Mermaids Splash Into Audubon Aquarium

The magic and beauty of mermaids is returning to Audubon Aquarium.  The Wands & Wishes mermaids splash into the downtown attraction for 12 days of appearances starting this weekend.

In addition to watching the mermaids as they swim amid the colorful fish and rays in the Great Maya Reef exhibit at Audubon Aquarium, there are opportunities to meet the mermaids in person and take photos with them when they are on dry land.

Mermaids will be at the Aquarium Thursday – Sunday on these dates and times:

·       November   6 – 9, 2025        10:30 AM – 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM 

·       November  13 – 16, 2025     10:30 AM – 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM 

·       November  20 – 23, 2025     10:30 AM – 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM 

Each mermaid has her own unique conservation message that is near and dear to her and will engage with guests about the importance of ocean conservation. In water or on dry land, Wands & Wishes Mermaids represent the connection of humans to the sea. They are committed to delivering a realistic, memorable mermaid experience for guests of all ages to enjoy. Ocean conservation, marine animal protection and education are close their hearts and they incorporate educational information into each magical visit.

Watching the mermaids glide beneath the waters of the Great Maya Reef is a memorable and breathtaking experience for all ages and is included with Aquarium admission. Audubon Aquarium is open from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. daily.

This year, guests can also enjoy “Tea Under the Sea,” a separately ticketed event that includes a photo with a mermaid, crafts, plus tea sandwiches, mini scones, mini pastries, tea, coffee, mimosas for adults and mermaid punch for the kids. “Tea Under the Sea” is scheduled for Saturdays and Sundays while the mermaids are at Audubon Aquarium and requires Audubon Aquarium admission or Membership.
