Legoland, the US venture of the legendary Danish toy making company, features more than 5,000 different Lego models and more than 50 separate attractions, ranging from shows and thrill rides to hands-on exhibits and landscaped garden areas. There is plenty to amuse adults with a healthy interest in scale models.

The park is divided into half a dozen theme areas, starting with The Beginning, an orientation near the front gate that includes shopping, snacks and other guest services. Beyond is Explore Village, where millions of Lego bricks have been fashioned onto fairy-tale characters, African wildlife, and an interactive water play area.

Knight’s Kingdom replicates medieval English times in the form of a simulated joust and a rustic playground with rope climbs, cargo nets, and slides. The Imagination Zone showcases more sophisticated Lego products.
