Page "Weeki Wachee, Florida" Paragraph 14

Weeki Wachee Springs, the spring of the Weeki Wachee River, is a Florida tourist attraction where underwater performances by mermaids – women dressed in fancy outfits with fins about their legs – can be viewed in an aquarium-like setting.

There are currently 15 female mermaid performers and 4 male performers.

The attraction includes a Buccaneer Bay water park, animal shows, and boat rides.

General Manager Robyn Anderson is also the town's mayor.

The park is now an official Florida State Park and is owned and managed by the State Parks department.
