I went to Silver Springs when I was the child in question, at the insistence of my father who'd been there last when he was a child, and I did love it. I think I'd enjoy it even more if I were to go back now. Silver Springs is an old and old-fashioned little tourist spot, so it's very laidback and quiet. There were no crowds when we were there. It really won't fly with an adrenalin junkie, there are no rides to speak of, just the glass bottom boat "voyages," which were slow paced. I think we ate a packed lunch at the picnic tables, so I can't comment on the food, and the only thing I remember buying was a pick-a-pearl (which was cheaper than they were at EPCOT).
