If you or your kids are crazy for Legos, you've got to take a trip to Legoland California, located north of San Diego in Carlsbad. Remember when you were a child and you put together all those cool Lego toys? Now you can visit a place with your family where Legos are literally larger than life!

Legoland is fun for all ages, but it is especially geared toward children younger than 12. Rides are small and not really "thrilling" for bigger kids, so if you have only teens in your group, you may think Sea World is a more fitting destination, unless your kids are ready to get super silly!

When you visit, you'll get to enjoy more than 50 different rides, attractions, and entertaining shows. Some rides are made for the entire family, while others have a height requirement. However, they are all made for fun and excitement to be enjoyed by the entire family, no matter height or age.

Check out fun attractions such as the Lost Kingdom Adventure where you take a ride through an ancient temple and try to recover ancient treasures and shoot laser guns at Lego bad guys. For something a little more medieval, check out the Knight's Tournament, where kids can have their very own jousting tournament on their own Lego horse.

The 3 Boys in San Diego Family Say:

We love theme parks that are easy to get in and out of and Legoland California fits the bill. Located just off Interstate 5, parking is simple, with a quick and easy walk to the park's entrance, which is perfect after a long, tiring day.

If you want to see the Sea Life Aquarium, too, during your visit, there's a convenient entrance located right in Legoland.

Granny's Apple Fries, coupled with home made whipped cream, are a tasty favorite.

On a hot day, enjoy a Water Balloon Fight. It costs a bit extra, but it's worth the giggles your family will have.

Kids of all ages will love testing for and earning their own laminated driver's license, found in Fun Town at the Volvo Driving School. Pay a few dollars and spring for a lanyard to attach the license to; smaller kids love skipping around the park wearing their licenses around their necks.

Even teens and adults who "have seen it all," should get a kick out of Miniland USA. Comprised solely of Legos, these miniature reproductions of sights and scenes around the United States will amaze you. Keep an eye out for funny scenes behind the scenes, like a Lego guy getting arrested or hidden Stormtroopers.

While at the park, be sure to take in some of the exciting shows available. Legoland offers live shows like Fun Town Fire Department where you compete against other families, as well as enticing 3-D and 4-D shows from off-road racing to a world of sorcerers and knights in a battle of good versus evil. You and your family will feel as though you've been pulled into the show.

The park is small and just right for a one-day adventure, offering nine different sections, each with their own themes and activities. Legoland California is a place where everyone is sure to have a great time, whether young or old. Who ever said growing up couldn't be fun, just didn't know where to play!

Legoland has added even more fun! Visit the Sea Life Aquarium, right next door, for an educational, fascinating look at life under the sea.

Legoland's ticket prices and schedule varies, so it's important to check their web site before visiting. You can find more information at Legoland.
