2. Legoland
Location: Carlsbad, California
What's Cool: Aquazone Wave Racers
-----------------------------------------
Legoland in Carlsbad, California, is the company's first park in the United States. The company notes that Legoland is "designed specifically for children ages 3 through 12 and their parents." And guess what? The most awesome sights are made of Legos! These include a life-sized gorilla and an Egyptian-style pharaoh, the spittin' image of King Tut (and encased in a labyrinthine tomb). There is also a ferocious polar bear in an ice-white cave and a wolf pack defending its pups. For slightly older kids, the Aquazone Wave Racers offers a life-sized water ride that looks just like the scenes by the same name you may have cobbled together at home.
