Take a step back in time and experience a quintessential piece of Old Florida at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park! 💧

Named by the Seminole Indians, Weeki Wachee means “little spring” or “winding river,” as portrayed by this aerial shot. One of the park’s most recognizable features is its classic mermaid show, which has been running for over six decades. This park is also home to one of the deepest freshwater cave systems in the country, so deep that the bottom has never been found.

Visitors can enjoy the 72 degree waters year-round, making it the perfect spot to beat the Florida heat!
