Legoland California is honoring U.S. Military members and their families by offering a free ticket with the purchase of three regular admission tickets when purchased at base tickets and tours offices.
Military members can take advantage of Legoland's 50 interactive rides, attractions, shows, events, dining facilities, gift shops, clubs and sports center.
The park, first opened in 1999, is geared for children 2-12 years old but has plenty of attractions and entertainment for adults as well.
"This park is great. We're having a great time, and it's good for the kids," said Navy Lt. Keith Atkins, Fort Harrison, Mont., after he and his son, Colby, enjoyed a ride on the Bionicle Blaster.
The Blaster consists of 12 individual circular cars spinning counter clock-wise.
Three roller coasters - the Lego Technic Coaster, the Dragon, and the Spell Breaker are among the 50 rides the park has to offer.
Many visitors enjoy the Lego Technic Coaster at Legoland. It's the fastest ride in the park, topping out at a speed of 26 miles per hour. Lego-shaped vehicles let riders experience acceleration, breaking and maneuverability on the coaster.
Legoland offers the Model Mom's Club. The club offers a unique type of support group for parents to discuss with each other along with specialists how to best deal with the duties of raising children.
