Lego Spiders Creep Into Legoland California Ahead Of Brick-Or-Treat Monster Party

CARLSBAD, CA — Hundreds of Lego spiders have invaded Legoland California ahead of Halloween.

More than 1,200 Lego spiders have taken over the Lego versions of San Diego and Los Angeles in Miniland USA, a main attraction at the Carlsbad-based theme park. The park's master model builders used more than 33,000 Lego bricks to build 20 variations of the eight-legged critters.

"We love this time of year as we can really get creative and have some fun with our Lego models that we add into Miniland USA for our guests to enjoy," master model builder PJ Catalano said. "In addition to the trick-or-treaters you'll see lined up for candy and marching in the costume contest around Miniland, these spiders add some more Halloween fun to our favorite cities."

The Lego spiders add a dash of frightening charm to this year's Halloween season and Brick-or-Treat Monster Party at the theme park.

The seasonal event kicks off Sept. 14 and will run on select Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 27. Legoland's signature Halloween event will feature candy, character meet and greets, shows and other frighteningly fun festivities.
