LEGOLAND® Named ‘Best’ Theme Park in the World
Coasters, Hands-On Attractions and a High Fun Factor Make the Park a Top Pick.
CARLSBAD, Calif., For the second year in a row, LEGOLAND® California has been
named one of the best theme parks in the world by Forbes.com. The popular
travel feature showcases the finest amusement parks around the globe. LEGOLAND
was honored for innovative and interactive rides and its wide range of shows and
attractions for the whole family.
“This theme park is both a shrine to LEGO and a theme park with rides and
games,” writes editor Christina Valhouli. “Teens should book a session at
MINDSTORMS, where they can build robots (the program is done in conjunction
with MIT). ”
This latest recognition adds to LEGOLAND California’s impressive list of honors.
Recently, readers from ThemeParkInsider.com ranked the Carlsbad theme park the
“Best Theme Park for Kids.” This is the first time there has ever been a winner
in this category on the Website.
This October, LEGOLAND California’s General Manager, John Jakobsen, will accept
the Thea Special Achievement Award from the Themed Entertainment Association
(TEA) based in Burbank, Calif. Bestowed to all four LEGOLAND theme parks, the
Thea Award was “created to honor the thousands of professionals worldwide on
theme entertainment projects who strive every day to develop places and events
that bring people together, capture their hearts and allow their imaginations to
soar,” said George Wiktor, president of TEA.
LEGOLAND California also has been recognized by the YMCA of San Diego County as
an exemplary community partner honoring the family theme park’s on- going
commitment to generously helping the YMCA tell it’s story to the community.
During the award ceremony, Phyllis Schwartz, general manager of NBC 7/39,
acknowledged the park’s efforts to insure all YMCA kids have the opportunity to
enjoy the LEGOLAND family theme park and also acknowledged LEGOLAND California’s
efforts in the YMCA’s Annual Membership Drive.
The San Diego Business Journal and Wells Fargo gave a Multicultural Heritage
Award to the park this summer. Another recognition LEGOLAND California’s
management is very proud of.
LEGOLAND California is a 128-acre family theme park dedicated to families with
children between the ages of 2 and 12. Just like with LEGO toys, kids are the
ones who make things happen at the Park. They drive, pedal, squirt, climb,
jump, stomp, slide, steer, pull, click, push, gallop, laugh, build and program
their way through more than 50 rides, shows and attractions. There are only
three other LEGOLAND parks in the world -- LEGOLAND® Billund in Denmark, and
LEGOLAND® Windsor outside of London and LEGOLAND® Deutschland Gunzburg, Germany.
