What does 50 million LEGO® bricks plus an exciting educational curriculum equal?
What does 50 million LEGO® bricks plus an exciting educational curriculum equal? An educational field trip to LEGOLAND® Florida!When LEGOLAND Florida opens its gates on October 15, the fun is just beginning with 50 rides, shows and attractions. From learning about how structures are made and what makes them strong in Tall Towers to Amazing Machines where students build their own amazing machine equipped with gears, levers, pulleys and motors, teachers can find just the right program to match what they’re learning about in the classroom.
“By showcasing math and science in a fun and interactive way at LEGOLAND Florida, we are aiming to change the way our students view these sometimes difficult subjects,” said Kim Isemann, Director of Sales and Marketing. “LEGOLAND Florida is a hands-on, interactive theme park and we think education should be no different.”
With seven educational programs incorporating STEM and the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards, LEGOLAND Florida is dedicated to affordable extracurricular education. Each of the seven programs is seasonally priced and starts at $5 per student and includes a 45-minute educational session and a full-day at the park. Field trips start in November. Programs can be booked now by appropriate school officials by calling 1.877.350.LEGO.
Earlier this year, LEGOLAND announced a one-of-a-kind partnership with University of South Florida Polytechnic that offers every 2nd grade public school student in Polk County the chance to participate in one of the seven programs free of charge.
Also just announced is a complimentary Standard Annual Pass for all active Florida teachers. This Annual Pass allows Florida teachers to experience first-hand the benefit of adding a LEGOLAND field trip into their curriculum. Teachers must visit http://florida.legoland.com/freeteacherpass to register for the Pass and for redemption instructions. Teachers can receive their pass on specially designated Annual Pass Processing Days at LEGOLAND Florida, September 16, 17, 23 & 24 from 10a.m. – 5 p.m. and September 18 & 25 from noon – 5 p.m.

* Funtastic Gears (Grades K-2): Students build a theme park ride using gears to alter the speed and direction.

Actor Atticus Shaffer at LEGOLAND Florida
Actor Atticus Shaffer who plays adorably quirky “Brick” on ABC’s “The Middle,” worked his first-ever summer job at LEGOLAND® Florida, an all-new family theme park under construction just outside Orlando. Calling it his “best day ever,” Shaffer tested rides, built LEGO® models and whipped up kid-inspired snacks with the park’s executive chef. Opening October 15, 2011, LEGOLAND Florida will provide interactive entertainment for families with children ages 2-12. LEGOLAND Florida offers Senior Garden Pass
In true tribute to the generation that adored Cypress Gardens, LEGOLAND® Florida has announced an annual pass for any guests 60 years of age and older. The Senior Garden Pass allows our mature guests access to all of LEGOLAND Florida for less than the cost of a single-day admission ticket. When LEGOLAND Florida opens on October 15, the interactive family theme park will be 150-acres of more than 50 rides shows and attractions geared towards families with children ages 2-12 – and grandparents too!For just $60 plus tax, seniors can enjoy the beauty of the botanical gardens at LEGOLAND Florida year-round. This weekday annual pass includes parking and access to the park Monday-Friday for an entire year.
“We are thrilled to offer our distinguished guests an annual pass tailored just for them,” said Kim Isemann, Director of Sales & Marketing. “At LEGOLAND Florida, we are incredibly proud of our heritage and especially the beautiful gardens. This specialty pass was designed to allow seniors the experience they’ve told us they wanted – access to the botanical gardens.”
The Senior Garden Pass is now available online at www.LEGOLAND.com. When the park opens on October 15, guests will also be able to purchase at the park’s front gate.
LEGOLAND Florida has taken great care to preserve the soul of the park – the historic gardens established on the grounds of its Cypress Gardens predecessor more than 75 years ago. The setting has been restored to its pristine condition, and the collection of native plants, including azaleas and camellias, have been reclaimed and combined with a range of exotic species to create a horticultural masterpiece. And still standing sentinel in the garden is the vast Banyan tree that was planted as a seedling in 1939.
