Florida’s “funnest” theme park, Legoland Florida is less then a year old. At 150 acres, this theme park is located in Winter Garden, Florida- just a short drive from the Disney area. With more then 50 different rides and attractions, not to mention varied eateries, Miniland, and a brand new waterpark- they recommend the park for ages 2 – 12 years old.
The ticket prices are (without discount, which are easy to find!) $75 for adults and $65 for children- or for a waterpark and park combo you can pay $87 and $77. Personally, I think that they should be including the waterpark in the park pass, and find that to be a bit discouraging. Many theme parks we have been to, and written about here, do not charge separately if they have a waterpark within the park. There is also a “regular” parking fee of $12.
Of course, the best value is a multi-day pass for vacationers or annual passes for locals. You can bypass long ticket lines by buying your tickets ahead of time online or at local participating Wal-Mart & Publix stores. If you have a great time, but didn’t get it all in- you can buy a second day upgrade at the park, which you must use within 10 days of purchase. An upgrade to an Annual Pass is $50 (+ tax) for adults and $30 for kids, and is good one year from the date of purchase. This does not include $12 parking. Kids under 3 are free- which is always a good thing. There are things to do for small kids, from carousel rides, to Duplo Villiage, to the many LEGO attractions- however, the rides are geared towards bigger kids, and not toddlers.
LEGOs and dinosaurs? SCORE!
And of course, onto the attractions. There was so much to see and do- there was an amazing Miniland USA., where major and local cities were laid out in great detail. There was a lot of LEGO animation as well- moving cars, fighting pirates, and even interactive areas where kids can shoot water and make sirens ring.
Here’s some more quick facts about the park:
– You can get $10 off a single day combo ticket to both parks. The special is good through October 28th and is available only at www.LEGOLANDFlorida.com.
-The women’s bathroom had free pads and tampons stocked in them- for those “just in case” moments in life.
– MiniLand USA has over 30 million Lego bricks in it.
-Over 100 Master Model Builders from all over the world too two years to build MiniLand USA
– LEGOLAND’s summer park hours are from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
– AAA Members can purchase discounted tickets at their local AAA branch, online, or by phone ($55.99 adults, $49.99 kids).
-Legoland has four roller coasters and all are great for kids. The height restrictions are 36″ to 44″
-Though we did not have time to see it, the original Cypress Gardens is still located on the property. There, you can see the beautiful old gardens of days of yore and wander in a more quiet atmosphere.
the LEGO carousel- by far Little Man’s favorite.
We had fun at Legoland, and wish we had more time to spend there. Next time, Florida, next time!
We have participated in some local Lego events but this would take the cake!
My boys are LEGO fanatics!! Hope we can go there before they grow out of it! Following you from the blog hop. So glad I found your site!
My 13 yo son has been asking me to go there for a year. He’s a LEGO freak and the thought of it being at an amusement park makes it all the more exciting. I hope we get to FL soon!!
