The Tennessee Aquarium will be swimming in mermaids this weekend.
In addition to preview screenings of “Barbie in a Mermaid Tale,” a new computer-animated DVD movie, the aquarium’s own mermaid will be diving in the Gulf of Mexico exhibit. Guests can pose for photos alongside a life-size Barbie cutout from the movie.
“Barbie in a Mermaid Tale,” the iconic doll’s first ocean-themed movie, explores the underworld water of fictitious Oceana with Barbie and her friends, including a sparkly, pink dolphin.
The first 1,500 children to see the movie receive an activity book featuring tips from The Ocean Project, detailing how to help protect and conserve the ocean and its inhabitants.
Visitors also receive a discount coupon to purchase the DVD when it is released March 22.
