Legoland - A Land of Imagination
and Adventure


Legoland San Diego entrance

What child wouldn't like Legoland? Chance are, you played with Legos when you were a kid, and now your kids are building towers, racecars, and cities with these famous bricks.

There's only one place in the United States where Legoland is found and that's in San Diego! Otherwise, your family would have to travel to Germany, Denmark or the United Kingdom to see 50 plus super rides, shows and attractions for the whole family.

Our kids LOVE Legoland! We first went when Ethan was 4 and Noelle was 2. My daughter tells others in a very excited tone, "Did you know they have those jeep things you can ride in? Ooooh, those are so fun! That's what I like." She's referring to Safari Trek - a safe African adventure with painted jeeps, giraffes and elephants made out of Legos (the animals, not the jeeps). Innovative rides incorporating tons of Legos are the beauty of this place.

All this creativity comes with a hefty price tag like most amusement parks.


1-Day Admission
Adults $67
Kids (3-12) $57

1-Day Hopper Ticket (includes admission to Legoland and adjacent Sea Life Aquarium)
Adults $79
Kids (3-12) $69

If you're just going for one day, I would just enjoy Legoland and skip the aquarium.

Treats and Eats

Granny's Apple Fries For a theme park that serves little kids, Legoland does a pretty good job of serving health conscious alternatives. One delicious signature treat are Granny's Apple Fries in Castle Hill. Sure, they are dusted in cinnamon sugar and served with dipping sauce, but at least they involve fruit! All the french fries are proudly served with 0 grams of trans-fats. They even have special recommendations for places to eat if your child is allergic to nuts, dairy, eggs or soy.

There are restaurants like the Ristorante Brickolini in Explore Village or the Upper Deck Sports Cafe in the Imagination Zone if you want to sit down and eat.

Or try Castle Burgers in Castle Hill or Fun Town Hot Dog for a quick bite.
