Located on Camden, New Jersey’s waterfront, Adventure Aquarium is home to a number of deep sea creatures. With over two million gallons of water the Adventure Aquarium is home to stingrays, sharks, and even hippos. This year in celebration of their 30th anniversary Adventure Aquarium has just recently welcomed mermaids! Featured in the 550,000 gallon Shark Realm exhibit, mermaids captivate onlookers as they swim elegantly alongside thousands of their sea friends.
Adventure Aquarium is also offering a number of family friendly activities to get up and close with mermaids. Some activities include a one-on-one visit with a mermaid on dry land in the Mermaid Grotto where upon concluding the visit a professional H20 photo taken with a mermaid will be taken allowing for a lifelong memento. Face painting will also be offered to choose between either a mermaid or pirate as you navigate the seven seas. When the tour concludes you will find yourself at the gift shop which will be inundated with mermaid memorabilia from shirts, to mugs and plush dolls. So remember to bring some extra treasure so you can get yourself something nice at the end of your trip. Hurry as they won’t be here for long, visitors have from February 24th through March 13th, for an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the elusive and magical mermaids.
