Thank you for visiting our Magical Mermaids
Each year, story-loving Mermaids make a special visit to Newport Aquarium. They have splashed through oceans near and far, collecting tales from coral reefs, kelp forests, and hidden coves along the way. While they’re here, they share where they’re from and swim underwater with our incredible tropical fish. During these magical experiences, guests have been known to get waves, a wink, and even a giggle-worthy fishy fact!
Mermaid encounters are FREE with your admission ticket or Membership. Stay tuned for more information and 2027 dates so you don’t miss a splash!
