Mermaids Splash into Audubon Aquarium

The enchanting beauty of mermaids comes to life at Audubon Aquarium next month as Wands & Wishes mermaids splash into the downtown attraction for 12 days of special appearances.

The mermaids can be seen diving in the Great Maya Reef exhibit at Audubon Aquarium along with stingrays and scores of colorful tropical fish. The mermaids will dive throughout the day and guests will also have a chance to take a photo with a mermaid when they are on dry land!

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

·       November   7-10

·       November 14-17

·        November 21-24

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.

“It is thrilling to watch the mermaids perform at the Aquarium,” said Rich Toth, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Audubon Aquarium. “Their conservation messages are important to share with guests and we hope everyone leaves the Aquarium understanding ways they can help protect the oceans.”

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