Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is the only spring in the world with live mermaid performances, entertaining audiences since 1947 as one of Florida’s most legendary and unique family destinations. Part of the Adventures Unbound network operated by Guest Services, Inc. (the same network as Blue Spring, De Leon Springs, and Wakulla Springs), the park is a genuine one-stop springs water adventure.
Beyond the iconic Mermaid Shows, the park offers a river boat cruise, Buccaneer Bay Waterpark for swimming in pristine spring waters, the Magical Mermaid Boutique gift shop, and a Tail Mail program. Kayak & Paddleboard Rentals are available directly on the river — the only kayak and paddleboard rental facility located right on the river at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park — with a Private Boat Launch also available for guests wanting to launch their own boat directly into the springs.
The park is also a popular wedding venue, with lush greenery, beautiful flowers, and a bright, romantic ambiance for ceremonies and reception photos. Upcoming seasonal events include the Magical Mermaid Tea Party and Wild ‘N’ Wicked Nights, a Halloween-season event.
For families and paddlers near Weeki Wachee, Florida looking for a genuinely iconic springs experience — mermaid shows, kayak or paddleboard rentals, or a private boat launch — Weeki Wachee Springs State Park offers a legendary, nearly 80-year established destination.
