There can’t be many people around the world who haven’t heard of LEGO. These colourful plastic bricks have been children’s favourite for many years. You can build just about anything with LEGO bricks – cars, houses, castles, spaceships – and a trip to Legoland California will show you that anything is possible with LEGO.
Among the attractions at Legoland California is Dino’s Island, where you can dig for dinosaur bones and fossils, or take a ride on the Coastersaurus roller coaster. Or why not visit Fun Town, where young visitors can drive a fire truck, fly a plane and get an official Legoland driving licence! Everyone’s favourite is Knights’ Kingdom, where you can ride the fantastic Dragon Coaster through the castle and find out what life was like in the past. At Explore Village, you can go on an African safari trek and see giraffes, zebras, lions and other animals made out of LEGO.
Before you leave Legoland California, be sure not to miss Miniland USA. Twenty million LEGO bricks form amazing models of American landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Kennedy Space Center. This is certainly one of the most spectacular sights at Legoland California and will make your visit here unforgettable.
