-"Outdoorsy" Activities-

Silver Springs State Park

Silver Springs is a famous destination in Florida. Known for their glass-bottom boat tours, pristine clear waters, manatees, monkeys, Hollywood history, and underwater statues, this is a neat outdoorsy activity. The springs do have cooler water so for March or early April, this "dry" approach might be the way to go.

Wekiwa Springs State Park

If you're looking for a "true" Florida experience, Wekiwa Springs are the closest to where the wedding is located. The springs do run chilly with average temperatures of 70-72 degrees, but they're great to float down in tubes, kayaks, or even with a snorkel!
