Situated in Spring Hill on the Gulf Coast, this park is less than a one-hour drive north of Tampa. It’s best known for the 72-degree freshwater springs and the mermaids. Stop in at the 400-seat submerged theater erected in 1947 and take in a performance of “The Little Mermaid.” The spring here feeds the popular Buccaneer Bay waterpark. Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, or take a riverboat ride. Adult admission is $13.00.
