MERMAID SIGHTING AT DOWNTOWN AQUARIUM DENVER
July 20, 2010
Meet the Lovely Mystic Mermaids of Downtown Aquarium Denver July 21
Downtown Aquarium Denver introduces the beautiful Mystic Mermaids Wednesday, July 21 at 10 a.m.
Media are welcome for interviews, photos and an opportunity to swim with the mermaids!
The Mystic Mermaids will perform at Downtown Aquarium from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day through August 22. Their family-friendly,
interactive show will be choreographed to under-the-sea themed music
and will also feature a narrated, conservation-focused segment.
“We’re celebrating Downtown Aquarium’s 5th anniversary this year, and
what better way to commemorate the occasion than to introduce a
one-of-a-kind experience like Mystic Mermaids for our local families
and visitors to enjoy,” said Scot Hulgan, Downtown Aquarium general
manager.
In addition to enjoying the regular performances, guests can book
opportunities to swim with the mermaids, schedule a mermaid birthday
appearance, take photos with the mermaids, purchase autographed mermaid
photos and register for mermaid swim camp. Mermaid-themed toys will
also be available for purchase at the Gift Shop.
Mystic Mermaid auditions were challenging since the ladies not only had
to demonstrate strong swimming skills, they also had to be comfortable
in a tank with a 500 lb grouper, sting rays, eels and sea turtles.
“The schools of fish are easy to swim with because they move out of our
path or swim below or above us, but the sea turtles are very curious
and like to be by the girls or swim right into our path,” said Mermaid
Kaya.“Our sea turtle Rafael loves to swim right into a mermaid while
she’s resting on a rock!”
"Denver families and visitors will really enjoy the new Mystic
Mermaids,” said Ken Yates, Animal Husbandry Manager, “They put on a
magical and interactive live show for people of all ages and they are a
natural fit for Downtown Aquarium.”
Admission is $15.99 for adults, $14.99 for seniors and $9.99 for children ages 3 to 11.
