We loved our stay at Weeki Wachee Gardens. It was the perfect place for us to relax and explore the Weeki Wachee River. The kayaks and SUPs were easy to use. We saw manatees every day when we went out. One even cam up our canal. We enjoyed eating at the Silver Dolphin and going for happy hour at the Upper Deck. We would stay here again.
