See Live Mermaids
About an hour north of Tampa in Florida sits Weeki Wachee Springs, a roadside park which has been hosting visitors since 1947. Here you can take a riverboat ride to spot manatees, watch an animal show featuring parrots and reptiles or take a swim in Buccaneer Bay, Florida’s only spring fed waterpark. Of course, the main attraction at Weeki Wachee is the mermaids. That’s right, twice a day, actresses clad in full mermaid attire put on a show in a special underwater theatre. Right now they are appropriately performing Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Little Mermaid”. The park is open Thursday-Sunday through the end of March and daily during the spring and summer months.
