A visit to Homosassa Springs provides an opportunity to experience Florida wildlife up close and in a natural setting. This is one of the few places where you can be guaranteed to see manatees year-round. An underwater observatory provides a great viewing opportunity without getting wet; you can get within inches of a manatee!

The park serves as a rehabilitation center and refuge for endangered West Indian manatees that have been orphaned or injured in the wild and also for manatees that have been born in captivity. The natural spring environment allows them an opportunity to re-acclimate themselves to a more natural environment before they are returned to the wild.

The springs are the headwaters of the beautiful Homosassa River that flows nine miles west into the Gulf of Mexico. Saltwater and freshwater fish are attracted to these natural springs with their constant, year-round temperature of 72 degrees F. A floating underwater observatory inside the springs allows the visitor to view fish and manatee at close range.

Over 180 acres of wetlands, hammocks, and warm springs bring thousands of visitors each year to see Florida's native wildlife. Boardwalks traverse nearly the entire park weaving visitors through a maze of wildlife homes where alligators, foxes, eagles, bobcats, cougars, river otters and black bear are protected. Numerous shallow ponds dotted with small grassy islands provide a natural environment for a variety of native birds including the colorful roseate spoonbills and pink flamingos.

The wildlife park even features a large picnic area called the Garden of the Springs. This area has an observation deck, a dozen picnic tables, restrooms, and children's museum where computers and touch-tables bring nature to life.

Two favorite features of the park are the tours offered by park staff and volunteers. A 20-minute boat tour along Pepper Creek identifies the various nesting grounds of the resident birdlife. The Fishbowl Underwater Observatory located in the 45-foot spring allows an up close look at marine life.
