Merlin is the company that owns LEGOLAND and announced a new partnership with Mojang Studios to bring a Minecraft themed experience to “both sides of the Atlantic.” This collaboration is called “Adventures Made Real” and will turn the Minecraft experience into immersive and interactive attractions.

Merlin is planning on spending $110 million on the first two attractions which are expected to come to both the US and UK between 2026 and 2027. In the future, Merlin will also expand the Minecraft experiences to other global destinations.

What Would A Minecraft Theme Park Experience Look Like?

The Minecraft experience would incorporate real world experiences and interactive features from the Minecraft world.

According to Merlin, this will include the development of a Minecraft themed “accommodation, retail, and food & beverage, alongside exciting experiences, including a Minecraft-themed ride, at Merlin locations” in the US and UK. This development would also unlock real world “touchpoints” that can be accessed to unlock actual in-game content.

The creative collaboration of these reality experiences between Merlin Magic Making and Mojang Studios promises to “ensure authenticity” in all its features.

This is an exciting development for Minecraft fans! While it is unknown just yet where the US experience would be located, Orlando would be a good choice to further expand their offerings in that area.
