1800 Wekiwa Cir, Apopka, FL , 32712 Phone: 407-553-4383 Website Wekiwa Springs State Park is a 7,000-acre Florida State Park in Apopka, Florida. It is located 20 minutes north of Orlando, off Interstate 4 at exit 94, near Altamonte Springs and Longwood. The park also contains the head water of the Wekiva River. It also serves as the headquarters of one of the state's five AmeriCorps Florida State Parks chapters.
Although the springs are spelled Wekiwa Springs, the river and most subdivisions and streets in Seminole County use the Wekiva spelling. Wekiwa is the Creek word for a spring, but contrary to popular belief that Wekiva means "flowing water", it was actually an alternate spelling used by developers.
Car admission is $6.
The machine is located under the roof of the nature center, at the top of the hill, overlooking the headland of the spring. All have 'Wekiwa Springs State Park' on them. Designs are:
1) Alligator,
2) Bear,
3) Raccoon,
4) Tortoise.
