We went here with three adults and children ages ranging 2-12. EVERYONE loved it and didn’t want to leave. The variety of rides for kids of all ages and hand on activities were amazing as well as a couple of play areas to let the kids take a break from waiting in line. We went from open to close and only completed roughly half the park so this is definitely a two day park. Our child of two years of age was able to get on a couple of rides with an adult companion and even got on three rides by himself. Would highly recommend going here for kids of all ages.

Was a fun time and glad we got to experience this place. Overall laid back and lots of interaction. Lots to see. Great place to hang out. Lots of things to do and see. Some good food available but not cheap. Lots of fun.

Fantastic experience for the whole family! We had an absolutely amazing time at Legoland California. The park is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and the layout is perfect for pacing out a full day without feeling completely overwhelmed. What really stood out to us was the staff—98% of the employees we interacted with were incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The interactive building zones and the hands-on details kept everyone engaged from start to finish. It’s a wonderful, low-stress theme park experience that delivers pure fun. Highly recommend!

We visited Legoland on a peak, busy Saturday, and it is glaringly obvious how much the park's quality has declined over the years. What used to be a fun family tradition now feels like a massive money grab with zero execution. Key Breakdown of Our Experience: Sky-High Prices, Low-Value Experience: Legoland's current pricing feels like inflation on steroids. You pay premium prices for an experience that is far from premium. VIP Passes Didn't Save the Day: To maximize our time, we purchased 4 Kids Platinum VIP Passes so they could get on the rides faster. Total waste of luck and money. Three different water rides broke down while we were on them, leaving us delayed and stuck for a long time. It’s a clear sign of poor maintenance. The $40 Drink Cup Scam: Because it was a scorching hot day, we bought the "unlimited" soda/water cups for $40 each. Absolute rip-off. Most of the machines were completely out of ice, and the water/soda wasn't even cold. Paying that much for warm drinks on a hot day is completely unacceptable. Lackluster Staff: The staff used to be cheerful and exciting, adding to the theme park magic. Now? They seem completely unenthusiastic and checked out.

LEGOLAND is great for young kids. I was initially confused about the layout, specifically the resorts, hotels, and theme park, but it’s actually very straightforward. There’s a single main entrance that leads to the parking lot, and from there you can easily walk to both the resorts and the theme park. Parking is about $40, which is reasonable. The more expensive parking options only save you a couple of minutes of walking, so they’re not really necessary. The park itself is compact and very kid-friendly. If you’re wondering whether to bring a backpack or hat, you’ll be completely fine doing so. Each ride has a designated spot where you can leave your belongings for free. The rides are designed for younger children, and I did feel that most of them are quite short in duration. However, overall, kids will definitely enjoy the experience.
