Legoland CA














Tuesday Feb. 22, 2011- Along with the 4 day pass to Disneyland and California Adventure we also decided to spend a day at Legoland as Kevin really wanted to go. Basically Legoland is a lot like Disneyland only tamer. Almost all of the rides were similar to rides in Disneyland only the roller coasters went a little slower or the water rides were a little dryer. You get the idea. They also have a huge area devoted to replica buildings from around the world made entirely out of Legos. We spent quite a while there. Plus they have an aquarium attached to Legoland that you can visit while there. The first problem I had with Legoland is that they don't open till 10am, which is okay, but they closed at 5pm. So, we have this theme park similar in size to Lagoon here at home, with tons of interactive stuff for the kids to do, and tons of rides, and a water play area, and an aquarium, and were supposed to get through it in 7 hours. Really!?! I was told that I would like Legoland because it was a little slower paced than Disneyland, which it is, but I still felt frantic to get to see everything in the time that we had to see it. We ended up with 45 minutes at the end of the day to rush through the aquarium, which was really neat. Thankfully they let us stay a while since we were in before five.
The Lego city was fun. Gus even called a Punch Buggy yellow that he found. Can you see it in the picture? He's pointing to it! And of course, we had to have or picture taken with Lego Sponge Bob! The good thing about them closing at 5pm was that we could go and have a leisurely dinner at a reasonable hour, which we haven't been able to do yet on our trip! We went to Rubio's and had delicious nachos and fish tacos. Yum!
