Rita Jane King
History of Weeki Wachee Mermaids
Join former mermaid Rita Jane King to learn about the fascinating history of Weeki Wachee Springs and its famous Mermaid Attraction that began in the 1940s. Rita became a “Mermaid” in the 1960s, and still plays an important role in this world famous attraction that has turned Weeki Wachee into the “City of Mermaids”.
One of Florida’s oldest attractions – predating Disney World by decades – Weeki Wachee Springs is now a Florida State Park. Learn how the “Mermaids” and their shows are the prime reason this attraction continues to thrive today.
