Wekiwa Springs State Park now requires reservations for day-use entry. All day-use park guests, including annual passholders, must have a reservation for entry to the park.   

Why did Florida State Parks implement this reservation program?  

The switch to a reservation program is intended to reduce entrance lines at Wekiwa Springs State Park that currently stretch into traffic, causing significant disruptions and long wait times for visitors trying to enter the park. 

Which parks are using day-use reservations?  

Day-use reservations are currently only required at Wekiwa Springs State Park. 

When can I make a day-use reservation?  

Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance. Same-day reservations may be made until the reservation limit has been met.  

How do I get a day-use reservation?  

To obtain a park reservation, visit the park’s reservation site. A separate reservation must be made for each day. The park entry fee will be collected online at the time of reservation. There is no additional fee to make a day-use reservation.

How do you determine the number of reservations available each day? 

The number of available reservations is based on the maximum number of visitors the park can accommodate.  

What do I need to present to get into the park? 

Visitors will need proof of their reservation receipt, either digital or in print. Annual passholders will need both their reservation receipt and their annual pass. Guests who have reserved services through a concessionaire will need to present confirmation of their purchase. Camping guests need only their camping reservation information. 

Is there any way to enter without a reservation?  

Visitors must have a day-use reservation, a camping reservation or a concession reservation to enter the park. 

If I leave the park, am I able to re-enter with the same reservation?  

If you would like to reenter the park during your reservation, you must ask for a reentry ticket from the ranger station before exiting the park. Without this reentry ticket, reentry is not allowed.  

If I miss my day-use reservation, can I get a refund?  

The day-use entry fee is refundable if the reservation is canceled. No-shows are non-refundable.  

As a camper, is anything changing about my entry process?  

For camping guests, the entry process will remain the same as before.  

If I reserve a pavilion, can I make reservations for the guests of my event?  

You may pay for the reservations of others in conjunction with a pavilion rental. Please contact the park for more information on how to coordinate reservations for your event. 

What if I just want to enter the park to purchase an annual pass in-person? 

All forms of annual passes can be obtained at the Ranger Station at any time during regular park hours without a reservation.
