LEGOLAND California is offering a monstrously fun way for families to enjoy Halloween this month.
The family theme park in Carlsbad is introducing an After Dark segment to its ninth annual Brick-or-Treat, which is presented by Union Bank of California. Brick-or-Treat will haunt the theme park the weekends of Oct. 13-14, 20-21 and 27-28, with special After Dark hours each Saturday.
During After Dark, special areas of Brick-or-Treat will be open until 8 p.m., allowing the park to come alive with the spirit of the season. In addition to rides, shows and attractions in the areas, little ghosts and goblins will enjoy special activities like the Haunted Hideaways, a Lego brick pumpkin build and a nighttime costume contest with a prize for the best After Dark costume.
Throughout all of Brick-or-Treat, children 12 and under can trick-or-treat with a LEGOLAND souvenir bag on the park's exclusive Brick-or-Treat trail. Trick-or-treaters will be able to gather goodies including Wonka candy, Upper Deck trading cards and other surprises.
The return of the much-anticipated costume contest will give children an opportunity to show off their imaginative and creative Halloween costumes. Youngsters can enter one of five categories to show off their costumes on the Captain's Cove Stage. The categories include most Lego-themed, spookiest, most imaginative, funniest and best of the best. A panel of judges selects five prize winners each day during Brick-or-Treat.
Visitors can enjoy Halloween-themed Lego models throughout the park. At the park entrance, guests can pose with a Lego pumpkin that stands four feet high and weighs 350 pounds. The impressive model was designed and created by the park's master model builders in 240 hours and includes more than 77,000 Lego bricks.
The festivities at LEGOLAND's Brick-or-Treat are included in the regular admission price and can be enjoyed during normal park hours. Tickets for Brick-or-Treat After Dark can be purchased separately for those only attending the nighttime event. For more information, call (760) 918-LEGO or visit www.LEGOLAND.com.
