The Mermaids of Wikee Wachee
Wikee Wachee State Park isn't your normal Florida State Park. It opened as a tourist attraction in 1947. Newt Perry created an underwater show using underwater breathing hoses. Over the years the show adapted and grew and in 2008 The Florida State Parks system took over the grounds and they continue to provide a great tourist experience. Today the mermaid show is based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid and there are ranger talks and nature boat rides all for $13 per person. Dogs aren't allowed in but the lady at the front convinced us that Francis was a service dog. It wasn't very crowded so we went along with it. It was an incredible experience and you should really go.
