It's been a few years since I visited LEGOLAND in California. It was my first experience at any of the LEGOLAND parks (they've since built one here in Florida) and it was a total throwback to my childhood. Though the theme park is build for kids ages 2-12, I felt right at home even though my daughter wasn't with me. From Miniland USA to MiniFigure Trading and Granny's Apple Fries, LEGOLAND is as much fun for adults as it is for kids.
During my visit to California and LEGOLAND, I stayed nearby in Carlsbad. While my hotel wasn't far from the park, it wasn't exactly walking distance to it either. I had heard chatter of a LEGOLAND Hotel opening in the future, but hadn't thought much about it ... until now!
After years of anticipation, LEGOLAND Hotel at LEGOLAND California Resort is officially opening its doors on Friday, April 5, 2013!
LEGOLAND Hotel Deets:
- The three-story, 250 room hotel will immerse guests in a creative LEGO world and every room is themed after one of three popular LEGO toy lines in the Park: pirate, adventure or kingdom.
- Children will have their own sleeping area in every room complete with bunk beds, a trundle bed and their own TV.
- A spectacular entrance is guarded by a smoke-breathing LEGO dragon created out of 400,000 LEGO bricks.
- Each room has at least eight LEGO models and theming can be found on the walls, carpeting and bedding. There are more than 3,500 LEGO models throughout the Hotel using more than three million LEGO bricks.
- Interactive features include a Castle Play area, a talking and spraying dragon on the patio, LEGO play pits in the reception area and a treasure hunt inside the rooms where younger guests search for clues then open a locked safe to find LEGO treasure!
- LEGOLAND Hotel is located right at the main entrance of LEGOLAND California, and guests will have exclusive early access to the park.
Cool, right? Will you be staying at the LEGOLAND Hotel on your next visit to LEGOLAND California?

I wonder if there are plans to open one in Orlando too.
