Visitors to Ocala hotels should definitely take the time to visit Silver Springs, Nature's Theme Park, 90 miles north of Orlando. Consisting of 350 acres surrounding the headwaters of Silver River, the largest artesian spring formation in the world, the park offers guests of nearby hotels in Ocala the opportunity to take out glass bottom boats and view the turtles, shellfish, alligators, and underground springs. The pure waters are up to 80 feet deep. Adventurists will enjoy the many thrill rides and exhibits, while kids can get a hands-on experience at the petting zoo. Nature lovers can take walks to observe the natural habitats of endangered bears, panthers, and Florida's largest alligators, finishing off with wildlife shows that include snakes, other reptiles, and birds of prey.
