LEGOLAND Milpitas Holds a Discreet Homage to Robin Williams
At the LEGOLAND Experience store, nestled within the Great Mall in Milpitas, California, a subtle yet significant homage to the late Robin Williams can be found. The genie figure, a testament to Williams's Bay Area legacy and his iconic role as the genie in Disney's Aladdin, is hidden within the store's gigantic scale model of the San Francisco Bay Area, made entirely from Lego bricks.
The genie figure can be found inside the entrance to the tunnel model at the LEGOLAND store. Viewing this intricate detail requires careful observation, adding to the mystery and charm of the tribute. The tunnel model, a replica of San Francisco's iconic rainbow tunnel, was renamed the Robin Williams tunnel after Williams's death in 2014. The real-life tunnel features a sign indicating the new name.
Inside the model of the Golden Gate Bridge, another Easter Egg tribute to Williams is hidden. Inside the hut plant in the miniature model of the Robin Williams Tunnel, a miniature figure of Robin Williams can be found. The genie figure, within the tunnel model, adds to the overall homage to Williams within the store's San Francisco Lego model.
The LEGOLAND Experience store is not just a tribute to Robin Williams, though. It offers a plethora of attractions for visitors. The store features a Lego ride, a 4D movie theater, a laser maze, multiple Lego building areas, a giant Lego gift store, a climbing structure for little kids, and more. The genie figure, with its nod to Williams's iconic role, is one of the many details that make the LEGOLAND Experience store's San Francisco Lego model unique.
LEGOLAND's creative ways of paying tribute to notable figures are evident in this meticulously crafted San Francisco Lego model. The genie figure is an example of the care and detail put into creating this remarkable attraction. For those who appreciate both LEGO and the legacy of Robin Williams, the LEGOLAND Experience store in Milpitas is a must-visit destination.
