Legoland Florida Review




So my mother came to visit from California and my boys LOVE legos (obviously you can tell that from the lego birthday party in one of my previous posts.

First off let's talk location.....OMG it's so far and in the middle of nowhere. I thought it was near all of the other attractions so when I googled where it was the morning of my husband was very upset that it was so far away.

We ARRIVED....a few hours later. So we hustle to the water park but it was located through the park on the other end....when we got there even though the sky was clear ALL off the water park was closed due to thunder and lightning....even though it was sunny. I am a Florida resident so I was a big agitated because the sky was clear I know what it looks like when there is rain. So sad crying upset little boys is what I had. So we though let's ride rides EVERYTHING was closed due to weather.

We went to guest services and they told us everything has to be closed to receive a refund. So 1 hour and 58 minutes later we are standing in line a guest services to get tickets to come back much earlier another day...right when we get up front they say sorry we opened a few rides so no tickets. So we try to make the best of it.

We finally start riding some rides and the boys are having a blast. Still no water park. We start to make our way through the lands and CHIMA was a blast for my kiddies.

Many of the rides are kid only but that was fine with us because it was all about the kids. So FINALLY the water park opened up and we were about to go in for a little bit. We were having fun and then the sky turned black...I was in shock that the park was not closing. It was getting chilly because it was super windy and I could see a storm coming in. We exited the water and tried to go and get on more rides of course not the park had CLOSED again.

My suggestions would be go in the spring, less stormy weather. Know where is is located (because it's nowhere near the other parks) Make sure to go early so you can get in the water before the afternoon rains. Go to the rides as soon as you get out of the water. Start with the popular rides first the other rides do not tend to have lines that are too long. Also try to get a cabana they look nice and have their own lockers, water and shelter from the rain.

Overall I wish that we had picked a different day. The boys did seem to have fun when we were able to do stuff. Next year we are going to go to Legoland California, which is located in San Diego. We also plan on renting a cabana so that we have a place to hang out.
