Very beautiful natural environment. It was great to tour the lake with a very good guide and also a boat captain. The bottom of the water in feet of depth is so clear in some places that you lose your sense of depth. When we respect and protect the environment, we can experience many beauties.Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
The glass bottom boats are always a fun adventure if you have children. And worth a ride one time if you are an adult. There is also a learning area inside the main building for children. The rooftop is often used for wedding receptions, family reunions, or large parties. The surrounding natural area is great for photography if you are doing portrait shots. I have done several photo shoots here and enjoyed it every time.
Our guide was amazing! I wish I would've gotten a name. The boat tour is 30 min and we were the only ones here. It was a beautiful day and the breeze was wonderful.... The tour was great. Informative and interesting. I would definitely do it again and would recommend itVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$6–10

Boating is great. The guide provided lot of great information. The tour last for 30 mins. Check Groupon for tickets benefits. Parking is not free.
The Meadows Center is a great place to visit with many opportunities. The facilities can sometimes be over loved and it's been a while since the school has reinvested much of the proceeds, but it's definitely worth some time. Great viewing of the outdoors, birding, etc. The glass bottom boats are always cool when folks visit and they are open. The Nature Center is of some interest to small kids. And, almost every weekend the local dive shops use the springs for their open water certifications. Overall an enjoyable visit.
The Meadows Center Aquarena Springs was enjoyed by our church children's group. All the kids ages 3-12 found ithe glass bottom boats interesting and had a really good time. The boat tours are about 30 minutes and there is a short trail around the edge of the lake.
A good place for a sudden lil trip. Loved it. A enjoyable boat ride.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$6–10
Enjoyed spending time in this peaceful, natural environment. Brought back memories from my childhood and I loved sharing with my family. It's not only fun for children to see the fish, turtles, plants and ect...under the water, it's fun for adults!
