The Lego Aquarium is now open for business! It has a sleek, modern design on the outside and three floors of exciting exhibits on the inside. It's a perfect outing for any lego family!

Ground floor
First room:
 - front desk to buy tickets
- giant fish tank with the tropical orange lego fish
- small round wall tank holding a unique species of starfish
Second room:
- fish food preparation room with lockers, a sink, and shark repellant (just in case)
Third room:
- Another giant tank with tropical fish
- the Giant octopus tank, a perfect spot for a photo shoot
- exit to the stairs leading to the second floor

Second floor:
- The aquarium's snack bar with a table and chairs
- The Penguin exhibit
- the touch pool (a favorite for all the lego children)
- the baby sea turtle exhibit
- exit to the stairs leading to the upper floor and a ladder that leads up to the roof

Third floor:
- A prep room outside of the seals exhibit
- The seals exhibit (including a ball the seals play with for enrichment purposes)
- Two additional fish tank with different species of lego fish
- additional table and chairs by the windows

Roof:
- Filtration tanks that help keep the aquarium's water healthy
- Hinged skylights that provide additional access to the top floor

Outside:
- A beautiful fountain where visitors can toss in a coin and make a wish
- Environmental control system for the penguin exhibit on the back of the building 

Minifigures:
Mom, Dad and two children; The aquarium scientist, administrator, and snack bar/ticketing worker

Printed tiles:
If this were to be a real set I would recommend custom printed tiles to display outside of the penguin and seals exhibits (I tried to use my limited photoshop skills to create basic examples)

I had a fantastic time building this set and put as much detail into it as possible - all the cabinets and drawers contain fish food and medicine for the aquarium scientist to use in the care of his charges. I think this would make a great addition to the lego product line because of the potential educational value and all the fun aquatic animals. In building it, I used the dimensions of other lego creator sets so that this building could easily fit alongside them. Please support and share with your friends and family!
