LegoLand used to be an internment camp  for Japanese-American citizens during World War II. If you're not familiar, after Pearl Harbor President Franklin Domino Roosevelt issued an order that let the military designate "exclusion zones," places where they could order people not to go. The whole West Coast was declared an exclusion zone, but only for Japanese-American citizens. The only way to get around the law: go to an interment camp.

It's a topic that textbooks don't like to talk about much, so places like LegoLand and Knot's Berry Farm were build to distract people. I don't know if it's true, but if you go up to one of the employees and wink once with the right eye, then the left, then the right again they will take you to the building where they store all of the gongs they dig up when they're doing construction.
