Mertailor's Mermaid Aquarium Encounter, 4100 W Gulf to Lake Hwy, Lecanto, FL 34461
At Mertailor's Mermaid Aquarium Encounter in Lecanto, Florida, fantasy and marine life share the same water. Professional mermaids glide through a large reef aquarium while guests watch from just inches away, close enough to see the shimmer of a silicone tail catching the light. Mertailor's Mermaid Aquarium Encounter draws families, ocean enthusiasts, and the simply curious in equal measure.
Pretty cool place to go. They have a wonderful show with mermaids singing and swimming with fish and alot of cool sea animals to look at. Definitely recommend
