World's Largest LEGOLAND Theme Park Opened

To the delight of youngsters everywhere, the World's largest LEGOLAND park opened on Saturday, October 15, 2011

Inspired by the world’s love affair with all things LEGO, the new 150-acre theme park caters to kids ages 2 to 12 with more than 50 "pink-knuckle" rides - from roller coasters to race cars - as well as family focused shows, attractions, restaurants, shows, and beautiful botanical gardens.

Guests will experience 10 easy-to-navigate and highly-themed zones:

- The Beginning serves as the park's entry and features the Island in the Sky, a 100-foot rotating platform ride that offers a 360° view of the entire park.

- Fun Town offers families a firsthand look at how LEGO bricks are made from factory to finish.

- LEGO Kingdoms is inspired by all things medieval and takes kids back to a time of knights, princesses and dragons.

- Miniland USA is the heart of every LEGOLAND Park, and home to eight remarkably themed areas that represent miniature versions of landmarks found throughout the United States.

- Land of Adventure entices adventurers of all ages to explore this fun-filled zone.

LEGO Technic is the most "intense" zone in the park.

- LEGO City is the perfect place for youngsters to live out their dreams in a scaled-down town created just for them.

- Imagination Zone is the most hands-on section of the park, emphasizing exploration and creation.

- DUPLO Village is an ideal area for the youngest set who get to fly a plane, drive a car or explore a whole town designed with their height in mind.

- Pirates' Cove rests along the picturesque shores of Lake Eloise, but alas, has been taken over by a host of swashbuckling LEGO "mini-fig" pirates who star in a live-action, water-stunt show that will bring families nose to nose with all the action.

In addition to the 10 zones, LEGOLAND Florida has taken great care to preserve the soul of the park – the historic gardens established on the grounds of its Cypress Gardens predecessor more than 75 years ago.

A full day of high-energy, memory-making fun awaits families at LEGOLAND Florida, the ideal family vacation getaway with plenty of heart-pounding rides and exhilarating attractions in quite possibly the world's most charming theme park setting.

LEGOLAND Florida is located in Winter Haven, Florida, 45 minutes southwest of Orlando and 45 minutes from downtown Tampa. There is also a new online reservations program to make the holiday booking experience even easier.
