- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 09:30 am – Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: It started with a shimmer… then the flick of a tail! Mermaids are making a splash at the South Carolina Aquarium each weekend in February and are filling the waters with waves of fun for all ages. Come face-to-face with these ocean storytellers, blend marine mythology with real conservation through special programming and a scavenger hunt, capture a keepsake at our mermaid photo op and more!

The mermaid fun doesn't stop there! Embark on an adventure with a mermaid in Shimmer and Sparkle: Magical Mermaid Encounter, a small-group experience for children ages 3–12 years old! Young ocean explorers will craft their own mermaid crowns and necklaces, transform into a FINtastic creature with face painting, enjoy a unique photo moment with a mermaid and more. Each day has members-only sessions as well as public sessions; registration is $65 per member child or $80 per non-member child. Each encounter is limited to 15 children (limit of two adults per child) to make this a magical and immersive experience for all. Come make waves, create treasures and leave with a sparkle of your own!

Please note: Magical Mermaid Encounters will take place at the Boeing Learning Lab at the Charleston Maritime Center, and this registration for Shimmer and Sparkle: Magical Mermaid Encounter does not include general admission to the Aquarium.
