Lil’ Scupper’s Kids Club: Another Fin-Tastic Mermaid Adventure

September 17, 2026 at 11:00 AM

The National Museum of the Great Lakes invites families to join them on September 17 @ 11 AM for a fin-tastic morning in partnership with the Frogtown Players, a Northwest Ohio educational theatre company dedicated to inspiring young audiences through storytelling and live performance.

Do you believe in mermaids? Meet Tallulah — the Mermaid of the Great Lakes! Tallulah steps into her official role as the Great Lakes’ first official mermaid, rescuing children from rough waters and teaching young readers how to keep the shores clean and safe. Together, we’ll enjoy a lively read-aloud of Tallulah the Mermaid and the Great Lakes Pledge by Denise Brennan-Nelson, followed by a hands-on craft.

Lil’ Scupper’s Kids Club programs are designed especially for children ages 0–6, but all ages are welcome. This event is included with regular museum admission. Registration required. National Museum of the Great Lakes members and Museums for All participants (families receiving SNAP benefits) receive free admission.
