Theming
editThe facade is made to look like the Palace of King Triton and features fanciful seashell-inspired architecture. This area is unique in that it is mostly indoors and recreates the feeling of being underwater. Most of the rides in this area are geared towards younger children. Inside Mermaid Lagoon's building, families can ride several flat-rides, explore the Ariel's Playground play area, and it formerly included a live entertainment show.[1]
