LEGOLAND Holiday Block Party Starts Today!

by Carole A. Lane on December 22nd, 2007

The world’s biggest LEGO Christmas tree is the centerpiece of the ninth annual Holiday Block Party presented by Volvo Cars of North America at LEGOLAND California, Dec. 22 through Dec. 31, 2007. Unique to this year’s celebration is an incredible “holidays around the world” LEGO mosaic welcoming guests from around the world to the family theme park. That theme continues into the night with fireworks lighting up the sky above Miniland U.S.A. accompanied by a unique soundtrack featuring holiday songs from around the world.

Also during the Holiday Block Party, children may pose with a special life-size LEGO display of Santa, his sleigh and two reindeer. The 7-foot tall display features 51,100 bricks and provides a unique photo opportunity during the holidays. Of course the “real Santa” will also visit LEGOLAND Dec. 22 through Dec. 24 before heading up to the North Pole.

The entire theme park transforms into a holiday wonderland featuring vibrant holiday decorations, savory meals and jolly sounds of the season. Visitors are encouraged to come and watch the tree sparkle in the night, meet special guests, enjoy festive holiday music and get some holiday shopping done at The Big Shop. The theme park’s Big Shop is the largest LEGO retail store in the nation boasting more than 8,000-square-feet of the hottest toys and merchandise.

The holiday season concludes with the one-and-only Kids’ New Year’s Eve party in Southern California on Dec. 31 with festivities beginning at 3 p.m. For more information on the LEGOLAND theme park, event schedules, hours and prices log onto www.LEGOLAND.com or call (760) 918-LEGO.
