Legoland California Overview
Legoland California, also frequently known as Legoland San Diego, was built in Carlsbad in 1999 as the first Legoland outside of Europe. Although the Legoland that opened in Florida has made that particular distinction untrue, Legoland California is still unique in that it is the only Legoland in the world with a waterpark. Perfect for the gorgeous sunny days San Diego is famous for, the Legoland San Diego waterpark provides fun in the sun with the chance to cool off. Legoland San Diego is an amusement park geared toward children ages 2-12 and is famous for having an entire land full of buildings and rides made out of Lego blocks - or at least made to look as though they are.
An excellent place for imagination to run wild, Legoland San Diego promotes creativity in kids in areas such as Imagination Station where kids are encouraged to build bridges and dams out of Legos and test them against water flow. The theme park is also full of great rides that young kids will love. Let them master the art of driving in tiny Lego cars, or be heroes at the Legoland San Diego Fun Town Police and Fire Academy. Legoland California is built with children in mind and this park is the best there is for stimulating young minds.
While unlike many other theme parks in the area Legoland San Diego is definitely geared toward young kids, adults can still get a kick out of the park in a few different ways. The first and most obvious enjoyment for adults at Legoland San Diego is the chance to see their children having such a fun time. Another thing that adults in particular will love is the Miniland USA part of the park. Legoland San Diego has miniature Lego representations of 7 different parts of the USA built with over 4 million Legos and to an accurate scale of 1:20.
