7. New Peppa Pig theme park announced for LEGOLAND Florida Resort 

A new theme park based on the world of popular preschool character Peppa Pig has been announced and will open in Florida next year. The park will be operated by Merlin and will be part of the LEGOLAND Florida resort in Winter Haven, but it will be its own park, requiring separate admission. To visit this new park, guests can purchase individual tickets, annual passes or combo passes that include LEGOLAND Florida admission.

The park will be aimed at young children and will feature rides, live shows, character interactions, themed play areas and water-play areas. Specific attraction details are expected to be announced later this year in anticipation of a 2022 debut. Work has already begun on the new theme park, and is visible from the LEGOLAND Florida parking lot.
