The Silver Springs Nature Theme Park is a park in Silver Springs, Florida. It is not really a theme park in the strictest sense of the world, as the name suggests, but more of a nature and zoological park. It is a part of the Silver River State Park and is owned by the state of Florida.

The Silver Springs Nature Theme Park became a tourist attraction in the late 1800s, after the Civil War. Folks began to flock to the site to experience the ?glass bottom boat?, touted to be invented here to provide visitors a spectacular view of the springs. For this, it was included in the many lists and guidebooks made for travelers, making it one of the top spots to see in the state.
