These glass bottom boats have been around for many years and they are still in service and available to people who visit the Silver Springs State Park. The first shot shows the landing, loading and debarking area. The other two boats are moving in a circular motion above the head of the springs, where hundreds of thousands of gallons of 99% plus pure water pours out every day.
It is in this area that you can see artifacts used in the "I Spy" TV series still in place on the bottom of the river.

Another blogger I follow has camped in this area, and featured these boats. A good leftover from the place's old days.
I remember going for rides on these boats when I was a kid. I wouldn't mind going back!
A glass bottom boat would be interesting to step in to. I Spy, that's a blast from the past.
Well, hey, I wanted to see through the glass bottom!
Whatever floats your boat, I guess....;-)
It must be lovely to travel in a glass bottomed boat!
I would definitely take a tour if I was near.
I always remember how clear the water is at Silver Springs.
I remember these from my childhood, and that was a long time ago. Lovely shots of these historic boats. I do remember the "I Spy" series also.
Dear Lowell - Wonderful photos of the Glass Bottom Boats and reflections. I see people watching the bottom of the boat in the B&W photo.

When you say "many years", you aren't just kidding. I remember doing this as a child and that was without a doubt, many years ago.
I would hop aboard for sure Lowell! Looks like this cruise has a good crowd having fun .
Loved the last pic the best!
It's such a treat to take a ride on one of those!
I like these "old Florida" attractions....and would certainly try this just for fun.
