LEGOLAND Water Park begins construction in Italy

Construction started today on the first stand-alone LEGOLAND Water Park in Verona, Italy.

Announced in July, today saw the first brick laid as construction began on a new LEGOLAND Water Park in Verona, Italy, that will bring a new option to the Gardaland resort. Gardaland CEO Aldo Maria Vigevani, Sales and Marketing Director Luca Marigo and mascot Prezzemolo attended the ceremony to mark the occasion and reveal more about the new park.

“This is an important day because we are starting to lay the foundations of a project that has been underway for three years already. With an estimated investment sum of €20 million, LEGOLAND Water Park at Gardaland will open in June 2020, covering an area of 15,000 square metres to the joy of countless young families, both Italian and from abroad,” said Vigevani.

The 15,000 square metre water park is aimed at families with children aged two to twelve, and will include slides, pools, rafts, and a water play complex featuring LEGO brands, as well as Italy’s very own Miniland.

“It will be a fantastic water park, constructed with millions of colourful LEGO bricks, where children over 2 years old can have fun, unique LEGO building experiences and interactive games, while parents can relax in the luscious green nature. Thanks to this great new addition to the park, there will be even more ways to have fun, making Gardaland the perfect destination for families of all ages, where they can enjoy days packed with even more adventure, magic and fantasy,” said Marigo.
