Through the rainbow tunnel, from Neverland
Neverland Mermaids for Birthday Parties in Orange County
Invite a real mermaid to your next celebration. Our rainbow pastel Neverland Mermaids swam here through the rainbow tunnel to learn and play with human children, and for one hour she is yours: on land in her walking tail, or in the water in a tail she can truly swim in, running the games, the stories and the birthday moment while you watch.
Additional time is available and prorated at the same hourly rate.
Not a costume. A mermaid.
Invite a real mermaid.
One hour, start to finish, run entirely by her. You are never gathering the children, filling a silence or working out what comes after the cake.
✦ In Neverland she works in the Jellyfish Salon and helps the pirates keep the treasure hidden. On Saturday she is in your backyard. ✧
She arrives already in tail. The birthday child is greeted first, and by name.
Stories from above and below the water, with parts for the children to play.
Sea songs led by someone who can actually sing them.
Mermaid glitter makeup and face gems. Temporary tattoos on request.
Character-led games woven through the hour, so there is never a flat stretch.
The birthday child, the family and every guest who wants one.
She leads the birthday moment, so the candles are lit inside the story.
The one we would book
Bring the Traveling Salon with her.
A mermaid at your party is lovely. A mermaid at your party who turns every child into a mermaid is a different event entirely. Our illuminated styling stations travel with her, and each guest gets the full transformation: colour, braids, shimmer and the reveal. It is the closest thing to bringing our Balboa Island venue to your front door, and with this character it is the pairing we recommend above every other add-on.
Turn the whole party into mermaids
Tails for every child.
Only available with a Neverland Mermaid, because they are our tails.
She brings tails for the whole party, and every child gets in the water as a mermaid. Rented for the visit and returned at the end, so there is nothing for you to buy, wash or store.
Our exclusive three-piece dress-up tail and top, and every child takes theirs home. $10 below our in-store retail price, available only when booked with a Neverland Mermaid.
You may have met her already
She lives on Balboa Island now.
Most days of the week she is in our lagoon on Balboa Island, which is where a great many Orange County children meet their first mermaid. Her tail is mended in the same room it was made in. It also means the mermaid who arrives at your party does this every week, and has since our first summer, rather than once in a while for a booking.
✦ When she knocks on your door she is not being sent to you. She is coming from home. ✧
Make the hour bigger
More add-ons for this visit.
The full transformation, brought to you. Our illuminated styling stations arrive with your mermaid and every child gets the salon experience: the colour, the braids, the shimmer, the whole thing. This is the pairing we recommend above every other add-on.
A real crystal tiara, presented in a royal crowning ceremony. It is the photograph most parents frame.
For up to 12 children. She brings miniature porcelain tea cups and sets a proper little tea party, picnic-style or poolside. Beverages are provided by the family.
A build-and-stuff experience where every child creates their own sea friend, with help from their mermaid.
