Manager's Message
Hello All, A big welcome to our northern friends as they begin to arrive to our Sunshine State. Be sure to drop in and catch a mermaid show and/or shop at the Gift Locker for those special holiday gifts. We still have the Mermaid photo calendars available and as always, be sure to check the special events calendar for some very exciting and fun times. Looking forward to seeing everyone having a great time! In November, the park will begin as operators of the canoe/kayak launch and rental service. I would like to inform everyone that the launch and rental service will be closed from November 1st to November 6th so that park staff can get the facility ready for operation and make the transition as smooth as possible. It will re-open on November 7th with pricing and other important information made available on this website or at www.weekiwachee.com at that time.
- Toby Brewer, Park Manager
Welcome to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park
The mermaids at Weeki Wachee Springs have delighted visitors since 1947. Today, visitors can still witness the magic of the mermaids, take a river boat cruise and canoe or kayak on the Weeki Wachee River. The 538-acre park features a first magnitude spring and a 400-seat submerged theatre for watching the live mermaid show.
Buccaneer Bay offers a fun-filled flume ride for thrill seekers of all ages. Our white sandy beach area and covered picnic pavilions provide a relaxing day for your entire family. Weeki Wachee’s animal shows provide audiences with an entertaining and educational look at domesticated birds and reptiles. Located on U.S. 19 at the intersection of State Road 50, just north of Spring Hill and south of Homosassa Springs.
