Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is quite an original day trip from Tampa. This natural spring has been turned into a one-of-a-kind mermaid-themed attraction.
It’s really quite difficult to sum up everything that Weeki Wachee Springs State Park has to offer. While the iconic mermaid show is of course the most popular part, visitors can also explore freshwater caves, get the adrenaline pumping at the water park portion, learn about the wildlife of Florida, and even kayak or swim around the spring.
