Family travelers with kids who love mermaids probably already know March 29 is National Mermaid Day. Maybe you have travel plans, but, if you don’t, consider these two resorts to celebrate, or keep them on your radar for next year.

 

Atlantis Paradise Island

In the Bahamas, Atlantis Paradise Island offers Atlantis Kids Adventures for guests ages 3–12  year-round, with special on-site programming for National Mermaid Day. All Day Mermaid includes story time, swimming with a mermaid, photos with a mermaid, a mermaid snack, a mermaid glitz and glam makeover and mermaid swag. Or, there is the Ultimate Mermaid experience with a culinary session to create Under the Sea Treats, story time, swimming with a mermaid, lunch, mermaid snacks, painting, a mermaid glitz and glam makeover and mermaid takeaways.
