Steve’s take
Live mermaids. Performing underwater. In a natural spring. Since 1947. Weeki Wachee is the most gloriously Old Florida attraction that still exists, and the mermaid show is performed in a spring-fed underwater theater that's been doing this act since Eisenhower was president. Your kids will believe in mermaids for the rest of the day. The river boat cruise shows you manatees and the waterpark uses spring water. About an hour north of Tampa on US-19. Do not skip this.
