“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 €20m, Legoland Water Park at Gardaland will open in June 2020, covering an area of 15,000sq.m to the joy of countless young families, both Italian and from abroad," said Aldo Maria Vigevani, CEO of Gardaland. 

The new area will arrive in 2020 near Peppa Pig Land and Fantasy Kingdom. “It will be a fantastic water park, constructed with millions of colourful Lego bricks, where children over two years old can have fun with 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 Luca Marigo, sales and marketing director of Gardaland.
