Play and learn! SEA LIFE Nagoya, an aquarium surrounded by LEGO blocks

2018年4月にレゴランド・リゾート・ジャパンに新しい施設として加わった水族館「シーライフ名古屋」。

SEA LIFE opened in Scotland in 1979. It is the world's largest aquarium brand in more than 50 countries around the world. "SEA LIFE Nagoya" was created under the theme that children are naturally interested in the sea, and visitors can enjoy the collaboration of sea creatures and Lego. It's an aquarium where you can “see, touch, and learn” mainly targeting for children aged 5 to 12.

What kind of aquarium is it? Let's go now!

場所は、「レゴランド・ジャパン」の目の前！所要時間は1時間ほどなので、レゴランドと同日に楽しむことも可能ですよ。

Become a Junior Ranger and explore the world of the sea!
"Ranger Mission Pack"

シーライフ名古屋をより楽しむなら、「レンジャーミッションパック（￥700）」を購入するのがおすすめ！

Enclosed in the pack are an activity notebook, pencil, size chart, and a magnifying glass. These tools will be used to complete the missions.

館内では、約150種・3,500匹以上の生き物が飼育されています。

All of the aquarium exhibits with the theme of "see, touch, and learn" are full of ideas for learning. In addition, staff members called "SEA LIFE Rangers" will provide explanations, so you can learn in more detail.

The Kiso River, an area unique to Aichi

The museum is divided into 11 areas with different themes. We will pick up a few and introduce them here.

First, head to the Kiso River, an area unique to Aichi that is inspired by the clear waters of the Kiso River. The cherry blossom-themed exhibition is an area that can only be found in Japan.

We soon found the mission!

The triangular mark is a mark for close observation. Let's observe using the magnifying glass in the pack. After observing, check the Activity Note.

Let's touch the creatures! "The Rockpools"

Next is the "Rockpools".

In this area, you can actually touch starfish and sea anemones.

We found another mission here!

"Let's check the leg of a starfish"

Which do you all think are the legs of a starfish?

The starfish turned inside out at nice timing.

Actually, the long, white things on the back of the starfish are its legs! They use these legs to cling to slippery rocks and grab food.

These detailed explanations are carefully explained by the SEA LIFE Rangers.

Let's explore as if we were diving underwater "Minato"

Next is the "Minato" area, where the creatures that live under the harbor bridge are on display.

SEA LIFE's aquarium is designed to be easy to see from a low position, in line with children's eye level. This allows observation from various angles.

Let's dive through the tunnel "Sea of Coral Reefs"

"Coral reef sea" where you can see fish living in coral reefs. There are many colorful creatures such as clownfish, sea anemones, and puffer fish.

There is an aquarium tunnel in this area. Kids will definitely enjoy it! Feel like you're diving in the ocean and explore underwater.

"Stingray Bay" to learn about stingray ecology

Stingray Bay is a tropical sea where various kinds of rays live.

There is also a space where you can sit and observe the stingrays at your leisure. It is just in the middle of the course, so take a breather and observe the stingrays at a leisurely pace.

There are other exciting areas such as "Jellyfish Sea" and "Sunken Ship".

There are also very realistic photo spots!

Feel like Urashima Taro and go to the world of the sea "Ryugu Castle"

Next is "Ryugu Castle".

It is the largest aquarium tunnel in SEA LIFE Nagoya. You can meet large creatures such as sharks and sea turtles. It is a very relaxing space.

竜宮城ということで、浦島太郎の像も！

"Amazing creation" where creatures drawn by yourself start swimming

"Amazing Creation" is very popular with children.

Choose your favorite creature, color it freely, and it will start swimming in the screen in front of you.

You can even feed the creatures on the screen!

Shopping at the gift store!

Finally, shopping at the gift store! There are also items that you can only get at SEA LIFE, not at Legoland. (It is also possible to use only the gift shop)

If you look closely at the display, you will see plastic bottle lids! The store is designed to resemble drifted objects from the ocean. It is a good opportunity to think about the environmental problems of the sea.

This time we introduced "SEA LIFE Nagoya". It is an aquarium that is different from other aquariums, where you can truly "see, touch, and learn".

Please visit together with "LEGOLAND Japan" and "LEGOLAND Japan Hotel"!
