Get ready to dive into adventure! There’s a brand-new world waiting to be explored at SEA LIFE Florida in Winter Haven—and it’s all underwater!

SEA LIFE Florida Opens at LEGOLAND Florida Resort

SEA LIFE Florida, the latest addition to LEGOLAND® Florida Resort, is officially open, welcoming guests to a one-of-a-kind, kid-friendly aquarium designed to spark curiosity, adventure, and a deep appreciation for the ocean. Located just steps from the entrance to LEGOLAND Florida, this immersive attraction is the first “theme park under the sea,” featuring interactive exhibits, colorful sea creatures, and plenty of surprises around every corner.

What to Expect at SEA LIFE Florida

Inside the new aquarium, visitors can explore a vibrant underwater world filled with more than 150 species and 3,000 sea creatures—from majestic stingrays and playful pufferfish to mesmerizing jellyfish and curious sharks.

One of the main highlights is a 180-degree ocean tunnel that lets little explorers come eye-to-eye with sharks and rays as they glide overhead. It’s an unforgettable, up-close experience that’s equal parts magical and educational.

But this isn’t just an aquarium—it’s an imaginative underwater journey! Kids can follow sea creatures through a castle, past a haunted house, and even onto a clam-shaped Ferris wheel. Every detail is thoughtfully designed with animal well-being and interactive learning in mind, making this a must-visit for families with children ages 2 to 12.

More Than Just Fun—A Mission With Meaning

SEA LIFE Florida is more than a beautiful place to visit—it’s a launchpad for future ocean advocates. Through playful storytelling and immersive experiences, young guests are encouraged to connect with marine life and understand the importance of ocean conservation.

Throughout the aquarium, interactive exhibits and conservation touchpoints share real-world tips on how visitors can make a difference.
