   - excellent gem of amusement park
   Boat Tours • Gear Rentals • Kayaking & Canoeing
   
   
   I had a few hours between business trip meetings and decided to stop for a visit. It is small (doable in a few hours, but very nice grounds and friendly and helpful staff). Everyone their had a nice smile and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The mermaid show was packed (they let the line seat about 20 minutes before the show, so get in line about 30 minutes prior to show). You cannot use flash in the theater, and my camera phone did not end up with great picture. Seating in the middle is best for viewing. Took the boat ride (about 20 minutes) and that was enjoyable as the guide explained about some eagles nests, fish and turtles we saw along the springs. Lots of peacocks strutting around. There is plenty of free parking. At $13 it is worth it considering the prices of the Orlando theme parks. See more..
   
2. 4.5 Weeki Wachee Kayaking (572 reviews)
   - A must see and do
   Sunday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Kayaking & Canoeing
   
   
   We made reservations online,super easy. I highly recommend weekdays because there is less kayakers on the river. You get the kayak for two hours but the 3.8 mile trip usually takes about 90 minutes. No single use containers are allowed so bring a reusable water bottle. I also recommend a dry bag and waterproof case for your phone. There is a shuttle that will bring you back to the launch point and your car. Because we went in late May, I wasn’t expecting to see manatees but we did see one along with three owls, ibises and tons of fish! Easy trip for beginners See more..

   While vacationing in Weeki Wachee, Florida, our family visited this place 3 days out of our 7-day stay. It was just a leisurely 15-minute drive. Get there early in the morning because of limited parking which is only $5 a day. Restrooms, a concession stand, covered picnic tables, charcoal grills, play area for the kids with slides and swings. Great water and a place to fish. Lots of room for sunbathing. This is our 4th year going and always a super time. See more..

   - Excellent
   Sunday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Kayaking & Canoeing
   
   
   After getting a very rude service from Weeki Wachee rental we where advised to visit Jon at the The Kayak Shack, what a man! Got us on the river within 20 minutes at a excellent rate, told us where to go for the manatees and was just a spot on man in general. Pub directly next door did excellent food right on the river and i would recommend the gator tail. Definitely worth a visit anytime of the year. See more..
