Mermaids are Real and Visiting Newport Aquarium

This is not a drill! Real-life mermaids will be visiting the Newport Aquarium starting this weekend!

On Saturday, May 25, the mermaids will be visiting the aquarium’s Mermaid Cove for the first time to play with stingrays and swim through the Coral Reef Tunnel.

The mermaids are bringing plenty of bubble kisses, waves and tail flips to celebrate the aquarium’s 25th anniversary.
