"Tail Mail"

The World Famous Weeki Wachee Mermaids want to hear from you! In an effort to promote education, the mermaids are answering letters from all students under the age of 17. This will encourage literacy, and is a great way for your child to practice their best penmanship. Have your child hand write a letter to their favorite mermaid (or Prince), asking anything about the environment they swim in or anything else mermaid related. A list of our current mermaids can be found by clicking mermaids, then mermaid roster. Each child will receive an autographed picture of their favorite mermaid. The mermaids will read each letter and the videoed response will get posted on our Facebook fan page, Twitter page and YouTube channel, so don't forget to click the icons on our web site and become a fan today to see the latest images and news coming from the park. Feel free to have your child include any drawings they may want to include. Please do not choose more than one mermaid or Prince to write to.

Your child may already have a favorite mermaid or they can choose one from our web site by going under mermaids and clicking the mermaid roster. Just make sure to include:

1. Name of the child
2. Age of the child
3. email address or phone in the event we need to contact you.

All letters can be sent to:

Weeki Wachee Springs State Park

Attn: “Tail Mail”

6131 Commercial Way

Weeki Wachee, FL 34606

We look forward to your letters!
