Silver Springs Tickets
Silver Springs is a 350 acre theme park surrounding the stunning Silver River, upon which the world-famous Glass Bottom Boats offer passengers an unparalleled view of underwater life in the 99.8 percent pure waters of the springs.
This unique attraction is a superb alternative from the bustle of Orlando’s theme parks, and is especially enjoyable for younger members in the party, who will love meeting the native inhabitants of Florida including Gators, Bears and Panthers.
Among the numerous rides and attractions be sure to check out:
- Glass Bottom Boats which will take you on an enchanting tour of the seven major spring formations at the headwaters. One spring, Fish Reception Hall, is home to dozens of species of fish as well as alligators, clams, crawfish, shrimp, snails and six different kinds of turtles, all amidst the backdrop of tiny fossilized shells from 70 million years ago.
- Fort King River Cruise which carries you through Silver Springs’ 10,000 year history.
- Lost River Voyage transports guests back in time to wild Florida as it was thousands of years ago—untouched and untamed. Riverbanks are lined with towering bald cypress trees, some more than 500 years old. See alligators, turtles, heron, osprey, and other wildlife basking and feeding in their natural habitat.
- Big Gator Lagoon is a one-acre cypress swamp habitat featuring more than three dozen of Florida’s largest alligators, most 11 to 13 feet in length! Guests observe these large reptiles from the safety of an elevated boardwalk.
- Ross Allen Island features a collection of native snakes, turtles, arachnids (spiders), otters and other animals found in Florida.
- Panther Prowl is an extraordinary opportunity to photograph the Western cougar, a close cousin of the rare and endangered Florida panther—North America’s largest and most majestic wild cat.
- Kritter Korral features a variety of farm animals like sheep, rabbits, donkeys, turkeys, and goats that park guests can pet and hand feed. They’re popular with the younger crowd and love the attention they get!
- World of Bears is the largest bear exhibit of its kind in the world. Two acres of outdoor habitats showcase a variety of rare and endangered bear species including North American black bears and Kodiaks (the only brown bears on exhibit in Florida).
Yours Silver Springs Ticket also includes FREE entry to WILD WATERS Water Park. After a day cruising on inviting waters under the hot Florida sun, why not pop over to Wild Waters water park where you can soak up the sun on the man-made “beach” or keep cool in the shade of the giant oaks and palm trees.
