Visiting Weeki Wachee and the Mermaids - Is It Worth the Visit?

[@FollowThomas]

I haven't been there yet but wanted to visit. Thanks for the overview and history of this place. Sad that you didn't get to go to river cruise. Great video. Looking forward for more 👍

Thanks for the comment! I went in with very high expectations which was my fault, but I also do not like water parks at all so I didn’t take advantage of Buccaneer Bay.

I have never done the river cruise either! I believe it wasn't running when I was there (this was before it became a state park, and it was a very cold day). I did, however, do the glass bottom boats at Silver Springs a little further north, which you did mention in this video, and that was really cool! Still, I'd love to see the river around Weeki Wachee someday too.

Thanks for the comment! I still have a lot of old Florida attractions on my bucket list.

I took our kids there once, when they were little, about 10 years ago. It was fun, but not something to go back to over and over.

I agree. It was neat to visit, but too far to drive from central Florida and too little to experience.

i enjoyed a visit there. it's a couple hours so i don't go often

I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it. Did you get to do the River Cruise?
