  1. Located an hour north of Tampa, Weeki Wachee Springs was one of Florida's first tourist attractions when it opened it 1947 and was famous for its "live mermaids." A specially-designed underwater theater was built to allow visitors to watch the mermaids perform. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020 and continues to operate as a state park. #WyrdWednesday
