natural beauty! Swim in the spring, bask in the Sun, take the boat trip but don't stay at the Lodge. This park is gorgeous - a true gem in North Florida. Sadly the Lodge accomodations and service are greatly lacking. After a recent stay we won't stay at the Lodge... more

We really loved the boat ride at Wakulla Springs. I've never seen a place so alive - everywhere you looked there were birds moving about, fish jumping, turtles, alligators and birds sunning themselves. Our guide was great and really wanted us to see everything. He took us to see the manatees first so that we would be sure to see... more

This is a lovely park in the panhandle of Florida, not far from Tallahassee. The "jungle" cruise is worth $6 for adults although once you've seen 20 alligators, seeing another is not such a big deal. There are plenty of photo ops on the cruise an I would estimate it takes about 1 hour. The water is crystal clear and... more

Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park and Lodge is about 20 minutes from Florida's capitol, Tallahassee. This is one of the world's largest and deepest freshwater springs. If you are not staying at the Lodge, as soon as you get there, buy a ticket for the River Tour. The day we visited, the Glass Bottom Boat tour was not operating... more

We visit Wakulla Springs every spring on our family vacation to visit relatives in Tallahassee. We really enjoy the local flavor of the guided boat tour. The Spring and the surroundings are beautiful. Don't visit without putting bug spray on! There are 2 boat tours, a glass bottom boat and a regular tour boat. Call ahead to see if the... more
