On Friday, May 23rd, LEGOLAND California Resort held its official grand opening for their new three acre addition to the LEGOLAND Water Park. The day included a dozen celebrities and their families. Also were invited were members of the media- including us.
9:00am: I arrived to the main entrance of LEGOLAND California Resort. I then got on a private bus, which brought special guests back into the water park.
After the bus ride, we headed to the "green carpet", where cameras flashed and tape rolled.

I had an amazing time visiting LEGOLAND California Resort to check out the LEGENDS OF CHIMA WATER PARK! The expansion is really awesome, another reason why the resort is a multi-day destination. For tickets, visit california.legoland.com/waterpark
