Silver Springs is a hidden treasure in north central
Florida that is usually missed by most tourists. It is located
near Ocala, Florida just 75 miles (120 km) north of Orlando.
Located at the headwaters of the Silver river, the springs
gush nearly 550 million gallons (over 2,000 million liters) of
crystal clear water every day creating the largest natural
artesian spring formation in the world.
The waters of
Silver Springs and the nearby Silver River are so transparent
that this has become a favorite location for the filming of
underwater scenes in many movies and television shows.
You can visit Silver Springs and view the underwater
creatures in a glass-bottomed boat, take a jungle cruise,
visit the wildlife park, petting zoo and alligator farm. You
can stroll through the botanical gardens, watch an animal show
and listen to a concert.
Opening Times The park is open
daily 10:00am through till 5:00pm.

days excursion. Start early and expect to get home late.
