Weeki Wachee Springs is known as one of the most unique family destinations in all of Florida, offering mermaid shows, riverboat cruises, and even wildlife exhibits. But what some travelers don’t realize is that there’s an amazing water park inside Weeki Wachee Springs that provides a perfect way to spend a summer day.

Buccaneer Bay is Florida’s one and only spring-fed water park, and it’s located right in Weeki Wachee Springs. Here you’ll find much more than just a swimming area, but also high-speed water slides, flume rides, a tube ride, a lazy river, sandy beaches, and a beach volleyball court. Although the water park features are seasonal, the beach and swimming are open 365 days a year.
