While it may be showing its age a bit this old Florida attraction is still great. Minimal cost includes the Mermaid shows, wildlife education show, a trip down the Weeki Wachee river, and a family oriented water park. This is NOT a "mouse" attraction, rather the smaller more intimate type attractions that made Florida THE vacation destination long before Walt... more

Hurrendous, cost us $64 to get in, kids were too small for slides so although we had paid for them to get into water park and they could not use it no refund was given, the water was absolutely freezing, noone wanted to go in, we saw an animal show, very boring and a mermaid show exceptionally dated.  The boat... more

well as a group Myself, my parents, grandparents, and younger sister (11 at the time) visited Weeki Wachee Springs in florida as our villa was very close by.

We went to canoe, but the attitude of the person running the store was enough to make us leave. He was very rude, wouldn't answer questions until you paid him, there was no one else in the store let alone waiting to canoe, yet he acted like he was too busy to take a minute to answer simple questions. He... more

Some 20-odd years ago my aunt and uncle took me here to see the mermaids of Weeki Wachee. The park itself hasn't changed much over the years. Which is good. It's nice to see some of old Florida is being preserved. Today, my boyfriend's daughter was absolutely enchanted by the mermaids swimming in synchronization under water. Not to mention they... more

I am a local in the Tampa Bay area. The kayak rental is the worst service and treatment by far in the entire tampa bay area. As a local, I have made several trips there to launch my own kayak and always bring family/friends for trips when they visit. This past week, 3/25 made it the offical end of every... more

This is a great place to a Florida spring, with lots of wildlife and a fun mermaid show. We went in the off-season (October), so there were only 2 mermaid shows a day, plus a show on the history of Weeki Wachee. It's amazing to see the mermaids perform tricky synchronized swimming, all at 15-60 feet deep, and using only... more

My family and I visited Weeki Wachee Springs, home of the mermaids, in June 2005. We had heard of and seen pictures of this park, as my children's great-grandparents and great-great grandparents have been visitors to this park. The park is not very large, but does have enough to do for the day. The park has 3 different shows featuring... more

A cute attraction to see. The mermaid show was something really unique. The stage is built into the side of a beautiful natural spring. Our six your old daughter was thrilled at the show and also the chance to talk to real mermaids. The water park was shutdown at the time we were there, but would have really added to... more

My husband and I visited on 05/08/2004. The boat ride was great, we saw pelicans, otters, gators, etc. and the scenery was beautiful. The mermaid show was also ver entertaining and it was wonderful to see a piece of Florida history. The waterpark, Buccaneer Bay, was very crowded so we did not spend much time there at all. The food... more
