Legoland Florida

We spent today at Florida's newest theme park, Legoland.



The $12 parking fee was a bit of a shock, but after we got inside the gate we had a lot of fun. Blaze loved it!















The Legoland park is built on the site of the old Cypress Gardens Park, which was one of those "old school" Florida attractions, a garden full of lush tropical plants and a waterskiing show. Legoland has maintained some of the historic aspects of the old park, such as this carousel:



The gardens are still gorgeous, and strolling through them is a nice break from all the colorful plastic blocks.











The 80 year old Banyan tree:


There's even some wildlife.




Then back to the Legos and the rides.



























There are also shows.





This one was taught young children about fire safety:







Snowing soap suds:








I think that Legoland would be a great "starter" theme park for a young child who has never been to a theme park before. Everything at the park is geared towards children who are under 12 years old.
