Legoland Florida to celebrate Christmas Bricktacular

The brand new Legoland Florida theme park is gearing up for their first holiday celebration. Christmas Bricktacular will be happening from Dec. 8 through 31, 2011.

Festive decorations and sounds of the season will fill The Beginning and Fun Town, followed by Kids’ New Year’s Eve on Dec. 31. Of course, Legoland is the best place to pick up the Christmas gifts that are on most children’s wish list – Legos.

The Beginning will be home to a more than 30-foot-tall Lego Christmas tree made with a combination of 270,000 forest green Lego and Duplo bricks. The park’s first-ever tree lighting ceremony takes place Dec. 5 with a special master of ceremonies. Through Dec. 31, a special family will be chosen to help light the Bricktacular tree each night.

Santa Claus will make special daily appearances in the historical botanical gardens.

Kids’ New Year’s Eve on Dec. 31 lets kids rock out and watch the sky explode with Lego fireworks at just the right time for them, midnight KST (Kid Standard Time) – otherwise known as 7 p.m.

Holiday events are included in park admission. For more information, visit Legoland.com
