Growing up here in the Summers we would visit the fish bowl often. This photo is myself with gentle Ben who used to spend Summers at Homosassa springs State Park when he was not filming. I believe this was in 1967.

Park Visitor: Comments, Memories and Reviews
February 12 Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park by Sue W.
I enjoyed seeing the manatees. There were many different spots to observe them. There was a presentation about opossums which was very interesting. Watching the hippopotamus Lu eat was pretty cool. The employees were friendly knowledgeable.I was there from Noon to 5 pm. After that than I went parked in the overflow parking lot had a nice picnic lunch. I wish I could have went on the boat tour but it was closed for the day due to high water. I would highly recommend going here. It was a pretty cool place. It was $13 for adults.
January 16 What a disappointment!
We had gone to this park before and truly enjoyed the manatee program. Not so now. No longer were manatees available to be seen through the underwater viewing windows. No longer was there the interactive feeding of the manatees during the program. The manatees were only able to be seen in a small, cramped, dirty enclosure where they could barely be discerned. We had out of state visitors and all were terribly disappointed. We would no longer recommend this to visitors.
