It’s one of our favorite times of the year at LEGOLAND California! Ghosts, Goblins and not-so-scary Monsters are back and ready to “boo-gie” down at LEGOLAND California Resort for it’s Brick-or-Treat Party Nights!  Every Saturday night in October (Oct. 5, 12, 19, and 26) at 5 p.m. the family theme park transforms into the ultimate family Halloween party with tasty goodies, monster jams and spooktacular entertainment! With treat stations located throughout the park and inside SEA LIFE Aquarium, there is sure to be something to satisfy every sweet tooth. Along with tons of candy, party goers can collect specialty items such as a LEGO Commemorative brick, LEGO Life Magazine and healthy treat options!

The popular Brick-or-Treat festivities are back with a new out of this world Pop Badge Challenge! Families can collect an exclusive Brick-or-Treat pop badge by snapping a selfie with an intergalactic dancer at Club Astro Bash! After dancing their way at Planet Boogie, they can collect one pop badge per weekend, with an exclusive, new Pop Badge design offered each Brick-or-Treat Party Night!

The ultimate family Halloween party is filled with frighteningly- fun entertainment as the Boo Crew returns with a new creepy crawly stilt walker, The Spider Queen! We had a ton of fun taking photos with all of the Boo Crew characters!

Get in the Halloween spirit by jumping in and boogieing down at the seasons most frighteningly-fun dance parties which includes Midnight Monster Jam where you can help the Monster Crew bring their spooky fun character concert to life! Wacky Professor Frankenbrick returns to Brick-or-Treat with one goal: to be the best mad scientist in the world! Kids can partake in the interactive Frankenbrick’s Lab show by using their imagination to bring his LEGO Monsters to life. Kids can celebrate the season by singing along and moving their feet to the beat with The Witchettes in the Courtyard Theatre or by joining in the interactive play, Mail Order Monsters. There is also a chance to win some scream worthy prizes by showing off your coolest costumes in the Brick-Or-Treat Costume Contest presented by Disguise Costumes! With three categories: Group, Heroes & Villains and LEGO Themed, as well as a Costume Parade for all kids to join in, there is a chance for everyone to strut their stuff during the Halloween celebration!

When we asked the kids what their favorite part of Brick-Or-Treat was, they quickly said, “EVERYTHING!” Soon followed by, “The food, especially the food.”  Being a foodie myself, I totally have to agree on that. There are some delicious seasonal treats you won’t want to miss, like this Pumpkin Crepe.

Make sure to go find the “Brickzini” too. The kids can ask him whatever question they want about anything or their future and he will come up with the best answers. It was very entertaining to watch and the kids loved it.

Lego City: Deep Sea Adventure Submarine Ride Takes its Maiden Voyage at Legoland California Resort!

Lego City: Deep Sea Adventure Submarine Ride Takes its Maiden Voyage!

By Kirsten

*We were given tickets to go experience the new ride for purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions remain our own!*

It’s summertime and the weather is heating up.  When I think warmer weather, I think of going to the beach to snorkel or SCUBA dive to cool off and see the amazing sea-life.  Many families don’t have the option to go to the ocean to see fish and sharks but thanks to Legoland, California, you can see sea-life, not only at their Sealife Aquarium, you can take a submarine ride on the all new Deep Sea Adventure!  My family was invited to the grand opening of the newest ride at Legoland California and we were IMPRESSED!

LEGO® champagne bottles were popping with streamers and the crowd of special guests cheered as the submarines were christened for the newest ride at LEGOLAND® California Resort: LEGO® City: Deep Sea Adventure submarine ride!

This interactive ride features more than 2,000 sea animals including several species of sharks, rays and other tropical fish amid new LEGO® models all themed around a ship’s sunken treasure! Get ready for a sweet underwater adventure, you won’t want to miss this new attraction at Legoland!

 Five species of sharks and several species of rays including a southern stingray with a five-foot wing span, are among the sea animals that can be seen.

The 8 new Deep Sea Adventure submarines hold up to 12 people at a time so the line moves quickly.  When I say quick, I mean the ride never actually stops unless a wheel-chair is needing to get in.  Be careful and duck when you step down into the submarine, the roof is a little low on the door.

LEGOLAND! Holiday Snow Days & Winter Nights are Here Through January 3rd! #LegolandCA

LEGOLAND! Holiday Snow Days & Winter Nights

By Penny from On the Go OC!

*We received media tickets to attend the Holiday Snow Days at Legoland*

It was a Snow Day kind of day today! We packed up some jackets and headed south to Legoland in Carlsbad.

We were able to cover Holiday Snow Days for Erin and experience all the fun that LEGOLAND CA is bringing to winter on sunny SoCal!

Holiday-Snow-Days-Legoland

What I love the most about Legoland is that my whole family can enjoy everything from food to rides.

The Holidays bring out all the festivities. Our top 5 faves per my 8 year old:

Snow-Play-Snow-Man-Legoland-Carlsbad

* Snow Play* – The kids loved to play in the snow with their friends. There was plenty of room to celebrate the winter fun with Snow Man building, and he was a huge one! Throwing snow balls at a festive wall was also a lot of fun. They were able to sled as much as they wanted to. There was plenty of room to play for the kids and adults and there was also a snow ball launching area to aim at targets. So much fun for everyone to play with snow in the warm sun!

Heartlake-City-Legoland

* HeartLake City*– Always a favorite to visit. The Holiday show was just amazing. The kids sang along and danced while the Lego Friends came together in a special Winter treat of song and dance and of course friendship!

* Christmas Tree Lighting and Music* – Jenna Elfman did a wonderful job and the live music was magical. The lighting was beautiful and was accompanied with fireworks and snowfall! Everyone really loved the surprises that made the tree lighting so perfect.

Legoland-Christmastree-Lighting-Fireworks

* Fireworks* – This was a pleasant surprise for everyone! The winter night sky was lit up with fireworks to celebrate the Tree lighting ceremony! It was the perfect end to the night!

Lego-Santa

* Santa and Lego Santa* – Did you know that Lego Santa is on the grounds!? He is so cute and just adorable. Make sure you catch him and get a hug!
