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.

And there you have it! There are certainly 20 more reasons to visit LEGOLAND® California, but we’ll save those reasons for their 40th birthday. Have fun!
