The magic returns to Newport Aquarium from May 23th – June 21th! Our story-loving Mermaids have traveled from hidden coves and coral reefs to share their favorite tales with you.
What’s waiting for you below the surface:
🧜♀️ Mermaid Cove: Watch a Mermaid swim side-by-side with her stingray besties (and maybe even pet a stingray while she says hello!).
🌊 Underwater Fairytale: See them twirl, flip, and blow "bubbly smooches" through the glass.
📸Meet Your New BFF: Head to Shark Ray Bay Theater for up-close photo ops and meet-and-greets!
Best of all? Mermaid encounters are FREE with your admission or Membership!
