Decks the Halls with Bricks and Holly at Legoland's
Miniland USA
GET TICKETS
Carlsbad, California--
LEGOLAND California is somewhat like Santa's
workshop before the holidays. Even before
Thanksgiving, Legoland master builders are
already decking its halls with bricks and holly!
Master Model Builders trimmed the Christmas tree
in front of the Capitol in Miniland USA.
Each night beginning shortly after
Thanksgiving, the theme park
lights up its huge Christmas tree.
The Miniland Washington, D.C. Inauguration
scene has been replaced by a LEGO interactive
marching band wearing green and white uniforms
with festive red sashes. The animated band
marches back and forth while playing “Jingle
Bell Rock” and a familiar “ho-ho-ho” can be
heard when Park guests push buttons cueing
different sounds of the season. Holly wreaths
have also been added to the eaves of the Capitol
above a 20-inch-tall LEGO Christmas tree trimmed
with more than 500 ornaments. Nearby, a line of
minilanders wait to sit on a mini Santa’s lap
while carolers sing on the Capitol steps. Other
holiday models include children building
snowmen, an elf workshop, a horse drawn
carriage, toy soldiers and, of course, presents
under the tree.
The entire theme park is transformed into a
holiday wonderland featuring vibrant holiday
decorations including a new LEGO snowman
complete with top hat and black coat tails that
stands 5-feet tall, features 37,000 LEGO bricks
and took nearly 200 hours to build. Children may
also pose with a special life-size LEGO display
of Santa, his sleigh and two reindeer. The
7-foot tall display features 51,100 bricks and
provides a unique photo opportunity during the
holidays.
LEGOLAND California’s Holly Jolly Holidays
features the world’s largest LEGO Christmas tree
which stands more than 30-feet-tall, is made of
more than 245,000 forest green DUPLO bricks,
adorned with more than 240 LEGO ornaments and
surrounded by packages and LEGO friends the
whole family can enjoy.
LEGOLAND California’s Holly Jolly Holidays
runs through Dec. 31 and guests can enjoy
festive entertainment every weekend including
carolers, strolling musicians and nightly
fireworks Dec. 26 through Dec. 30. From Dec. 3
through Dec. 24, a child will randomly be
selected to help pull the switch that lights up
the LEGO Christmas tree during a fun ceremony
right before the Park closes each night.
Also, the sparkling musical “Let it Snow”
returns with exciting songs, dancing and a
holiday story to warm guest’s hearts. The
musical holiday show features the Park’s
signature song, “Season of Imagination” and runs
every weekend from Nov. 27 through Dec. 13 and
daily Dec. 19 through Dec. 25.
The holiday season concludes with the
one-and-only Kids’ New Year’s Eve party in
southern California on Dec. 31 with festivities
beginning at 4 p.m. For more information on the
