SEALIFE Legoland Florida aquarium
Our team are now back home having successfully delivered the SEALIFE Legoland Florida Aquarium
Throughout last year our dedicated team of technicians worked tirelessly to produce the exciting aquarium displays for the latest addition to the SEALIFE estate, this time in Florida. The Legoland site located in Winterhaven, Florida has been expanded to include a brand new SEALIFE aquarium complex. The SEALIFE aquarium opened last week and is being hailed as ‘a theme park under the sea’ more details can be found here
We have been building high quality aquariums for the hugely successful SEALIFE chain since 1989, so as a trusted partner we were well placed to deliver their latest and most adventurous SEALIFE project. As part of the team ATL designed and fabricated the entire series of stunning aquariums ranging from seamlessly linked freshwater tanks, large sectional harbour tank, rockpools, seahorse shallow seas, coral reef and a wall filling jellyfish display. The majority of these tanks were with fabricated completely at ATL’s factory.

A bespoke flatfish and ray tank was designed and delivered to site in sections and assembled in situ due to its complexity and size. This tank offers an innovative range of underwater viewing panels offering various viewing potential.

ATL’s GRP composite waterproof coating was applied to the deep water concrete tank structure. The ocean tank was then furnished with an array of underwater viewing options including large theatre windows, hemispheres, vertical cylinders and two walk through acrylic tunnels.

As well as building stunning naturalistic coral reef back drops the ATL team were instrumental in producing the variety of artificial features. Wow – the Merlin Entertainments creatives really did go to town on this one and presented ATL with the challenge to deliver it for them. This signifies that the SEALIFE Legoland Florida aquarium tanks are amongst our most adventurous tank theming projects to date. It is the pinnacle of the ‘theme park under the sea’ theme bringing together a culmination of features such as a roller coaster, haunted house including grave stones and even a ferris wheel.
