LEGOLAND TICKETS
CARLSBAD, Calif. -- The Lost City of Atlantis was recreated at SEA
LIFE™ Aquarium at Legoland California, unveils to the modern world
with 175,000 gallon ocean display featuring a 10-foot-tall, 1700
pound statue of Poseidon, sea creatures, and a seven foot-long Lego
submarine and diver made of thousands of bricks. More than 72 LEGO
models made of tens of thousands of bricks are being created by
LEGOLAND California’s Master Model Builders specifically for SEA
LIFE.
Senior Curator Chris Spaulding opens this
one-of-a-kind kids' attraction with its 35-foot-long acrylic ocean
tunnel that visitors can walk through. What they discover is the
“lost city” featuring play zones in a child's first aquarium
experience, and the first such offering in the U.S.
A passionate conservationist and campaigner, SEA LIFE works to
increase awareness of the importance of safeguarding the seas and
their inhabitants. Children can learn about the SEA LIFE “Save Our
Seas” (SOS) campaign which educates them on problems facing the
world’s oceans and empowers them to do something to solve them. The
SOS campaign is a growing force in marine conservation, research and
rescue that has achieved great success across Europe.
In May, SEA LIFE launched the SOS poster project, inviting children
ages 4 to 12 to creatively explore their ideas for protecting our
seas and the creatures who live in them. Soon to come, exciting
landmarks in the building process such as filling water into the
Lost City of Atlantis and, of course, seeing the first creatures
enter their new SEA LIFE home. Check the Web site for information
and images. A special preview center and the Ocean Journey Café are
scheduled to open July 1 to give eager guests a taste of the SEA
LIFE experience.
SEA LIFE Aquarium at LEGOLAND California Resort will be the 29th SEA
LIFE Center to open in the world. As of its opening in August, SEA
LIFE Centers around the world operate in nine countries on two
continents, bringing visitors nose-to-nose with a wide range of sea
creatures.
