History
On June 30, 2014, Merlin Entertainments announced plans to open a Legoland Resort in Nagoya. Construction officially began on April 15, 2015. On March 27, 2017, a commemorative Legoland-themed train started running on the Nagoya Rinkai Rapid Transit Aonami Line to celebrate the opening of the park. Legoland Japan officially opened on April 1, 2017. The entrance admission is ¥6,900 for adults and ¥5,300 for kids aged 3–12. Many news sources commented on the ticket prices, which are comparable to Tokyo Disneyland's ticket prices despite the Legoland park being considerably smaller. Merlin Entertainments plans to build a Legoland Hotel and a Sea Life aquarium next to the park in 2018 to help turn the area into a resort, which is expected to cost 10 billion yen.On February 28, 2020, the park was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The park reopened on March 23, 2020 with short business hours, staff wearing masks, and temperature checks.
