LEGOLAND California

LEGOLAND California isn’t just for kids! Oddly enough, it’s quite enjoyable for adults as well. The theme park offers a plethora of rides, play areas, and adventures that will appeal to all ages. Within its 128 acres, this incredible adventure spot also has a Water Park and the Sea-Life Aquarium. 

I was very impressed with the beautifully vibrant sculptures, the design, and the attention to detail – absolutely amazing! Kids and adults can ride rides, play games, get a look at famous people, take part in adventures, and even walk through Washington D.C. and New York City!

You may explore areas like The Beginning, Explorer Island, The LEGO Movie World, Fun Town, Mini Land USA, and Ferrari Build & Race, to name a few. The app and printed map have very detailed information, making navigation clear and easy. 

The Coastersaurus rollercoaster offers adrenaline-pumping thrills as it zips through the twists and turns. 

LEGOLAND California in North County San Diego is chock full of adventure areas for kids. Imagine journeying through the Amazon Rain Forest, or being a paleontologist in Dig Those Dinos, or becoming a firefighter, police officer, or pilot. All this and more await you at the Ferrari Build and Race area.

The Junior Driving School for little tots was super fun to watch as was the LEGOLAND Express in Fun Town. And then there’s Safari Trek, Skipper School, and Junior Driving School where the kiddos can have a great experience all while gaining tons of knowledge. 

In addition to interactive experiences, games, rides, and attractions, there are also shows and activities such as character meet and greets, live shows, and 4D movie experiences. 

LEGOLAND California: Fun Facts & Cool Features

This theme park has more than 60 rides, shows, and attractions as well as a myriad of hidden gems. Features include elephants bathing in the water, the Eifel Tower and Big Ben on your boat cruise. In the jungle are gorillas and tigers, while the mighty hippo is in the river. 

You can relax and take a wonderful boat ride through the Fairy Take Brook or take the Coast Cruise and move through the lazy waterway that takes you from Explorer Island to Mini Land USA—this is where you can see the Eifel Tower and Big Ben as well as many other hidden gems. 

There is also Captain’s Cranky Challenge, Bionicle Blaster, Cargo Ace, Dune Raiders the giant slide, Emmet’s Flying Adventure Ride, Kid Power Tower, Ninjago, and Technic Coaster just to name a few.

One of my favorite areas was Mini Land USA where the skyscapes of popular U.S. cities are on display. Stroll through Central Park and Las Vegas. The LEGO sculptures are spot-on, and there are informative fact plaques explaining what you are looking at for those who have not been to these places.

Some of the newer sculptures, such as the Elephant and the Zebra, are absolutely stunning with their super vibrant colors and attention to detail. They made me want to buy some LEGOS!

The dining choices feature sit-down dining to grab-and-go counters and kiosks. And don’t forget to shop for cool LEGO blocks, apparel, and souvenirs in the gift shops.
