Music, laughter, and the sound of LEGO bricks connecting filled the air as LEGOLAND California Resort brought its Holidays at LEGOLAND right to families at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego today.

What’s Happening:

  • Families joined in the fun as they were treated to special entertainment and activities from the park’s winter celebration which included the park’s brass band, carolers, LEGO costume characters, a chance to build with the Resort’s Master Model Builders, holiday gifts and a special surprise visit from Mrs. Claus and her elves.
  • Holidays at LEGOLAND California Resort is underway and runs through January 8th, 2023. Guests can enjoy sparkling lights, festive treats and new holiday entertainment! Kids and families can prance their way to Merry Mistletown for some frosty fun and musical mayhem in the show, The Very Merry Mix-Up!
