Young children will particularly enjoy riding the miniature choo-choo train in DUPLO Playtown.

You can surf the waves in the Lego Wave Pool, float down the Build-A-Raft lazy river or even spend the afternoon having fun in the multilevel, interactive Joker Soaker water playground and get soaked by its giant 300-gallon bucket of water.  

Explore at Sea Life Legoland Aquarium 

Kids can get up close and personal with their favourite marine animals in Sea Life–designed to educate children about ocean and marine conservation through creative storytelling and interactive exhibits.
