    Little mermaid show
    Megan K.

    Since we got our state park pass (we get admission for two free here), I've been taking multiple friends. The mermaid shows change (not sure how frequently). We have been twice this week and saw two different shows. After the show, there's always a mermaid by the gift shop that you can take a pic with. You can take them on your phones or pay like $5 to get an autographed pic. I think it's cool you have options! The spring beach is awesome, there's a few places to enter and now that it's warmer, they have tons of chairs out for people and some seating with umbrellas. They also have the water slide going now that it's warmer! There's a little playground and a restaurant, little boat tour and an animal show. The tour and show are also included in the admission! Each time we have been (about four times so far), we have spent a minimum of 3 hours.

    BEAUTIFUL WATERS. Just follow the rules and you will love it. Alcohol and smoke free. Do not tie your boats off. They will ticket you. The waters are beautiful and crystal clear here. Enjoy

    Great place to spend the day! We went kayaking, saw the mermaid show, ate a great lunch, swimming in the spring pool, and had snacks all for under $200 for a group of 3.

    Last night was our second time visiting Weeki Wachee. The first time we came was during the day - and, apparently I got distracted before doing a review. I'm writing about it here but have no pictures from our day trip. Last night was the Halloween carnival. During the day: the line to get in is long! Come early. My grandsons went down the waterslide so many times I stopped counting. We loved swimming to the dock. The mermaid show was so iconic - it was awesome to show the boys the first roadside attraction. The show has been running since 1947!! 78 years at this point. Wild 'n Wicked Nights: we had no idea what to expect. The line to get in was even longer! Wow. Once the gate opened, line moved fast though. We started in the haunted maze (boys are 9 and 13). It was just the right level of spooky. The Other Side Haunted Manor was more scary - still okay but we jumped a few times. The Dead Bay Excursion was surprising. Fun. I'll leave it at that. Mermaid show always wonderful. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff.

    Weeki Wachee Springs has so much potential. Cute idea overall and highlight of the park is the cool mermaid show. Lots of talent and unique skills to put on an underwater show. Nice family park with plenty to do but you must plan accordingly. Highly recommended to arrive early as the park closes when at capacity which can be reached early in the day. Amazing natural spring with crystal clear water once you acclimate yourself after the first dip in the cold 72-73 degree water all year round. Love the slides and great for the kids and adults of all ages. The lazy river is disappointing overall. It's an extra $10 for the donut and $10 for access and really is not worth the 5-10 minutes of a very short unimpressive float down about 40-50 yards of a super lazy river. The wilderness river cruise was okay and educational with cool facts and information. Only tip that's suggested is to sign up for the cruise immediately upon entering the park to secure your spot on the cruise that leaves every hour on the hour as they will fill up quickly. We were not able to experience anything else as the ranger experience and amphitheater had no events or shows planned which is disappointing as it can make the visit so much better and entertaining. Overall, it's a lovely family oriented park and a nice natural spring but has so much more potential to be a greater and more amazing attraction.

    I had an amazing visit here in December. Even though it was off season I had an incredible time. The river guides were extremely informative and I was so thankful for all the info they provided! The entire staff is so sweet and nice. I cannot wait to return to kayak and hopefully see the manatees! The beach access was super neat and I can myself spending the day there relaxing and taking a dip into the 72° water. Florida state parks are certainly a state treasure. Definitely recommend for a day trip :)

    Mermaid show!

    Weeki Wachee is a gem. Go early and prepare for a full day of fun. The park offers so many fun things and on special occasions you may even see a manatee in the swimming area! Make sure to make time to see the mermaid show. It is one of a kind!Paddling the river is separate of the park and takes advanced reservations.

