Adults like the big Lego creations and the model cities in Miniland, the simulated factory tour and watching the kids having fun. The kids will find a lot of things to bop and bounce, and plenty of rides and activities geared to their age group. Because of this, many rides have maximum age and/or weight requirements. About one-third of the rides have a minimum height requirement.
Tips for Your Legoland California Visit
- If you have a toddler with you, pick up the leaflet titled "What to do When You're Two" near the entrance. It lists activities suitable for the smallest guests.
- Several attractions require extra fees. Decide what you want to do about this and discuss it with the kids in advance.
- If you give in and buy some of those Lego blocks on sale by the pound (or anything else), you can have them held at the park exit and pick them up on the way out.
- Pets are not allowed in Legoland California, but you can leave them at the kennels just outside the front gate.
- If your kids get lost, they'll end up at one of the two Lost Parents locations. Any employee can help you find them.
Legoland California Tickets
The cost of admission includes many rides, shows and attractions. Children under three get in free, and anyone over 12 pays the adult price. Seniors over 60 pay the same as the kids. To save time in line, you can buy tickets online and print them at home.If you're a AAA member, bring your card along and get a 10% discount on one-day admission tickets (at the ticket booths only).
The Go San Diego Card offers a lot of attractions (including Legoland) at a very reasonable price. You can only do so many of them before your card expires, so be sure you can do enough of them to make it a good deal for you.
