Silver Springs

I’ve been here twice. The first time I went I got to see a giraffe being born.

My Grandparents used to take me there when I was a kid. Always had alot of fun and learned so much.

A 350 acre nature theme park surrounds the headwaters of the beautiful Silver River, the largest artesian spring formation in the world. Located 90 miles north of Orlando, just east of Ocala, Florida.

Here you can view the underground springs from our famous glass-bottom boats, where you’ll see fish, shellfish, turtles and alligators in water that’s up to 80 feet deep and 99.8% pure. Walk the beautiful grounds and experience the natural habitats of Florida’s largest alligators, endangered bears and panthers, Kritter Korral petting zoo, plus an entertaining variety of wildlife shows from Birds of Prey to snakes and reptiles. There are rides and exhibits for all ages in a natural setting of stunning beauty.

Plus they have concerts in the spring/summer. It’s a beautiful park. The glass bottom boats are so much fun! They have 3 different boat rides and you have to go on all of them.
