It may sound like a character from a children’s television programme but in fact a better question would be WHERE is Weeky Wachee. And the answer would be in Florida.

Weeki Wachee is perhaps the world’s most innovatively named water park, and it has lots to offer for all those looking for an active and exciting time in Florida. This is a state park and there are countless different activities and delights to look forward to here.

For example there is the Weeki Wachee River boat cruise to try out. The covered river boat is lovely to ride and it keeps some of the sun off as well. The people who steer the boats are very experienced at knowing the ins and outs of their surroundings so you will learn a lot from the whole experience as well.

But what does the rest of the water park have to offer you?

There are animal shows you can watch as well while you are there, which give you a better insight into many of the animals that live in the Florida area. As such the park is an educational day out as well as a fun one. It is certainly a good option for the whole family to go to if you are all staying in the Florida area for your holiday.

Buccaneer Bay is a real highlight of your time at the Weeki Wachee park too. Here you’ll find all kinds of water based rides to try out. You might be brave enough to try the Pirate’s Plunge, which has a steep drop followed by a long flat finish to slow you down! There is also the Cannonball, which is a similar ride that starts you off in the pitch black before shooting you out into the fresh air. Do you have the nerve for it?

As you can see there are some stunning rides and activities all packed into the one water park. If you want to have a fun day out with lots to see and do, you’ll be well advised to try out the Weeki Wachee water park.
