Sure, there are thousands upon thousands of LEGOS® at each turn, either in bins or built up into every famous building on the planet, but now that the park is celebrating 20 years of existence – there is an infectious celebratory mood happening as soon as you walk through the famous LEGOLAND® California sign. Given the park has turned the big 2-0, YH has put together a list of the Top 20 reasons (you know there are so many more though!) why it’s super cool/fun/exciting to visit LEGOLAND® California right now!

 

1. The new birthday special – In celebration of LEGOLAND® California’s 20th birthday, the theme park has been giving children 12 and under a free admission on their birthday in the year 2019. Hurry, there’s still time!

 

2. The all new DUPLO® Playtown, with it’s new LEGOLAND® Express train, has reopened in the most scenic area of the Park.

 

3. LEGO® City Deep Sea Adventure submarine ride

 

4. Mini-Land

 

5. The park isn’t too big, which makes it super easy to walk.

 

6. The Rides! LEGO® NINJAGO The Ride, Cargo Ace, Coastersaurus, Sky Patrol, etc, etc, etc…

 

7. LEGOLAND® Water Park, featuring the newest ride Riptide Racers

 

8. SEA LIFE® Aquarium -- This facility is so stunning it’s worth walking through many times a day.

 

9. Boats! Ride a boat on the Coast Cruise or make one and race it at Eglor’s Build-A-Build.

11. All. The. LEGOS®. They are literally everywhere for kids and adults to play with -- get your creative on.

 

12. The (free) LEGOLAND® app features up-to-date ride wait times for each attraction.

 

13. Distance -- The Park, located in Carlsbad, CA, is so close to L.A. that it’s a win/win.

 

14. Cleanliness. It is so clean at this park. The upkeep is phenomenal.

 

15. Celebs have been there so it must be cool.

 

16. Everything is at a child’s eye level, making the trip their experience.

 

17. LEGOLAND® Castle Hotel. Non-stop excitement and joy wrapped up in one hotel--err, castle. You almost don’t have to leave the hotel to go to the actual park; it’s that on point. And there is a bar strategically placed next to the playground within the restaurant for adults to have some fun too.

 

18. LEGOLAND® Hotel – The original hotel option when you just want to stay at the park for another day.

 

19. The food: Granny Apple Fries, Knight’s Smokehouse BBQ, and Ninja Kitchen, just to name a few.

 

20. The park never feels too crowded that you never want to go back. I’m not sure how they do it, but LEGOLAND® California seems to control the amount of people at the park to ensure you’re never losing your mind waiting on a line for too long or pushing your way through a crowd. Each time I visited, the scene was totally doable.
