Default Day trips ...

De Leon Springs State Park (a little over an hour east): Old Sugar Mill converted into a make-your-own pancakes restaurant, beautiful park, small museum, swimming hole, boat tours.

Homosassa Springs State Park (equal distance to the west): Fomerly a privately owned small zoo in a stunning setting, now a state park. Boat ride from the visitor center to the park itself. Manatee and other shows.

Suggest either of these but only on a weekday; weekends tend to be crowded.

Also agree with the Tarpon Springs suggestion.
