Long before Florida became the world's theme park capital, Silver Springs was welcoming visitors to experience the natural wonders of the Sunshine State. Dating back to the 1870s, its world-famous glass-bottom boats helped launch Florida's attractions industry and remain one of its most enduring experiences. Today, guests can discover crystal-clear springs, abundant wildlife, scenic waterways and a remarkable piece of Florida tourism history.

As an FAA member, Silver Springs State Park represents a wonderful connection between our industry's past and future. Its commitment to preserving Florida's natural treasures while creating memorable guest experiences reminds us that attractions come in all shapes and sizes, and that some of Florida's greatest attractions were created by nature itself. We're proud to have this Florida original as part of the FAA family!
