We were in Southern California after a 5 year stay in China and I wanted my children to visit all of my memorable places I frequented when I was young. I had in fact never visited Legoland because I was already an adult and thought this place would only be good for children. It is actually a wonderful place for children. While we loved another huge attraction in Anaheim, Legoland is by far a better place for families with young children. First of all, during the summer, Southern California’s sunny weather can get brutal. It was no exception. However, when we traveled to Carlsbad, the weather was slightly overcast which kept the temperatures very cool until mid afternoon and then even after that, it was pleasant. The lines to ride the attractions are minimal. In the other theme park in Anaheim, you need at least two days to see all the rides. Here, you can see and do it all in one day. Every attraction is made especially for kids so we didn’t have to keep telling our eager children, no, you can’t get on this ride until you are older. It was a memorable day for our family and the memory continues on in our children’s imagination 9 months later.

My family love going to Legoland. There is so much to do!The staff is super friendly and go above and beyond to make it special. We took a special trip for my brothers birthday and he did a vip tour. We loved the amazing experience. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time with Renate on the VIP Factory tour! She taught us all about how legos are made and made our son feel so special. We could tell that she loves sharing Lego with others and truly cares about every guest. A week later and the VIP tour is still the highlight of our Legoland trip!

Took my 2 yr old Granddaughter who has fallen in love with "wegos" as she calls them, she had a blast and hadn't stopped talking about it

Legoland has gone downhill. Half the park is closed and they do not tell you this on their website. The one that are available shut down during the day , most concessions are closed. They are short staffed. The car place where ur child can drive a car is torn down, it was a Monday and no construction crews in sight. I used to live here 15 years ago and brought my daughter often, this place is a shell of what it used to be. So sad … limited facilities and the prices are as high as they ever been. Save your money and time and go somewhere else that provides vale

We usually have a fantastic time at Legoland, but this visit was a bit of a letdown. While the park still has its usual charm and fun attractions, there was a lot of construction going on, which made navigating the park more difficult than usual. One of the biggest issues was the lack of available restrooms due to the construction—this led to extra walking and longer waits, which wasn’t ideal, especially with kids in tow. Additionally, with so many areas blocked off, we found ourselves spending more time figuring out detours than actually enjoying the rides. It’s understandable that improvements are necessary, but it would have been nice if there were better signage or temporary solutions to help with the inconvenience. Overall, Legoland is still a great place for families, but if you’re planning a visit soon, be prepared for some challenges. Hopefully, once the construction is complete, it will be worth the temporary frustrations!

Outstanding visit! Low crowds, perfect weather and we had Michael as our super star guide who showed us all the best kept secrets of the park. It was a perfect experience for our 4 and 6 year old boys - but the best part was how much fun mom and dad had! We will be back.

The pops were fun for our kids to find. Especially the stand alone tables where you were instructed to look for certain items

It’s a great place kids enjoyed lots of things to do even if you do not wana wait in lines there is tons of activities all the way around very much worth it

Had a great time! Bring or buy Lego mini figures to trade with the Lego Traders throughout the park. Two of the Lego traders we so nice and helpful and made our experience even better! Look for Lorraine and Christine when you visit the park and they will gladly trade some Lego figures with you.

We’re at the Legoland Castle hotel. We almost didn’t come because everything about the reservation process (online and phone) was so terribly frustrating and unpleasant. But from the moment we arrived, it was magic for my daughter (7). We spent the first day enjoying the hotel activities (pool, treasure hunt, exploring), but the highlight was the “shows” by Fair and Wren — not just the scripts which are so kid appropriate and fun, but “Fair” and “Wren” are masters at relating to kids with respect, fun, direct dialogue, and listening. Every parent should watch and learn. I never imagined what a positive, fun and encouraging experience an evening “hanging around” a hotel could be. I also need to call out the pool lifeguard staff for incredible professionalism. There were just a couple kids in the pool when we came, but they didn’t kick back to relax. They patrolled actively and with full awareness. Super impressive. Kudos to Legoland hotels. If you could just fix your reservation system (like: don’t try to get people to spend $15 on a “drivers license” when the ride is closed… don’t change prices every five minutes… give phone staff more training on positive customer support instead of being mean and insulting x3…), we’d love to come back.

This park is great for young children (under 10) or shorter kids (under 48”). Our kids weren’t able to enjoy many rides due to these limitations. Be advised: the driving ride is down but they will still sell you a driver’s license making activity. (Not worth it) Also, the website offers a souvenir cup with unlimited refills but each stand was either out of cups or they weren’t equipped with the scanner to process the voucher. I recommend, stay away from this scam! The aquarium was small but decent.

I’m convinced that Renate IS Legoland California. After booking a VIP tour, my 4 year old son would not stop YELLING about how cool everything was. Renate made our trip so special and personalized. I will be recommending this visit to anyone who comes through Legoland.

Great time at legoland. First time staying at the hotel, and honestly it was such a great experience, already looking forward to the next trip

The staff is not trained for good service, to be in a kid fríendly and happy experience its far from happening. The hotel is not spacious enough. Expect chaos
