TEXT FROM SAN DIEGO ATTRACTIONS
Highlights
LEGOLAND® California—one of San Diego’s premier theme parks—ignites creativity in kids and adults of all ages. Feel the excitement grow as you approach the front entrance, where a 9-foot, bright red, LEGO dinosaur welcomes you to a day of color, amusement, thrills, and action!
Amusements
LEGOLAND is divided into several areas—the Beginning, Dino Island, Explore Village, Miniland USA, Funtown, Knight’s Village, and Imagination Zone.
Older kids (and adults) head for Imagination Zone, which features the LEGO TECHNIC Coaster. People of all ages also enjoy riding high above LEGOLAND on Fun Town’s Sky Cruiser—but be sure to line up early for this popular ride. Fun Town has other appealing “transportation opportunities”—youngsters can fly a biplane, captain a LEGO boat, and even pilot a helicopter. Although every LEGOLAND area offers something for toddlers, Explore Village is an ideal place for them to start. It’s home to the interactive Playtown and the Fairy Tale Brook boat ride. Castle Hill features not one, but two, exciting coaster rides—Dragon Coaster and SpellBreaker. Playtown is also one of five venues that offers a family-oriented theater experience. Be sure to take advantage of the many interactive play areas that are designed to stimulate both physical and mental activity in children and adults.
Food
When the kids get hungry, you won’t have far to look—not only is LEGOLAND filled with food carts, but it has five full-service restaurants that specialize in child-friendly foods and adult favorites. Check out Test Track Diner in the Imagination Zone for burgers, sandwiches, and a wide choice of desserts. The Market, a food mart just inside the park entrance, is a good place to fuel up at the start of your visit or enjoy a treat at the end.
Shopping
Souvenir shopping is especially fun in LEGOLAND, where you can buy everything from t-shirts to every LEGO set imaginable. For a different keepsake, visit the King’s Market in the Castle Courtyard and outfit your own royal family in costumes.
Getting There
LEGOLAND is about 30 miles north of San Diego in Carlsbad. The drive north on I-5 has some nice views of the coast. Take the Cannon road East exit and follow the signs.
For current information call LEGOLAND at (760) 918-LEGO.
Insider Tips
LEGOLAND’s web site is worth a visit, especially for first-timers, because it provides tons of detailed information on all park attractions. Does your family have a builder, a daredevil, or a dreamer? Check out the attractions and match them to your interests… we recommend making a “must-see” list. The site can help you identify age-appropriate fun.
