Flip through to find spots where your kiddo can dream of being president, take to the seas pirate style, go on safari and more!

Meet Mermaids at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park—Spring Hill, Fl

Get in on under-the-sea adventures with your little imagineer in Mermaid City. The mermaids here love performing. They put on four shows each day, from a dramatic underwater performance of The Little Mermaid to plain old Fish Tails that highlight their agility and the magic of their underwater world. Plus, we love that after your visit, your mer-fan can pen letters to his favorite performer through Weeki Wachee’s Tail Mail program. It’s enough to convince anyone that mermaids really do exist!
