Starting March 10, you will be able to visit Egypt, circa the 1920s, at the Legoland theme park in Carlsbad, Calif., built from the iconic toy blocks. At the new Land of Adventure, visitors can cruise through simulated ancient temple ruins in four-wheel-drive vehicles, tag targets with mock laser beams and find "lost treasure."

Our favorite? Pharaoh's Revenge, where children and parents fire foam balls at one another. Shouldn't every theme park have one of these? (760) 918-5346, www.legoland.com.

This hotel, which dates to 1921, has 39 rooms and commanding perch by a big river.
