The Search for Lego® City Deep Sea Explorers Is on at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium This Summer

SEA LIFE London Aquarium

This summer, the BRAND NEW LEGO® City Deep Sea collection will be making a special appearance at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium.

Intrepid adventurers can follow the fun trail with a free Deep Sea Explorer activity pack*, helping to find missing equipment hidden amongst the sharks, starfish and shoals of bright tropical fish. Visitors can search out all of the misplaced underwater kit and record their achievement in their Deep Sea Explorer Log Book.

Families will be able to get 'hands on' with in a LEGO build zone where they can learn about the beautiful creatures around them whilst building models of sea creatures. All creations will be displayed in the SEA LIFE London Aquarium 'Wall of Fame' until the end of the summer holidays, and all guests who complete a model will receive a goody bag.**

There's also an entire marine world to explore at the amazing south bank attraction, including piranha, penguins, rare giant Green Sea turtles, tropical fish, rays, crabs and jellyfish. 

The LEGO® City Deep Sea Experience will be held at all SEA LIFE centres nationwide, with ten selected sites including London hosting the exciting treasure hunt. Retail partner, Toys R Us will be supporting the LEGO City launch on their Facebook page by hosting a competition to win some cool new LEGO City Deep sea sets and an amazing family trip to the Sea Life centre in Sydney, Australia to snorkel with sharks.
