Paradise Island, Bahamas - Ten year old Frankie Jonas, the youngest brother to the famous American singing trio, The Jonas Brothers, recently became the Ambassador of the new Atlantis Kids Adventure in The Bahamas.
Atlantis held an official opening on January 23rd involving LEGO, who have partnered with Atlantis with upcoming LEGO Camps to open in 2010, and who have also produced a special Atlantis LEGO series.
Frankie helped welcome forty visiting travel writers, along with their children before revealing the large LEGO diver, L.A.N.S.E. in the tanks at the Hall of Water in the Royal Towers.
Sol Kerzner and his wife Heather were also on hand for the official opening, and after a sumptuous brunch, with a feast of desserts straight out of heaven, a local children's Junkanoo performance led the group through Atlantis to the West Tower where the official ribbon cutting took place in the new Atlantis Kids Adventure center.
The AKA new kid's club offers activities for kids aged 3 to 12 years involving culinary lessons, interactive electronic art, theater and outdoor play. The center is a child's dream with a culinary kitchen, Victorian dollhouse, grocery store, Lego construction room, a story telling tree, computer room with iMac stations, a video gaming room with Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3, a Wii Tree and a Rock Band stations, arts and crafts stations, dress up with makeup and hair for a magazine cover shoot, and virtual gaming stations (soccer, grayball, snowboarding. hockey, basketball).

The youngest Jonas enjoyed a few days at Atlantis where he was able to experience the new amenities first hand. Along with the exciting new program, kids and their families can check out the Earth and Fire pottery studio; the Atlantis Pals where you create your very own customized stuffed animal from scratch; or Atlantis Speedway, where you can design, build and race your very own remote control race car or monster truck.
Not only do all these activities keep your children happy and busy during your holiday at Atlantis, but most of the activities are also open to local residents - perfect for birthday parties!
