Legoland Hits the Bricks in Illinois

With outposts in Denmark, Germany, and the UK, Legoland seems determined to expand its park empire in the US beyond the popular Legoland California. The chain has expressed interest in additional stateside sites through the years, including the recently vacated Cypress Gardens in Florida. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Legoland is also perusing a spot in southern Illinois, near St. Louis. The park would be part of a possible 900-acre project slated for retail and entertainment development.
