Florida Legoland Could Include Aquarium Attraction

Would an aquarium made of Lego blocks hold water? Mark Jackson thinks it could be so.

A Sea Life aquarium could eventually be part of the final package as Legoland comes to Central Florida according to Jackson, director of tourism and sports marketing for the Central Florida Visitors and Convention Bureau.

The second phase of Legoland construction “possibly, if you look at the California model, (could include) a Sea Life aquarium (and) definitely a resort destination hotel,” he said Friday at a meeting of the Haines City Chamber of Commerce. Merlin Entertainment, the company which will build Polk’s Legoland’s park, also owns Sea Life aquarium centers, more than 30 around the world, including one in California at the Legoland park there. Company officials told Jackson a Polk Sea Life aquarium is a possibility.

There are two Sea Life attractions currently in the United States, one adjacent to the California Legoland attraction and a second stand-alone attraction in Arizona. The California location opened in August of 2008, and was the first one to be built in this country.
