Mermaids are Returning to Mystic Aquarium
Mermaids are returning to Mystic Aquarium! Experience an aquatic adventure like never before when you come face-to-face with real mermaids! The mermaids will dazzle with their interactive underwater performances, inspiring imagination in guests of all ages!
Encounter an aquatic wonder like never before! Seeing a real mermaid can be a dream come true for many children (and adults)! For two long weekends at the end of September, discover the magic of mermaids as they swirl through the waters of our Caribbean Reef habitat.*
Visitors are encouraged to embrace the underwater adventure and dress in your favorite aquatic-themed costume – from mermaids to pirates to sea animals and anything else you can dream up. The brighter, the better – bright colors will draw the attention of the diving mermaids for a more interactive experience.
For an even more magical experience, you will have the opportunity to meet a mermaid on dry land!*
