This month's getaway is a magical one! We will explore the City of Live Mermaids, or also commonly known as Weeki Wachee. Weeki Wachee is located on the Gulf Coast of Florida,
about two hours from Longwood, FL. With endless
opportunities at this enchanted spring, the Weeki Wachee River is a
place where unforgettable memories can be made.
Called the City of Live
Mermaids, Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is a place for kids and adults
alike to enjoy the mermaid shows and the carefree
outdoors of this beautiful place.
Open every day of the year from 9:00am-5:30pm, the
city of Weeki Wachee is actually one of the smallest in the nation. In
fact, it only holds a population of 9...yes, I said 9. One of these
includes the mayor, who was a mermaid herself years
ago. "Weeki Wachee" actually means "winding river" and was named by the
Seminole Indians long ago.

Not only can you enjoy the river, but Buccaneer Bay
is a MUST SEE when you arrive at the state park! Buccaneer Bay is the
only spring fed water park in all of Florida. You can get the sand
between your toes, jump into the spring off the
dock, and lay out by the water, or enjoy the exciting, fast-paced water
slides! Bring your friends and play some beach volleyball or take a
lazy river ride!
For only $13 admission into the state park, you can
enjoy the water park, mermaid shows, animal shows, river boat cruise,
and so much more!
Weeki Wachee is a place that my family holds near
to our hearts. Many family vacations and memories have been made here,
and I hope you can make some beautiful memories there, too!! Visit
