Legoland California opened in 1999 and is built around LEGO, with a park geared to young children. The experiences children talk about afterwards are the hands-on ones: at Driving School they earn their own driver’s licence, The Dragon is the ride the park invites you to conquer, and LEGO Galaxy adds Galacticoaster, an indoor family coaster. Each morning the opening team picks one child at random to help a costume character open the gates. Food is handled on site with a wide range of family dining, and if your child has allergies, you can ask for a manager or chef at any dining location to find a safe option. The one thing to plan around: the LEGOLAND Water Park sits inside the resort but is not covered by a park ticket, so decide before you arrive whether your day includes it.
