If you’re looking for something to “build” family memories over the holidays, check out LEGOLAND® California.  The park will be decked out for the Holiday “Block” Party December 20-30, 2008! While there, be sure to check out the 30 foot LEGO® Christmas tree. It’s the only one in the country, so you won’t see it anywhere else. Your children will love seeing their favorite jolly old elf, red suit, white beard and all, being pulled in his sleigh by a couple of his amazing reindeer. The best part is this merry trio is made entirely of over 50,000 LEGO® bricks!

Along with the spectacular holiday LEGO® creations, LEGOLAND® presents live caroling, and a specially designed mural featuring children from around the world celebrating the holiday season. To top off your festive day, be sure to stay for the evening fireworks display lighting up the Southern California sky.

Or stick around for New Year’s Eve and ring in the New Year as a family. There’s no better place to go than LEGOLAND®! Your kids will love being part of a Kid’s New Year’s Eve party created just for them. Each guest will receive a commemorative LEGO® brick as a memento of their very special night. Moms and Dads will love letting their kids feel just like the grown-ups as they countdown to midnight, (which is 6:00 pm in LEGOLAND® time), with the annual “Brick Drop” in Miniland, and of course a spectacular fireworks display. What a way to reflect back on the memory making fun you had as a family in 2008 only to begin “building” your family’s 2009 memories with a bang at LEGOLAND®!
