Earlier this month, Kualoa Ranch, which is a film location, tourist attraction, nature reserve and working cattle ranch, created an awareness promotion on Instagram offering free LEGO® sets from the 30th anniversary collection. LEGO® Jurassic World kits feature scenery that is unmistakable to anyone who’s ever been to Kualoa Ranch in Windward Oahu.
Known as “the Backlot of Hawaii,” Kualoa has maintained, for decades, its dominance among top film and TV production locations that offers the rich beauty of Hawaii in a quiet and secluded setting. Only 45 minutes from Honolulu Airport and harbor shipping facilities, Kualoa is easily accessible.
Kualoa is a 4,000 acre Private Nature Reserve as well as a working cattle ranch with more than 600 head of cattle, 120 horses and 200 sheep, stretching from the steep mountain cliffs to the sparkling waters of Kaneohe Bay. Located on the eastern shores of Oahu, Kualoa is just 24 miles from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. The reserve terrain varies from waonahele … dense Hawaiian rainforest … to waokanaka… broad open valleys.
Kualoa Ranch is an authorized dealer of LEGO®, so with their history of filming and recognizable landscapes, it made for an original promotion.
LEGO® Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary sets include:
The Visitors Center
The Brachiosaurus with a jeep
Dennis Nerdy with this jeep
A Velociraptor escape
Ford Explorer set
