This was a wonderful excursion a little over an hour west of Orlando, beautiful spring with a boardwalk walkway around it plenty of manatees swimming in and out of the spring . You cannot access the water or swim with the manatees if visiting the park via the main entrance. You’d need to book an excursion for manatee swimming with an external tour company. They drop you off by boat at the mouth of the spring.

Beautiful place to visit and see the manatees. Handicap parking is very lacking, and if you have trouble walking great distances, and scooter is highly recommended.

This was an incredible park to visit. Expansive walking trails with great viewing areas of the springs to catch a glimpse of manatees if you are lucky!

Excellent spot to see the manatees when they migrate inland. A couple of decent hiking trails. Staff is superfriendly. if they could just keep snorklers and kayaks away from the manatees, visitors would have a much better chance to see them.

We rented a Kajak to see the manatees in the three sisters Springs. We saw a lot, it is so funny to watch them while they are swimming under you!
But we chose a really bad time. It was so crowded with tourboats, paddlers and divers. One hour later when we did the round walk on the wooden platform, there were only a couple of kayaks on the water.
