Legoland Florida. Thank you for starting an obsession.
Roller coasters.
That’s what my son said was his favorite part of summer so far.
I beg to differ. This has been the summer when his love for Legos took over his life and every inch of our bare floor.
Linking up with MamaKat, I chose prompt:
4.) Ask your child what their favorite part of Summer has been and then blog about it.
This was it.
Or more exactly this ride.
The cars.
This ride was for children ages 5 – 13 years. They first sat through a driver’s ed class explaining the rules of the road.
As you can see the Webb family was packed for a full day of amusement park fun in the Florida heat.
On the other hand, as the day wore on — I left everything I carried into the park in a locker.
Camera, purses, phones, packages of things we bought (yes, you end up buying stuff), everything — except a credit card and driver’s license to flash when using said card.
After a full day of riding everything in the park (50 rides) — this is the one they both loved.
Other than a wooden roller coaster, which came in a close second.
The cars. Just goes to show you, regardless of economic strain and ecological worries — American’s love affair with the auto most probably won’t die with this next generation of drivers.
Since we have been back, my son has ogled and Googled every way he can think of to find Legos cheap online. An impossibility it seems.
As far as the park goes, this is not an official review but I have to give it a big thumbs up.
I found a “buy adult get a child in free” coupon online. And even if you don’t have a coupon, buy your tickets online to get a discount. There was a huge line to buy tickets and we just walked in.
It’s not cheap. But if you have a grade school age child, crazy about Legos — there won’t be a better time to spend the money.
We stayed from 11 to closing at 8 p.m. and got our money’s worth.
It’s quite the pretty little park. Sitting on a lake, it was the site of the old Cypress Gardens for any of you old school Florida peeps like me.
So….
What was your child’s favorite moment of the summer so far?
And for those of you interested in seeing more of the park, here are a few pictures I took before stowing the camera in a locker.
I really need to see about installing one of these in the backyard.
