Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - And Build - At LEGOLAND® Florida

Central Florida’s Newest Theme Park Hosting LEGO® Friends Weekend – March 24-25, 2012

Winter Haven, Fla. (March 5, 2012)– The newly introduced LEGO® Friends - Olivia, Andrea, Stephanie, Emma and Mia –are coming to LEOGLAND® Florida to host a weekend of fabulous fun geared to girls March 24-25, 2012. A first-ever event, LEGO Friends Weekend is a daytime party that includes a LEGO Friends building event, live entertainment, games and activities. This event celebrates girls and their personal individuality, just like the LEGO Group’s newest line of construction toys.

Event details include:

· Olivia’s Girls Just Wanna Build

o Girls can get empowered and inspired to build masterful LEGO creations with an opportunity to meet Master Model Builder, Adora. Once the building bug has taken hold, girls (and boys!) can build a portion of a Heartlake City LEGO model.

· Andrea’s Heartlake Café

o The Market Restaurant will be transformed into the iconic Heartlake Café. In front of the restaurant guests will be able to sing their heart out with a karaoke performance.

· Stephanie’s Lakeside Party

o Guests will be able to dance till dusk at the end-of-day LEGO Friends dance party.

· Emma’s That’s So You Fashion Show

o Saks Fifth Avenue is putting on the glitz to show ways to transform girls into their favorite LEGO Friend.

· Mia’s Mad About Animals Scavenger Hunt

o Kids will hunt through the historic Cypress Gardens using clues to find Mia’s favorite animals. Once completed, guests will turn in their list at the LEGO Friends Shop to receive a prize.

Participation in LEGO Friends Weekend is included in park admission. The best way to experience the entire LEGOLAND Florida special event series and cool off at the LEGOLAND Water Park attraction is with the LEGOLAND Premium Pass, $179 for adults, $149 children.

Interestingly, the event will also involve a scavenger hunt in the beautiful Cypress gardens area of the park. That's just what the park needs year-round! It would certainly make that already gorgeous area even more appealing to young guests. A scavenger hunt game through the gardens was also proposed by some members of the LEGOLANDphotos.com site. We certainly hope LEGOLAND will do something similar in the future!
