LEGO Friends Heartlake City at LEGOLAND California

Most recently we attended a media preview of the new LEGO Friends Heartlake City. Based on the LEGO toy line, LEGO Friends Mia, Emma, Stephanie, Andrea and Olivia bring their world to life at LEGOLAND California Resort in Carlsbad, California! There’s a new stage, carousel, building station, fountain, new restaurants and more! Mia’s Riding Camp is LEGOLAND® California’s first carousel! Designed to accommodate 1,000 people per hour, it consists of 60 horses and two Jeeps and set for three speeds to recreate the feeling of learning how to gallop on a horse. Heartlake Stables is a new shaded LEGO building trough! Heartlake Fountain is a large fountain in the shape of a heart located in the center of Heartlake City. It’s a fun spot to cool off and splash around. Friends Forever Stage is home to the new “LEGO® Friends to The Rescue” show! With 5-6 performances per day (depending on park hours), the stage rotates to provide different backdrops for different live shows. TIP: Stop by the Meet and Greet in between the shows to meet the LEGO friends!

Cool Finds Inside New Orlean’s Audubon Aquarium of the Americas #TT

We love aquariums! They’re not only educational, but observing sea creatures are just fascinating. You would think all aquariums are the same, but they all have animals unique to their local regions that we like to explore. Which is why we reached out for tickets to review the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans, Louisiana. Highlights include animals from Louisiana’s fishing industry, the white alligator in the Mississippi River Gallery, and a giant shark tank at the Gulf of Mexico Exhibit. Geaux Fish! Located on the second floor, the Geaux Fish! exhibit is fun for all ages. The interactive exhibit features the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries … READ MORE >>

Birthday Itinerary for LEGOLAND California | LEGO CHIMA Water Park | LEGOLAND Hotel

This year, we wanted to gift our son an experience so we celebrated his 5th birthday with a LEGOLAND Adventure. Did you know that LEGOLAND Hotel guests receive a 30 minute head start into the amusement park? This is especially important if you plan to maximize your day and beat the crowds. Because we were staying only one night, we decided to drive down early Saturday morning to make it in time for early park access.
