You want wide eyes. Happy tears. A moment when your child whispers, “I think she’s real.” You’re not just throwing a party—you’re creating a memory.
Mermaid School brings imagination, connection and joy to life—right at the pool! With over 5,500 events and more than a decade of experience, we’ve perfected the art of magical moments. We’ll bring the sparkle, the songs, and a mermaid your child will never forget.

Meet Paulette’s Princess Parties
We don’t play pretend—we live it.
Founded by a professional ballerina and fueled by a team of trained, song-and-dance performers, our mission is to create inclusive, joy-filled moments where every child feels like the star of their own story.
We’re autism-certified, sensory-aware, and committed to bringing the magic to every child—no matter their needs or comfort level. Mermaid School is just one of the ways we turn fairytales into real-life memories.

Mermaid Party Frequently Asked Questions
What ages is Mermaid School for?
Most mermaids-in-training are 4–9, but we’re happy to tailor the experience for younger swimmers or older dreamers.
Will the mermaid actually swim?
Yes! If your setup allows, our mermaids swim, play, and even perform in the water. Not pool-ready? No worries—she can lead fun from up above, too.
What if my child is shy or has sensory sensitivities?
That’s our specialty. We’re autism-certified and all our performers are trained to read the room and adjust. Just give us a heads-up—we’ll take care of the rest.
