## About

Mermaid Echo swims with underwater friends in a performance that teaches kids about freshwater and the creatures living in it. Shows are at 11 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 to 1 p.m. Space per performance is extremely limited and seating is first-come, first-served, so arrive early. Included with general admission. The same day Santa reads stories in the theater and the Milwaukee Makers Market holds its holiday market.
