Jan 7th, 2011 at 9:30AM:
Legoland California will be the first Legoland theme park to launch a Star Wars Miniland area. The Star Wars Miniland, which will have models of favorite Star Wars scenes constructed entirely of Legos, is set to open March 31.
Eight famous Star Wars scenes will be built in a 1:20 scale. The project will take more than 1.5 million Legos and, we're guessing, a dash of The Force.

Theme parks around the United States are getting in on the Halloween fun this week, with special events featuring everything from horror-filled haunted houses to magic shows to trick-or-treating for kids. Here's a look at our top 10 Halloween theme park events:

Aug 8th, 2010 at 10:00AM:
Guests came face to face with pure evil at LEGOLAND California. Flanked by his 501st Legion of Storm Troopers, Darth Vader descended upon the park for LEGO STAR WARS Days. The two-day event, which ends today, consists of a number of geek-friendly activities (appealing to a guy like me) including a Droid Hunt, video game battles, building, trivia competitions and a costume contest.

All locations are very kid friendly, and won't break the bank. Got your own favorite you'd like to share? Leave it in the comments ...Legoland California Water Park prepares for May 28 opening
May 12th, 2010 at 6:00PM: The water is flowing to fill up the pools and slides at the Legoland Water Park, which opens May 28 in Carlsbad, California.
Legoland brought in local firefighters for a "bucket brigade" photo op to start filling the park's lazy river. In Legoland fashion, the river is called the Build-A-Raft River, and kids will be able to build their own raft out of soft Lego building blocks.
The new park ...Lon-done? Try Windsor and Eton
Feb 4th, 2010 at 11:00AM: If London has whet your appetite for all things English, hop on a train and visit Windsor. Less than an hour from central London, this historic city is one of the easiest and most popular day trips for foreign visitors. You can also enjoy a nice stroll to nearby Eton and visit the famous boarding school.
The main attraction is, of course, Windsor Castle. It's one of the official residences of ...LEGOLAND is coming to Florida!
Jan 26th, 2010 at 8:00AM:
I'd normally be skeptical about another theme park opening in Florida. Does the state really need another one? But, when I saw the announcement from Merlin Entertainments, I changed my mind very quickly. After all, every city should have a LEGOLAND®. By the end of 2011, Winter Haven, Florida will open in this new attraction, which will sit on 145 acres that is currently home to Cypress ...LEGOLAND Water Park to follow 6th year of growth
Jan 9th, 2010 at 1:00PM: The first looks at the world's first LEGO® water park were revealed recently at LEGOLAND California Resort. So far, it's only an artist's rendering of the new water park, but that's the first step toward getting drenched.
This new initiative follows the park's successes with the new Bob the Builder™ 4-D movie and the presidential inauguration scene in Miniland U.S.A. These new ...Legoland hotel planned for Carlsbad
Nov 1st, 2009 at 3:00PM: I haven't been to southern California in a while, but it looks like I just got a reason to go back. A Legoland hotel is in the works at the theme park of the same name in Carlsbad, California. The city council approved the move this week. When construction is finished, a serpentine-shaped hotel will have 254 rooms, sit right next to the theme park and put Lego-loving nerds like me in the middle of ...Coolest plastic Christmas tree in America to be lit Nov 30
Oct 7th, 2009 at 4:00PM: More than 30 feet tall and made of a quarter of a million forest green DUPLO® bricks, the LEGOLAND® Christmas tree is by far the most fun in the United States. Regular trees die, and most plastic trees are so ... well ... plain – they just look like trees. The LEGOLAND tree, on the other hand, is something to be celebrated. At 5:30 PM on November 30, 2009, Tori Spelling McDermott (of ...Obama's blockhead double takes oath in CA
Jan 22nd, 2009 at 1:00PM: While President Barack Obama took the oath of office in Washington, D.C., his counterpart did the same in Carlsbad, CA. While the west coast ceremony was a bit rough around the edges, the blockhead appears to have done just fine. LEGOLAND® California is celebrating our new president with a new display, running until Memorial Day, May 25, 2009. Visitors to this theme park can enjoy the ...Win free tickets to the Chicago Legoland Discovery Center!
Sep 1st, 2008 at 8:00AM: Several days ago, I posted my review of the recently opened Legoland Discovery Center in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg. If you read my review and would like to spend a day surrounded by Lego with your family, then keep reading, as we have some free tickets to give away! The Legoland Discovery Center is located about 20 miles from downtown Chicago. Parking is free, and in this indoor venue, ...Chicago is home to the first indoor Legoland in North America
Aug 26th, 2008 at 11:00AM: Last month, Lego opened its first US based Legoland Discovery Center in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg. This large indoor venue is home to 8 Lego themed attractions, and should provide some Lego fun for visitors young and old. In the name of scientific research, I visited Legoland during their "soft opening" week at the end of July. The location is right next to Woodfield Mall, and is in the ...California fires close parks and other attractions
Oct 24th, 2007 at 9:30AM: If you've got a trip planned to Southern California this weekend, it might be a good idea to reschedule. Besides the current poor air quality and the fact that you might need to outrun a wildfire, many attractions and amusement parks have shut down until the smoke clears. SeaWorld, Legoland, and the San Diego Wild Animal Park are all closed (although the San Diego Zoo remains open). Broadway San ...
