Legoland Hotel: Trip Report
By D.Z. "Theme Park Specialist"
The Legoland Hotel in Carlsbad just opened yesterday. We were able to go and see the hotel!
The Legoland Hotel is just feet away from the turnstiles of Legoland California. The front is very decorative, as if a kid was chosen to design it.
Out in front is the iconic dragon.
The hotel's lobby is very family friendly.
A passive LEGO pit allows you kids to build, build, build.
If you walk a little further in the lobby, you will find a gigantic play structure. Here your kids can be wild and have fun.
The hallways and rooms are decked out.
The Bricks Family Restaurant will serve your family for all their needs. Kids dishes are about $10. Another option is a small cafe in the main lobby.
Check back with us soon to hear about the rooms!
