ORLANDO, Fla. — SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium will be bringing back several of its interactive events in May, including the return of its “Meet a Mermaid” experience, officials announced Monday.

Guests can watch “real-life” mermaids as they swim alongside sharks, stingrays, sea turtles and other sea creatures in a series of underwater shows on select dates from May 2 to 26, including Memorial Day.

The aquarium is also featuring meet-and-greets and a new educational adventure designed to teach families about marine life and conservation, officials said.

Guests can also discover how creatures like manatees, dolphins and sharks have inspired mermaid legends with the aquarium’s series of interactive education stations called “Tails of the Ocean.” Officials said the initiative combines storytelling with science to spark curiosity about marine life and conservation. Families can earn collectible stickers at each stop and redeem them for mermaid treasure in the aquarium’s retail store.

“Our mermaid dive shows and meet-and-greets are a beloved tradition, and this year we’re making a splash by adding a meaningful educational element,” said Michelle Daniels, SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium’s Head of Marketing, in a statement. “It’s a chance for families to connect with the wonders of the sea, have fun, and maybe even walk away with a new appreciation for the ocean and the animals who call it home.”

Mermaid performances will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., 2 to 4 p.m. and 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Atlantic Ocean habitat inside the attraction. Dry-land mermaid meet-and-greets will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Tickets start at $29.99. Get more information on SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium’s website.
