The 25,000-square foot aquarium will be home to more than 3,000 creatures, with approximately 75 to 100 different species of fish and invertebrates from local and international waters.
Through more than ten interactive exhibits, visitors will experience the creatures of the rock pool that are the "Athletes of the Shores," the seahorses that are the "Ballet Dancers of the Ocean," the piranhas that are the "Wall Street Wolves" and the jellies that are the "Disco DJs of the Deep."
The attraction will also offer talks and events, feeding demonstrations, and more, allowing guests to interact directly with some of the creatures
The American Dream aquarium will be Merlin's 10th SEA LIFE in the U.S. and first in the northeast. For information on tickets, annual passes, birthday party packages, and school and group tickets, click here.
The LEGOLAND Discover Center, according to Merlin, will be "the ultimate indoor playground for families with children ages 3-10" and include several LEGO play areas, such as a brick pool, train ride, 4D cinema, party rooms, a café, retail shops and a workshop class with a LEGO master model builder.
Merlin is also slated to open LEGOLAND New York in Goshen, NY - which is about 30 miles from the New Jersey border - in July 2020.
American Dream, the massive $5 billion shopping and entertainment venue in the Meadowlands, opened in October 2019.
For now, Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park, IT'SUGAR candy store, Big SNOW indoor ski park and an NHL-size ice rink are open to the public. DreamWorks Water Park, an indoor water park that will include the world's largest indoor water coaster, a free fall slide with a 70-foot drop, a lazy river and a 1.5-acre wave pool was supposed to open Nov. 27, but the mall recently announced it would be delayed until further notice.
Other attractions, shopping and dining will follow over the next several months at the $5 billion mall.
