| On a recent trip to San Diego with my
| |
| | playing areas that were near many of the
|
| five year old daughter, I was in for a
| |
| | rides. It allowed the children to play
|
| pleasant surprise in the form of Legoland
| |
| | with Legos while the parents waited in
|
| California. I've known about the Legoland
| |
| | line. Anyone who has ever waited in line
|
| theme park for a few years and, on a
| |
| | with their young child at Disneyland or
|
| recommendation from a good friend of
| |
| | Six Flags would understand what a great
|
| mine, decided to give the place a try.
| |
| | idea this is.
|
| What a good decision it was because for
| |
| | As mentioned before, Legoland offers many
|
| any family with children under the age of
| |
| | great picture taking opportunities
|
| ten, a day at Legoland is something that
| |
| | because the attractions are, for the most
|
| shouldn't be missed. I took more pictures
| |
| | part, interesting and easy to approach up
|
| of my daughter during our visit to
| |
| | close. One area of the park that is a
|
| Legoland California than I did at
| |
| | must-visit is Miniland USA. It features
|
| Disneyland and The San Diego Wild Animal
| |
| | Lego built models of famous structures
|
| Park combined.
| |
| | such as the Washington Monument, the
|
| Legoland is divided into eight different
| |
| | Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate
|
| areas, each with their own theme,
| |
| | Bridge, and many others. The model of the
|
| featuring rides and attractions that are
| |
| | White House even included a moving
|
| on a Lego scale. And when I say Lego
| |
| | presidential motorcade that drives down a
|
| scale, I mean that almost everything in
| |
| | replica of Pennsylvania Avenue. My
|
| the park is made of those famous toy
| |
| | daughter's favorite parts of Legoland
|
| blocks that so many of us played with
| |
| | were The Dragon rollercoaster and The
|
| growing up. The best way to describe what
| |
| | Hideaways play area which are both
|
| to expect from a visit to Legoland is to
| |
| | located in the Knight's Kingdom. As for
|
| play a game of Lego Star Wars with your
| |
| | myself, I couldn't resist the temptation
|
| child on your favorite video game system.
| |
| | to test my aptitude as a fireman at the
|
| The experience is something that kids
| |
| | Fun Town Fire Academy. This attraction
|
| will love with just enough fun left over
| |
| | reminded me of the physical challenges
|
| for an adult. One of the main goals of a
| |
| | you see on today's reality shows. Of
|
| theme park, which Legoland achieves well,
| |
| | course, I did let my daughter help me
|
| is to create attractions that parents and
| |
| | drive the fire truck just a little bit.
|
| children can enjoy together.
| |
| | Overall, our trip to Legoland California
|
| The main thing separating Legoland from
| |
| | was a fun filled day of family
|
| most other theme parks is that most of
| |
| | togetherness. The marketing of Legoland,
|
| the attractions offer children a hands-on
| |
| | although not far reaching, is excellent
|
| experience. There were several times
| |
| | because it accurately portrays the
|
| throughout our visit that I had to
| |
| | excitement to be had at the park.
|
| interrupt what my daughter was doing in
| |
| | Legoland's employees were both friendly
|
| order to reach our goal of seeing the
| |
| | and efficient, and the facilities,
|
| entire park. Each activity that she
| |
| | especially the bathroom areas, were
|
| participated in could have easily
| |
| | clean. Bring your wallet because Legoland
|
| occupied our whole day if allowed to do
| |
| | is a bit pricey, but the wide variety of
|
| so. It's not hard to see why when your
| |
| | food is good by theme park standards and
|
| child can play with thousands of Lego
| |
| | there are plenty of gift shops to buy
|
| blocks, shoot water cannons at pirate
| |
| | souvenirs and every type of Lego set you
|
| ships, dig for dinosaur fossils, drive
| |
| | can imagine. The next time you and your
|
| Lego cars, and run around in large
| |
| | family visit the San Diego area, don't
|
| playground areas. The most unique feature
| |
| | forget to squeeze a trip to Legoland
|
| of Legoland, which I found both
| |
| | California into your schedule, you won't
|
| interesting and clever, were the Lego
| |
| | be disappointed.
