Carlsbad, Calif.-It is no surprise that the theme park Halloween season has heated up to what nearly amounts to a competition. Each park-Queen Mary, Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott's Berry Farm, and Legoland (to name a few) continue each year to increase their Halloween festivities and attractions so that the avid scare fan can be entertained through Southern California.

Legoland California sets itself apart as a child-friendly Halloween attraction, as does Disneyland where the Haunted Mansion creeps out kids all year long. The options are better than ever for children, and one of the best places to take them is Legoland in Carlsbad.
