Gardaland has announced some of the exciting attractions that will feature in its new Lego-themed waterpark – Legoland Water Park Gardaland.

The Lego River Adventure will flow through most of the waterpark, allowing visitors to navigate the park on customisable rafts made by guests out of large, soft, floating Lego bricks.

The river will flow past a series of attractions, including a cave with undersea theming and the Miniland area adorned in iconic Italian monuments made from Lego bricks.

Other notable attractions include the Beach Party children’s play area with colourful slides and water cannons, the Lego Creation island where young guests can have fun building personalised Lego boats, and Duplo Splash where little ones can experience their first water slide.

Legoland Water Park Gardaland will also be home to Jungle Adventure slides, the Pirate Bay swimming pool, the Legoland shop selling all the favourite Lego merchandise and the Harbour Restaurant where guests can refresh themselves for more water-filled fun.

Commenting on the attractions, Luca Marigo, director of sales and marketing at Gardaland, said: “Legoland Water Park Gardaland will have so many attractions that visitors will be thrilled, whether young or old.

“There will also be special themed areas, with lots of colourful water slides for youngsters and kids of all ages, as well as a creative area where children can discover the fun of building with Duplo and Lego bricks, swimming pools equipped with sunbeds, deck chairs and large gazeboes where families can relax.”

Legoland Water Park Gardaland is to open on May 28, 2020.
