Weeki Wachee Springs – A Florida Original

Weeki Wachee Springs, an underwater show featuring “mermaids” has been around since 1947 and if you’ve never been there, you’re missing one of Florida’s oldest and most unique attractions. Located in Spring Hill, about two hours from Orlando, Weeki Wachee Springs is open every day from 9am to 5:30pm. Its website, http://weekiwachee.com/home.html, has lots of information about the various shows and attractions as well as the interesting history of the park.  Photo by Leonard J.
