Lego land California
Growing up, did you ever wonder what exactly you could build with millions of Legos? Lego land park, which has over 30 million Lego bricks, is one answer. Located in Carlsbad, Calif., about 30 miles north of San Diego, Lego land is a 128-acre park that is a combination of rides and hands-on activities, aimed at children ages 2 to 12.
The highlight of the park is Mini land USA, which features reproductions of American landmarks such as the White House, the Golden Gate Bridge and the New York City skyline, built on 1:20 scale. You can't touch the models, but by pressing a button, you can do things like make the monkeys hop in Central Park. The park also has a safari trek, with life-sized giraffes, zebras and lions all built from Lego bricks, and a Lego factory tour. But there's more than just Lego gawking to be done at Legoland.
The park also has 50 rides (including three roller coasters) and a "clubhouse" where kids can take tips from Lego Master Model Builders (yes, these are adults who play with Legos all day). There's also a Lego Driving School where kids test their skills on faux city streets, and perhaps coolest of all is the Mind storms robotic sessions, where pre-teens can build and program their own robots in conjunction with MIT's Media Laboratory. There are also Lego lands in Billund, Denmark, and Windsor, England. A third Lego land, in Gunzburg, Germany, is under construction.
Admission is $39.95 for adults, $33.95 for children ages 3-16 and $33.95 for seniors.
