LEGOLAND California

It’s hard to say who enjoys LEGOLAND California more: the little ones running around in a magical world created by 60 million LEGO plastic bricks, or their parents. This theme park in Carlsbad, in northern San Diego County, features two onsite hotels, a water park, and an aquarium—qualifying it as the kind of place a family could spend several jam-packed days. Walk through Miniland USA to experience expansive miniaturized LEGO recreations of New York City, San Francisco, and more, and leave time to enjoy more than 60 rides, shows, and attractions—including three roller coasters.