    This was a really cute experience! We were in town visiting my in-laws, and we've been talking about this place for over a year. It was a pretty windy Monday afternoon when we made it out, so it wasn't too busy. The employees greeting us as we came in were very friendly and a great indicator for what we were in for! We came for the mermaid show, so we ambled about until we were ready to stake our place in line. We came across multiple picture points (super cute) and saw that they have a spring you can actually swim in and a beach for it! From what people were saying, you could also kayak down for 7 miles where a bus will pick you up and bring you back. That sounds cool! Once let into the mermaid theater, there are TVs that display old black and white videos of the shows from years past. Once the show started, we were dazzled. It's a really cool skill to be able to do what they do. The show they did was Little Mermaid, and the villain was the best part for me. When the show was done, we headed to the gift shop and bought a couple of things, all very reasonably priced. We also had excellent customer service while we were in there, such a sweet girl! We had a great first time at Weeki Wachee, and I look forward to coming back one day.

    An overall wonderful and enjoyable experience for the family. Weeki Wachee is a great "starter" for those that are new to natural springs and want to get their feet wet (no pun intended). Tips: - As a good rule of thumb, get there early. We went during the last days of the summer (during Labor Day weekend), and a third of the lot was already full right after opening (9 am). - Parking is free - first-come-first-serve, so if you want a good spot, see first tip above. - There's a website that will give you an idea of what you can and cannot bring into the park (definitely recommend bringing an authorized cooler for snacks and beverages, although there are food and refreshments available on site). - The admission covers access to the general areas of the park, wading area of the natural spring, and mermaid shows. Everything else comes as an additional fee (ie. the lazy river, boat tour, etc.). - The beach area is a first-come-first-serve area (you don't have to rent the loungers, but the umbrellas might come with a rental charge). - If the mermaid shows are on your to-do-list while you're here, make sure you get to the show at least 15 minutes prior if you want good seats. The ushers will cap off when the auditorium reaches capacity. It's a great show covering the history of the Weeki Wachee Springs, so I definitely recommend attending if you have the capacity to do so. Make sure you dry off before coming here though. The Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is a great park to take the family to cool down and enjoy some water activities. As a disclaimer, my review is covering the park side of the overall Weeki Wachi Springs. There is a more "active" portion of the park in which you can cruise the entire length and tributaries of the springs. About a 40-minute trip from north Tampa, Weeki Wachee Springs sits along the main Route 19 corridor in Hernando County. The environ of the natural spring does not lend itself to be apparent, however, there are signs and displays directing visitors to the park. As you park, you may notice that there are two "entrances". There is the park entrance (which this review is covering) and another entrance for canoe, kayak, and paddle board rentals (I believe this entrance leads to the more "active" portion of the park). It was a wonderful experience. The park does a great job at maintaining its tidiness, although sometimes the trash containers may fill up quickly during peak visitation. It was nice to see through the clear water in both the wading areas and lazy river. The water was extremely cool, but refreshing (do not let this discourage you from getting in - I assure you that your body will acclimate to the springs and it's going to feel great afterwards). As it is a natural spring, there is naturally loose debris of vegetation floating around - so don't be alarmed. There are amenities such as bathrooms, rentable lockers, umbrellas, and cabanas to augment your experience. The lazy river portion came at an additional $10 fee per person for unlimited rides. It's a short and slow journey, but the water in this portion is crystal blue. It is deeper than the wading area, so just prepare yourself if you have anxiety about treading into deep waters. There's also plenty of large fish in this portion which is pretty neat. The mermaid show was spectacular. The show times were limited, and we were barely able to squeeze in to the showing. The center of the auditorium probably offers the best view and presentation of the show, however the extreme ends of the auditorium still offer decent views. Although it might not be for everyone, it was a great experience to learn some history while enjoying the spring. We definitely recommend this for families and couples!

    Pretty affordable springs, 19$ per adult. The water is naturally super cold, they say it's about 72 degrees but it really felt colder. I suggest wearing a wetsuit if your not use to cold water. The boat tour was actually the best part to me as you were able to see a lot of fishes aand the water was clear. For the springs part that you actually go in, the water was not as clear but not sure if that's because recently there was a passing hurricane. Goggles are a great idea. You are allowed to bring your own floating devices or can pay to rent one. They have a mermaid show, which there pretty famous for, but the inside of the area is freezing like so cold your body is shaking. You must have shoes on to see the under water mermaid show. We had went after we were in the water so that didn't help the cold water plus the freezing cold show. Now we know

    We had such a fun day renting kayaks and paddling down WW river. The wildlife is beautiful and the water was a perfect temperature for a hot day. My only complaint was how crowded the river became because of the large motorized boats, which would've made me worried if I had kids or dogs swimming with us. Otherwise overall a great experience.

