Newport Aquarium has announced they’ll be adding mermaid magic this summer starting on Memorial Day weekend.
From May 25 through June 23, the mermaid experience will bring bubble kisses and tail flips to Northern Kentucky. As the aquarium celebrates its 25th anniversary year, the mermaids will be swimming and playing with stingrays in Mermaid Cove for the very first time. Visitors will see the mermaids giggle, wave, and flip as they dive into 60,000 gallons of salt water. Some visitors will even receive a magical mermaid bubble kiss.
The magic carries through to Shark Ray Bay Theater, where visitors can meet and talk to a mermaid.
Mermaids at Newport Aquarium runs May 25 to June 23, every day except Tuesdays. The experience is included with general admission or memberships. The aquarium offers plan-ahead pricing, with tickets available at reduced prices when purchased online in advance.
