    Great place for kids! If you have children under 10 this place beats out Disneyland.

    Bring a change of clothes/towels. There's water rides that will soak you. Bring snacks. Expect little and be pleasantly surprised.

    Did you know? The word LEGO is formed from the Danish words "LEg GOdt" ("play well"). The company later realized that in Latin the word means "I put together." Read more

    Really fun, get the VIP pass to avoid any waits in line. Great for kids under 10, rides are a little light for older kids

    Legoland is awesome for children under 10yrs, I recommend visiting the park on a week day, less people and you enjoy the park.

    Not enough history of legos. Overpriced. Love the mini lego towns. Except san Fransisco and ny are mighty inaccurate.

    The game attendants are generous with the kids. Gave our kids extra chances and larger stuffed animals even if they didn't win.

    Scale from 1 - 10, service = 2, rides = 3, food = 6 (for theme park they have gluten free and organic) and exhibits = 10.

    Legoland is awesome for children under 10yrs, I recommend visiting the park on a weekday, less people, and you enjoy the park.

    Be sure to get your kids a lanyard and ask for pop badges. Can you find Mr. Gold?

    Like all other amusement parks, food and drinks are exceptionally expensive so bring your own if you want to save some major coin.

    Best theme park for kids 4+ in california! Soooo innexpensive! Order a 3 month sea life/legoland pass from costco online a few weeks before for the price of a 1 day ticket!

    Great low-key park for families with kids 9 and younger. Sea World = too expensive. San Diego Zoo is great but requires a lot of schlepping.

    Great park for families that have children under 10yrs old. Would not recommend for adults only. Also, use AAA discount if you have one (savings of $8 off the $75 admission).

    Go on weekdays, the park is usually empty. That's how I like my theme parks

    Make your gift shop purchases early in the day. The store can even hold your items for you. It gets real crazy from 3:00 on.

    Lots of fun, but be aware. As Lego does not actually operate the park, Lego gift cards or VIP memberships are not valid anywhere in the park

    Eat at Ocean Journeys Cafe, by far the best food at the park. You do not have to enter the aquarium to eat here!

    Moms if you forgot to pack something in your diaper bag don't worry they have a nanny caddy....3 in fact. The kiosks dispense everything a diaper could want.

    The don't check bags so you might be able to sneak in food even though they say outside food is prohibited inside the park.

    See if Marko is doing caricatures at the easels across from the ride. If he is, you definitely need to buy a drawing from him. He's super talented!

    Be sure to trade mini figures with employees. They must trade you just like Disney employees must trade pins.

    Too childish; I was expecting some districts positioned for adults but not. I just enjoyed miniland ; overpriced. In addition themes could be better ; I could not feel Lego's creativity inside!!

    More rides than we expected. Lines moved fast, but skip the kid powered sky bicycle. Totally not worth the wait.

    Low key. Good for younger kids and those who are Lego freaks. Zero lines in the middle of March.