    Had an amazing time at Weeki Wachee Springs with my husband! We went kayaking and got to see manatees up close--such a peaceful and unforgettable experience. The water was crystal clear and absolutely beautiful, though be prepared--it's definitely chilly! It did get a little crowded, but the views and the adventure made it more than worth it. The pricing was affordable, which was a nice surprise. If you're planning to go, get there early because parking fills up fast. Also, for first-timers, I recommend bringing a small cooler with drinks. You're out in the sun for a while and can get dehydrated quickly. All in all, it's a perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and create great memories.

    This place is absolutely incredible. For one price 13 dollars for an adult, 10 for a child and my 4 year old was free, we spent the entire day! This includes the world famous mermaid show, a water park, animal show, and riverboat ride. We had so much fun. Definitely a great staycation choice

We walked past every booth, exploring what each one served, foods, trinkets, T shirts and other hand made craft items. We settled on grouper sandwiches from burger boyz, a Hispanic twist on some of the worst foods we've ever eaten. I just wanted clam strips. (You usually get a good sized portion) not this place! 2 huge scoops of nasty, cold rice with very little flavor and it was a bit mushy. Then a tiny cup , half filled with soured coleslaw. Just a handful of small clam strips. When I say small, I mean half the size of a normal clam strips. They were ok. $10.00 for a very watered down lemonade. The food and drink cost close to $40.00!!!! Lousy food, lousy service! Now the funnel cake was from a food truck called, A fork in the road. THEY are the only reason for 2 stars. The funnel cake was fried to a golden brown and loaded with powdered sugar. Very delicious. Their price $10.00, reasonable for how thick and large the funnel cake was. The 2 young men serving were pleasant and eagerly smiled as they held up their masterpiece. There were tents set up with tables and chairs. But, there were no lights so we had to eat in the dark. There was a band playing. They were pretty good, playing rock and roll. To be honest with anyone reading this review, we will not go back to one of these seafood festivals. The food was terrible, the service was bad and the prices were ridiculously stupid! Definitely not worth the money. By the time we made it home, none of us were feeling good. We were bloated, a bit nauseated too. Sorry to say, but this was the worst seafood festival we've ever been to.

The sand is good, they even have a handicap walk out on the beach to make it easy for those in wheelchairs. They do not have any beach wheelchairs, however, at least that's what I was told by someone who worked there. They are very few handicap parking spots.

Had a slightly traumatic experience today. My 7 year old got stuck (for 5 to 10 minutes) in the big slide which is pitch dark all the way through (fun but not when you get stuck) and he wasn't helped promptly. Full story - I was up there at the slide entrance and i could hear him screaming that he needs help. There was a staff up there (looked like a teenage kid) who had a walkie talkie. I assumed he would have informed the people in charge as soon as he got stuck. I kept talking to my son to lie down and try to push himself down and he kept responding saying he's trying everything but is still stuck and it is getting very uncomfortable. After a while I checked with the staff whether someone is coming to help. And then I see him telling on the walkie talkie "the boy is stuck on the slide can someone help?". I was shocked. It must have been a good 5 minutes (no watch, just guessing) and he just thought of informing?! By the time someone could come, my son finally managed to push himself down. I told the guy "you should have informed quicker" and his response was "talk to my manager". I thought "ok no use talking to the teenage kid he probably wasn't trained how to react in these situations". I went to the manager and told her "please train your staff to inform quicker" her response "he probably was sitting down, we cannot do anything about this" i go "No he was lying down this time.. first time he was sitting, but this time he was lying" she repeats "he probably was sitting; we don't promise how long it takes to slide; you eventually get down and that's what matters". Is this an empathetic response? I mean i get you have to stick to boiler plate legal language at times, but im not trying to sue anyone here. Im just looking for "i understand that must have felt scary, ill talk to my staff on acting quicker". I felt like I was talking to a robot both with the teenage staff and with the manager. Anyway, my husband intervened and helped the communication and both the manager and the teenage staff eventually apologized and i really appreciated it. Takeaway - If you're not staying in Holiday Inn, NorthShore Aquatic Center might be as fun for a fraction of the cost If you're staying in Holiday Inn, avoid the blue slide or go shirtless (another staff pointed out that might have helped) I see other reviews as well about untrained and disengaged teenage staff. Should have read before I visited!

