Professional Mermaids for Aquarium Entertainment

Professional Mermaid Lily la Mer performs live at Blue Planet Aquarium UK.

Do you want to attract crowds of adults and children to your aquarium?

Or are you hosting a special event at your aquarium and need something to really make a splash?

What you need is a highly skilled professional mermaid!

Why have a Mermaid at your Aquarium?

Extra guest footfall - make the most of peak season or improve the quiet season with boosted attendance
Press coverage both online and in print
Social media attention leading to more guests, social media fans and more hits on your main website
Improve your market standing among your competitors
Stand out from the crowd as the best in marine entertainment

Use a professional mermaid to make your aquarium stand out from other attractions and draw in crowds of enthusiastic guests. Having a special mermaid event is guaranteed to attract extra footfall, press coverage and social media attention for your aquarium. There's no better advertising campaign to make your aquarium stand out as a world leader in marine entertainment.

The crowds will come swarming once they can come to see a real mermaid swimming in your aquarium. You can choose to have your mermaid swimming in with marine animals (sharks are especially popular for press coverage!), in a separate tank of her own, in a land based mermaid grotto or any combination of these over the course of the day. Customise your mermaid day to have a mix of underwater performance and meet and greet on land so that guests can get their photo taken with a real mermaid. Make sure your aquarium logo is nearby so that their online network will know where the photos were taken!

What if I want multiple mermaids?

That's no problem! Just let us know your requirements and we can give you a team of highly trained mermaids with underwater modelling and performance experience. If you need a really large show then please make sure you give plenty of advance notice!

Be careful! The mermaid industry is full of girls in tails claiming to be professional mermaids. That's absolutely fine for a kids party but you should be very careful to make sure that the mermaid you hire for your aquarium is safe and has proper diving credentials. Diving in an aquarium, especially with marine animals and especially live for the public, is not the same as playing with kids in a swimming pool. Protect yourself and your business by taking proper precautions. The press and social media coverage generated by your mermaid day will backfire if something goes wrong.
