Legoland is a place where kids and adults can live out their crazy Lego dreams and smile all day long, but it is about to get even better. The Legoland Hotel at Legoland California will have 250 guest rooms in Pirate, Adventure, and Kingdom themes.

The hotel itself isn’t made from Lego bricks, but it will be awesome nonetheless. The hotel will have a Lego-themed castle and swimming pool and much much more.

It sounds like a lot of fun, but since you bought all of those thousands of dollars worth of Lego sets, they really should just come to your house and build something cool.