Her attitude was basically: "We don't care. Go complain to corporate." Absolutely pathetic service. They took our money, wasted over an hour of our time, misled us about closing, left a family with children and two elderly parents standing there for nothing, and then acted arrogant when asked for help. The whole place is clearly badly managed and staffed by people who do not care at all about customers. 1 star is far too generous. This place deserves 0. If you care about your family, your time, or being treated with basic respect, stay far away from this disgusting, arrogant mess.

While there have been some positives, the overall direction, especially in recent years, has been disappointing. The biggest issue is a clear decline in customer experience. The Metro Development Group management team seems to have lost sight of what made this place successful in the first place: its residents. The very people who built the Lagoon's reputation are now being treated like an afterthought. One example is the entry process. Residents used to have a dedicated entry and bag check, which made sense and showed value for membership. That has slowly been phased out, leaving members stuck in long general admission lines. For a paid membership experience, that's simply unacceptable. Even more frustrating is the constant rollout of new systems that feel unfinished. Instead of leveraging existing member data, residents are repeatedly forced to re-register as if they're brand new. This creates unnecessary confusion--for both members and staff--and leads to avoidable issues. This past weekend, I watched a longtime "legacy member" family of five get told only the father existed in the system. The rest of the family had been removed and would need to enter as guests. That's not just inconvenient--it's embarrassing and unacceptable for a venue of this caliber. I had a similar experience myself. I used my membership card to check in and purchase a drink with no issue. Less than an hour later, the same card suddenly "didn't exist" in the system. I was forced to go through the entire setup process again. There's clearly a lack of consistency and reliability in their system. At this point, it feels like this location is being used as a testing ground for new processes rather than being properly managed. If that's the case, there's little evidence that feedback is being implemented or that improvements are being made for this community. Metro needs leadership with real hospitality experience--someone who understands how to run a high-quality, member-focused venue and deliver a consistent experience. If management is reading this: please remember what made this Lagoon successful. Invest in your residents, fix the systems, and bring back the level of service this community deserves. This was the first Lagoon in the U.S.--it should be one of the best, not one of the most frustrating.

    It's so nice having a playground so close to Armature Works…read more I think an idyllic afternoon is grabbing a bite to eat and a drink at Armature Works and then walking with the kids to this playground/splash pad. There are restrooms here that make it easy to change your children into their bathing suits. They also have shaded picnic tables. The splash pad and playground is gated so you can let the kids run around inside while you sit and chat on the outside of the gate at the shaded picnic tables. I would highly recommend bringing swimsuits and all your water stuff if you decide to come here, because the playground part is quite small and in the same area as the splash pad. They aren't separated, so your child will most likely get wet whether you want them to or not if you come here, better to just prepare for them to get wet. The splash pad has one of those buckets that fill up and then dump all over the children, which I find kids absolutely love. There is also a ropes climbing part that they can get to a crows nest, so I would say the ideal age for this play area is between four and 10. I have a five year-old and a seven-year-old and they loved it.

    Something for everyone here at this park! A splash park adjacent to the playground. Tables and…read morebenches all around for parents to sit while kids played. The gated park is also in a greater park area, with a boardwalk along the river, a mini bridge over a pond of turtles and fish, and a turf field with chairs for lounging.
