Levy Blue Spring (Bronson Blue)

Looking for great Florida springs for kids? You are in luck! There are numerous springs that are good for kids. Not all springs are good for younger kids, in my opinion, because many of them are all deep water (like Rainbow Springs). There are springs that offer shallow areas that are perfect for kids. In order to make my list of great Florida springs for kids there has to be areas that are more shallow if swimming is allowed, so that kids can enjoy their time, too. All deep water isn't ideal for taking kids to, so while those springs are great for teens and adults, they don't make this list. For those who are teens and adults, use the main Florida Springs Guide to find places to check out.

Great Florida Springs for Kids

• Alexander Springs in Altoona - Alexander is one of the best springs for kids, because a lot of it is shallow. The spring is deeper over the spring vent, so kids and adults can enjoy this spring. It's great for snorkeling, diving, kayaking, hiking, and tent camping. 
• DeLeon Springs State Park in DeLeon Springs - DeLeon has a designated area for kids that is shallow. This is a spring that is enclosed like a swimming pool, so you don't see a lot if you are snorkeling. It's still a fun family time. There's also kayaking, an eco-boat tour, and a make-your-own pancake restaurant on site. There's also a great old tree you can take a short walk to see.
