A couple days ago my oldest, youngest and I all had the honor of attending the unveiling of the the LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland Death Star Model Display at the LEGOLAND California Resort.
My little one has just started to really get into LEGO’s and Star Wars so this was a huge deal to her. My oldest has loved LEGO’s since she was little too so they were both the perfect guests to take to the event. We decided to head on over to the resort earlier in the day because it just sounded fun and it was! The Little One could spend all day just enjoying Miniland so she was thrilled to see the new model.
The Death Star even has a superlaser that lit up the night during the opening ceremony!
The Death Star is HUGE!
Standing at 8-feet wide, 13-feet high, and weighing more than 1900 pounds it’s exactly what you would expect from the LEGO Master Builders! They carefully created this masterpiece from over 500,000 LEGO bricks making the LEGO Death Star model the largest addition to LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland.
The new model display features iconic film scenes made of LEGO® bricks that were filmed inside the Galactic Empire’s space station including the famous trench run scene where Luke Skywalker maneuvered his X-wing fighter through the combat zone to destroy the Death Star. Adjacent to the planet-shaped LEGO model, guests are invited to use their imaginations to construct their own LEGO starships at building stations.
“Since opening in 2011 and making the first major addition in 2012, LEGO Star Wars™ Miniland has become one of the most popular areas for children and their parents,” said Ronchetti “We are thrilled to add a LEGO model that our guests have been asking for, the LEGO Death Star! Truly, this addition is galactic!”
The LEGO Star Wars™ Miniland Death Star is designed from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It includes six animated Turbo Laser Turrets and LEGO starship models built out of more than 20,000 LEGO bricks. The unveiling of the new LEGO Star Wars™ Miniland Death Star Model Display kicks-off the fan favorite, LEGO Star Wars™ Days event on March 7 and 8, where guests can spend the day participating in Star Wars™ related activities.
LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland Death Star Model Display is included in the cost of admission to LEGOLAND California Resortand is now available for viewing.
I think my son had a few kits, but he wasn’t as hardcore as your house is. You guys are having so much fun with it!
I have always wanted to go to Legoland. I am in California but about 12 hours away. One day I will make it there!
Love the LEGO statues and figurines.. My kids too love LEGO and we have quite a bit at home.
How cool is this place! My kids would love to check it out!
This place combines two of my family’s favourite things: Lego and Star Wars. My kids (and my husband) would LOVE to visit it!
What a great experience! I love the pictures. I remember when my kids were young enough to love legos…
wow, how elaborate the experience looks. i’m not a Star Wars fan as in I’ve never even seen the movie or, er… movies?, but I think I’d enjoy this.
I am not a star war fan but the kids love it and I love when the kids are happy. They will enjoy it . Thanks for sharing.
How fun for you guys! I can’t wait until we get a chance to get out there and visit!
We don’t have any Star Wars fans in the house. My 3 year old is still into Spiderman :). Looks like you had a lot of fun.
That is so amazing to me. Those lego’s look like so much fun!!
We never made it to LegoLand when we lived out there. It is on our to-do list for the next time we visit.
My oldest son would love these legos. He been has been a lego fan for a long time.
Fun! My kids and husband are all about Legos! I think this will be the next vacation we do.
The Legoland in Kansas City I think also just started a new Star Wars display. I have to go check it out.
That is so neat, I hope to go someday.
That place looks so amazing. What a cool adventure.
That looks like a ton of fun. Tell your daughter to smile. 😉
OMG, what a wonderful experience. My daughter (now 30) loved legos so much we used to call her Lego Head! I noticed the other day that her daughter (age 2) has legos, too! This would be a wonderful adventure for the 3 of us to take in the future! Thanks for sharing it with me!
So fun! I’m hoping I can take my son to Legoland Malaysia this year for his 7th birthday. 🙂
wow, that’s so awesome and very intricate!
Looks like a ton of fun, who wouldn’t like Star Wars and LEGO!?
Oh. That looks so amazingly fun!! My nephew isa big big LEGO fan, particularly Star Wars LEGOs. We want to try to get to Legoland this year!
My father in law would LOVE this! He is a huge Star Wars fan and likes Legos too. We have been getting him the sets for Christmas.
Legoland seems so cool! They have one up in Boston… I am hoping to take my daughter this summer!
We have been to the LegoLand in Orlando a few times and it is sooo much fun! My son is obsessed with Star Wars too and thats the number one reason he likes going. He thinks they live there, like Mickey lives at Disney lol.
Wow, all of those LEGO miniatures look so cool. I went to something in NYC centered on LEGOs, maybe a special store. I loved seeing King Kong, dinosaurs and Superman all made out of LEGOs.
This place looks amazing! My son is a HUGE Lego fan and he would go absolutely crazy if we ever went to Legoland!
To answer your question, yes! I have a huge Lego anything fan in the house. 😉 Your pictures are great, I’m glad you had a nice time out.

Legoland is every child’s dream. It looks like you all had a great time. I will have to see if we can visit this place soon.
