Legoland theme park in
Carlsbad, California should be added to your vacation list,
especially if you have kids. While our travel writers loved the park
(and they're pushing senior citizens status), youngsters from ages
"baby" to 10 seem suited for the games, the rides and primal art
that surrounds you at this delightful theme park.
Family friendly in every way,
from the moment you arrive and observe the colorful, useful baby
strollers, to the rental lockers, large bathrooms with low toilets
and sinks for tiny tots, healthy fruit cups, milk and other items
sold in the restaurants, to games, exhibits and shows designed for
youngsters to enjoy, you know you've arrived at kids paradise.
Smokers, leave your butts at the door. There's no smoking here!
OK, so maybe Disneyland has
Legoland beat for attendance, but by no means do that mean that you
should overlook Legoland Park. For any adult who has ever
built a Lego kit for a kid or helped them in the frustrating moments
when they're over-challenged by the Lego rocket ship construction,
this park's for you, too. It's not just boys who these toys
are geared for, though boys do especially well with them.
Girls dig right in and love Legoland, as do moms, dads,
grandmothers, grandpas and just regular grown-ups.
LEGOLAND California features
more than 50 rides, shows and attractions with new attractions and
events constantly added. Pirates in a Splash Battle, Brave Knights
for the Knights’ Tournament and Firefighters to put out fires at Fun
Town Fire Academy are but a few of the shows that will keep kids on
their toes.
What's especially appealing
about Legoland is the location. Halfway between Orange County's
Disneyland and SeaWorld San Diego, Legoland is a short distance from
the beach and features superb weather and cool afternoon breezes to
make the theme park pleasant.
On a recent trip to Legoland,
we did something crazy. We went to Legoland to see the flamingos
made out of Lego bricks, then went to
San Diego Wild
Animal Park 30 minutes distance to record the live flamingos in
the throes of some major grooming efforts.
When visiting Legoland
California, the beach location offers family beach vacations in
Carlsbad. Affordable options include
Ramada and
Inns of America but the
Hilton Garden Inn is also a reasonably priced option.
