California Legoland makes “Jon and Kate” debut

Posted by ThemeParkMom on November 4, 2008 | No Comments

The Gosselin family visited Legoland during last night’s new episode of “Jon and Kate Plus 8.”

The big family rode rides at the park’s Land of Adventure, and got a sneak peek at the new Sea Life Aquarium.

The aquarium looks wonderful for families. There are lots of easy-to-view areas for little kids, like a clear sting-ray tank that goes all the way to ground level. There are also neat plexiglass “bubbles” for kids to climb in, giving the experience that they are inside the aquarium with the marine life.

There are 36 different displays in the aquarium, and many of them include elements made from Legos. Lego divers join the fish in some tanks, and there’s even a Lego lost city of Atlantis.

Unfortunately, the aquarium is closing Nov. 11 – Dec. 26. The company says the closings are necessary to make some modifications to the new attraction. A new interactive sand castle area is being built, and the audio-visual elements and entrances are being upgraded.
