Brick Day Bash Celebrating 10 Years of Fun!

LEGOLAND California is celebrating 10 years of fun and there's never been a better time to visit! To celebrate our 10th birthday, we're having a fireworks celebration each Saturday this summer at 8:30pm, June 27 - August 29, 2009! Please note the Park will be open until 9:00pm each Saturday from June 27 - August 29, 2009.

March 20th was LEGOLAND® California’s 10th birthday and there was a lot to celebrate! We unveiled the world’s largest LEGO® birthday cake, launched the new Bob the Builder™ 4-D movie “Bob the Builder and the Roller Coaster” and announced a new attraction opening in Land of Adventure this summer – Dune Raiders.

The 10-foot-tall, 5½ -foot-wide, birthday cake was made of 100,000 LEGO bricks. The model took 13 model builders weeks to create and features LEGO replicas of some of the Park’s most popular attractions sitting atop four tiers. Some of the models are animated including a moving pirate ship, turning dinosaur head, and illuminated candles. Guests can marvel at the giant LEGO birthday cake all summer long and view birthday-themed fireworks every Saturday.
