Perfect theme park for kids!! It wasn't that busy and we loved that! The kids were able to roam around freely and all the rides were perfect for my 2 and 4 year old. Everything was awesome!! 😃👍

Jennifer HarrisJuly 8, 2013Be sure to get there when the park opens otherwise the line in to the parking lot is brutal. We didn't find the rides much worth the wait but there is a lot of cool stuff to see if you just walk aroun
Nathan KamMarch 28, 2012If you're the shopping type, do your shopping in The Big Shop early in the day for best selection and less crowds. They will hold your bags for you free of charge. The late afternoon crowd is crazy!
Miki JimenezJune 26, 2013Loved it , Awesome 2 Day 3 attraction package very well worth the price. My 4 yr old son on the way home back to Az wanted to go back the next day again. ;-) Next time will be the hotel their on site.
Roberto Bruder AguiarNovember 22, 2018Probably last time coming to a Legoland as my kids outgrown it. It’s an excellent option for small kids up to 8-9 years old. They had a blast, but they are getting older now for that.
jon accarrinoApril 7, 2018The Reserve And Ride is worth it. We used the cheap option and it made our day much more enjoyable. Don't forget to reserve your next ride immediately after being scanned.
Legoland is awesome. Great weather, quality food and so many things for children to do including the waterpark. We tend to stay at a hotel nearby
Legoland, oh Legoland. Why have I waited for so long to visit you. The creativity at this place is just awesome. The collection of hard to find Lego sets are awesome. Everything is AWESOME!
elmoalso@gmail.com YunkApril 25, 2021Honestly, as an adult I don't understand the attraction. That said, we have taken grandkids and their friends many times and everyone of them just LOVED the place. It's a sure bet for your kids too.
David GarciaJuly 8, 2024Waterpark area is amazing Legoland overall is amazing and yes its tailored to younger kids but around 10/11 they would still love it, enough rides and activities for kids to have a great day everytime
The food is great at this park! Our favorites are the all you can eat pizza and salad bar by the technic coaster and the bbq in the medieval area!
John AvelisOctober 11, 2014My kids are 7 and 3 and don't move quickly from one attraction to another, so I'm glad our first visit is two days! If we lived here we'd have a membership for sure!
민경 강October 15, 2013If u want to enjoy better than before, u can use this promo code 13028 on
If you live close by, I recommend buying the season pass. But 3 get one free. Open to all parks too! We just enjoyed a day in the water park
Kelwadis ButlerDecember 2, 2017Knights Smokehouse BBQ is pretty good quality food and for a theme park. The meat is BBQed on the premise and they have several flavors of Carlsbad flavored BBQ sauce you can apply yourself.
Hillary FolsomJuly 28, 2018Minis lounge in the hotel is great for evening drinks while the kids enjoy a show at 6PM! Great place to unwind after a long day in the park.
Ed SoonJuly 3, 2016Great interactive play, Legos, and rides for younger children without heavy crowds and lines. The smoked brisket sandwich at the garden cafe was pretty great.
Michael FriedrichApril 30, 2017Many playthings for kids. We as adults enjoyed building with bricks, the Star Wars area, and of course mini-land USA.
- Nathan KamMarch 28, 2012Take advantage of second day admission for just $15 more. If you have small kids, expect to spend a couple days here. This place is incredible and really geared to the little ones.
Bruce TienSeptember 30, 2014I play LEGO since I was little. It's my dream to come here to have fun! But honestly, most of the felicities is for children lol
Jill BerryAugust 16, 2011MiniLand is amazing, especially the Star Wars area. I loved that the kids could see what Los Angeles and Hollywood looked like in Lego before visiting the real thing! Read more
Kim Sanders-WhittleOctober 12, 2013The water park gets crazy hectic upon opening. Wait 30 - 60 minutes to avoid long line in. There are family sized changing rooms & various locker sizes (go for the large locker at $9 for the day).
David FogelJanuary 11, 2019Perfect place for kids from ages 4 to 11. The LEGOLAND Resort Hotel is ideally situated for entrance into Legoland. The park could use some more updated rides.
Jamie MillerJuly 18, 2013People are very friendly. Few rides are for kids under 36". Only one spot for like 2 year olds. You have to have a full outfit on for every ride in the park & shoes. Water rides only exception.- Mike KelleyJuly 24, 2015Eat at the Garden Market and get the Brisket Sandwich. Best brisket sandwich in a while, and it comes with chips. Great kids meals too.
Small kid oriented park that is great for small ones but annoying for adults. They will nickel and dime you and the rides are short, but all with long waits that aren’t worth it.
Luis RuizAugust 27, 2014Loved the mini cities. Great place to take the kids to have a great time. Plus you can play with Legos.
Andre AubutApril 3, 2013Drop your bags with the bell hop and head to the park early in the day before checking in. Hotel is right at entrance to park.
Maina KhojaJuly 10, 2015ring your towels, weather tends to b chilly even in July, food varieties r limited. My girls age 9 and 5 says it's ok. I think it's a good try mimicking disney land.- Garden CarpioAugust 7, 2014Great place for kids. Definitely cheaper and more entertaining than that mouse place. You have to try the Apple Fries
Kelly GiffordNovember 26, 2012The 2nd day extension is only $15-$20 per person and well worth it especially with a toddler that can't last an entire day at the park.
M. KhalidJune 17, 2013This tip is for tourists.The land is a 45 mins outside San Diego you must rent a car don't hire a cab.There are no cabs around the area you have to walk more than 10 miles to reach Carlsbad station
Virgil RDecember 11, 2013Look for the coupon that comes in the Lego product catalogs, the coupon is: A free ticket for a child, the purchase of an adult ticket.
Ginny BrideauSeptember 14, 2019It’s easy to stay hydrated plenty of shade while you wait in line. Rides for all heights and ages
McOwnage OneOneEightJuly 17, 2015Wow pay $700 to get in then $25 for parking then if you want to get all the rides they want an extra $100 Disney you got my business from now on
Troy NelsonJuly 15, 2011Line is very long but well-shaded. Plus they have an area where kids can play with Legos while u wait in line. Then they can just join you when you get close to the front. Or ride other rides nearby.
Christian BNovember 25, 2018Best for those under the age of 10 for rides. The older crowd will appreciate all the Lego models!
Nicolas RamirezFebruary 12, 2016Very nice place to spend time with kids. Totally worth it more than one day/visit.- Virgil RDecember 11, 2013An excellent theme park, mainly focused on young children. Although there are rides for older children and adults.
Fun for the kids and Lego/Starwars geeks. Impress one of the employees by calling them "Lego bricks"! Because Lego's paranoid like that.- Nathan KamMarch 28, 2012If your kid is less than 34 inches tall, they won't be able to ride a lot of the stuff here...but will have a good time nonetheless with all the other distractions in the park.
Kelly Malak-MorrisAugust 14, 2011Download the new LEGOLAND app to explore map, rides and car locator. Plus it's your very own Show guide while at the Park! And it's free!!!
Chris CegielskiJanuary 20, 2019Take advantage of one of the many ticket deals and it will make it worth it.
Mario AlvarezMarch 15, 2017Everything a Kid, Young & Older wants to do with LEGO's!!! #LegoBatmanMovieRocks
If you have kids between 4 and 12, this place is a million times better than Disneyland. Much more to do!
