Minecraft is getting two theme parks, with the first due in 2026

Exciting news for Minecraft fans as two theme parks are in the works, created in partnership between Mojang and Merlin Entertainments. These parks will feature rides, hotel accommodations, and shops, set to open in the UK and US by 2026 and 2027. Merlin Entertainments, known for operating popular attractions such as Alton Towers and Legoland, will bring the Minecraft experience to life.

According to The Guardian, the Minecraft parks will be integrated into existing theme parks or introduced as standalone city center attractions. Mojang and Merlin have ambitious plans to expand to other regions as well.

This collaboration marks another milestone for Minecraft’s presence in the real world, following the success of the Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue in Texas. With upcoming projects like a live-action movie and a Netflix animated series, Minecraft continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Universal Studios also has plans for a potential Minecraft-themed park, adding to the excitement for UK theme park enthusiasts.

As a fan-favorite, Minecraft has been recognized as the best PC game ever, further fueling anticipation for the theme park experience. Whether it’s exploring virtual worlds or enjoying real-life attractions, the Minecraft theme park promises a memorable adventure for fans of all ages.
