Top 10 Lego tips

Visit the LEGOLAND ®Waterpark early to avoid the crowds. I recommend arriving before 11am to avoid long lines. Another option is to visit the waterpark after 3pm, as crowds tend to dissipate around that time.

As a family, you probably have kids of different ages which means one or more of your kids might not be able to ride certain attractions. Families can do a “child swap,” though, which allows one parent to ride with the older child and then swap with the other parent immediately after the ride. This is one of our LEGOLAND Florida tips that lets families enjoy all the park has to offer without any hassle!

You’re at LEGOLAND® with your kids. Let’s face it – you’re going to buy some LEGO bricks. To avoid carrying your purchases around all day, use the free package pick-up service. Simply leave your purchase with the attendant at the store and you can pick it up in the Market at the end of the day.

The app features up-to-date ride wait times for each attraction so you can plan your day accordingly. Skip the busiest rides, like Ford Driving School, and come back when the app shows a shorter wait.

Along with the LEGOLAND® App, which will help with avoiding those long lines, you should arrive early to avoid the long lines. Start in the back of the park then work your way forward. Rides like Safari Trek and Coastersauraus can be skipped initially when crowds might be high. Come back for those rides around 3pm for hardly any wait at all.

Have a child 9 years or older? They can build a computerized robot at the Mindstorms center in the Imagination Zone. Stop by when you first arrive at the park to make a reservation for later in the day, as the activity books up fast.

You might not plan on visiting the LEGOLAND® Waterpark. Even so, it’s a good idea to bring the kids’ bathing suits for those warm summer days. There are water features located throughout the main LEGOLAND® Florida park. These water play area can get kids pretty soaked, so it’s nice to have a change of clothes.

LEGOLAND® allows you to bring in snacks and a water bottle, so you can stretch your hard earned dollars. Pack a few snacks and water bottles to keep the kids from getting hungry or thirty before you have an actual meal at the park. Trust me, this is one of our LEGOLAND Florida tips that will not only save you money but help keep the "hangries" at bay.

If you want to dine at the park, be sure to plan your meal times. Restaurants and cafes within the park have different operating hours than the actual park. Generally, they open later and close earlier. Therefore, don’t plan on trying to eat at the park an hour before it closes. Most sit-down spots will already be shutting down.
