Most people have been to an aquarium by the time they're in middle school.
But you've probably never seen an attraction like the one that's soon to be at the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston.
The World-Famous Weeki Wachee Mermaids will entertain guests at the aquarium March 28 through April 3.
Hailing from Spring Hill, Florida, the mermaids swim among hundreds of animals, including fish, manatees and 8-foot-long sharks.
During each show, the mermaids delight guests with a highly technical and choreographed routine to musical numbers.
The mermaids travel nationwide, but they usually perform at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park in Florida.
At the upcoming exhibit at the South Carolina Aquarium, a limited number of guests will be able to experience a special date night event, Mermaids & Me, designed for all ages and featuring an exclusive mermaid performance in the aquarium's Great Ocean Tank. Each attendee will have the opportunity to meet and take a photo with a friendly mermaid on the land.
A mermaid kiss. #mermania
