I am receiving e-mails and tweets daily from moms asking about the new attraction.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a summary of what we know so far about Legoland Florida:</p>
<p><strong>Where will Legoland Florida be located?</strong> The Legoland park will be in Winter Haven, Florida, on the site of the historic Cypress Gardens theme park.</p>
<p><strong>How far will Legoland be from Walt Disney World?</strong> Legoland Florida will be about 35 miles from Walt Disney World. It will take between 45 minutes and an hour to drive from Disney World to Legoland, depending on traffic.</p>
<p><strong>When will Legoland Florida open?</strong> Legoland officials say the new theme park will open by the end of 2011.</p>
<p><strong>How big will Legoland Florida be?</strong> The new Legoland will be built on the 145-acre Cypress Gardens site. It will be the world&#8217;s largest Legoland theme park.</p>
<p><strong>How many attractions will Legoland Florida have?</strong> Legoland officials say there will be 40 to 50 rides, shows and other attractions.</p>
<p><strong>What ages are best to visit Legoland Florida?</strong> Legoland is targeted for families with children between the ages of 2 and 12.</p>
<p><strong>What about the Cypress Gardens attractions?</strong> Legoland Florida will keep and maintain the beautifully landscaped gardens on the site. There is also some talk of maintaining the famous Cypress Garden water-ski shows, albeit with a Lego theme.</p>
<p><strong>Will there be a water park?</strong> The current water park at the Cypress Gardens site will remain. But it won&#8217;t be included with Legoland Florida admission; you will need a separate ticket. Legoland officials say they may re-do the park with a Legoland theme at some point.</p>
<p><strong>How much will Legoland Florida tickets cost?</strong> Admission prices have not been announced for Legoland Florida. It currently costs $67 for a 1-day, adult ticket to Legoland California near San Diego. Admission for children and seniors is $57. Legoland California runs frequent promotions that offer discounted admission to the theme park.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://themeparkmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sea_life_bubble.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-148" title="sea_life_bubble" src="http://themeparkmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sea_life_bubble.jpg" alt="" width="2538" height="1615" /></a></p>
<p>The Gosselin family visited Legoland during last night&#8217;s new episode of &#8220;Jon and Kate Plus 8.&#8221;</p>
<p>The big family rode rides at the park&#8217;s Land of Adventure, and got a sneak peek at the new Sea Life Aquarium.</p>
<p>The aquarium looks wonderful for families. There are lots of easy-to-view areas for little kids, like a clear sting-ray tank that goes all the way to ground level. There are also neat plexiglass &#8220;bubbles&#8221; for kids to climb in, giving the experience that they are inside the aquarium with the marine life.</p>
<p>There are 36 different displays in the aquarium, and many of them include elements made from Legos. Lego divers join the fish in some tanks, and there&#8217;s even a Lego lost city of Atlantis.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the aquarium is closing Nov. 11 &#8211; Dec. 26. The company says the closings are necessary to make some modifications to the new attraction. A new interactive sand castle area is being built, and the audio-visual elements and entrances are being upgraded.
