London: UK-headquartered Merlin Entertainments said on Tuesday it was closing three attractions in Turkiye including a local branch of the famous Madame Tussauds wax museum.
The firm, which operates many theme parks worldwide, is also closing its Legoland Discovery Centre in the country and a Sea Life aquarium, a spokesperson for the group told AFP.
The three sites, all located in Istanbul, would permanently shut their doors on Tuesday, the company said, citing poor commercial performance.
The marine animals housed at the aquarium would be transferred to other attractions, it added.
