Mermaids are back at Sea Life Orlando Aquarium, both in and out of the water at the International Drive attraction.
The characters dive into the ocean habitat on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 30. They join sea turtles, rays and sharks in the water in several shifts: 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., 2-4 p.m. and 5-6:30 p.m.
There are dry land meet and greets with the mermaids 11:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. inside the Icon Park attraction.
Visitors who come dressed as a mermaid have a chance to receive a special mermaid themed prize, Sea Life says.
The mermaid interactions are included with regular admission to the aquarium.
