Hi, I've read a few reviews that say Legoland passes are available at Costco. Can you tell me what the price is there? My alternative is the online special of a 5 day hopper (LLC, LWP, SLA) for $87 for adults, $77 for kids. I'm going in Aug with a couple of VERY obsessive 2&4yr old boys and figure we'll need 3-4 days. Sound like too long? One attraction mentioned in this post Ranked of 60 things to do in Carlsbad Legoland is getting bigger each season - it has the main park, an aquarium, and a new water park that opened two weeks ago. For kids at the ages of yours the amount of time you are going might not be enough! If you only stay for a day or two you will be too tempted to cram everything into those two short days. You'll be asking way too much of your kids - they'll become little pills, which will hurt your vacation. You can find the cost of Costco Legoland passes on the Costco web site - just type "Legoland" in the search field. this is also a good website listing all the various discounts for legoland, as well as other parks, just click on legoland.
Thank you so much!! The Costco prices as of today: 1-day hopper $64.99 (adult) 1-day hopper $57.99 (child or senior) The above are good for one day only and include Legoland and Sea Life Aquarium and one round at Wild Woods Miniature Golf. 3-month membership $69.99 (adult) 3-month membership $62.99 (child or senior) The above are good for 3 months and include Legoland and Sea Life Aquarium and unlimited rounds at Wild Woods Miniature Golf. None of the above include the water park, which is brand new. On the TV news last week, they were saying that if you bought a ticket for Legoland for the day, you could add the water park for $10 for the day. Edited: 2:47 pm, June 10, 2010 If you have AAA, you can save 10%. Just show your card at the gate. We also subscribe to the BrickMaster magazine which has a coupon for free child admission. I get Brickmasters also. What month was the coupon in? Just looking for a coupon for one day at Legoland.

Legoland California opened 15 years ago before mini-figures were imbued with personality and is, as far as amusement parks go, remarkably low stress. With more than 60 attractions, Legoland is part entertainment — there are mild-mannered roller coasters, such as Coastersaurus, and water-fighting pirate ships. It is part inspiration, with elaborate sculptures in Miniland USA created with millions of rectangular blocks. And like the Danish blocks themselves, which have become one of the most popular toys ever made, Legoland is about kids’ imagination. If your kids would happily turn your home into Bricksburg, Legoland is a must-do at some point during their childhood. Here are some tips for saving money (and precious time) so you will feel less like Bad Cop guarding your wallet from those seeking to empty it. (We'd love to hear your Legoland tips as well; please add them in comments!) The first thing to know about Legoland pricing is that it is not straightforward — think something between a predictable movie ticket and a wildly varying airline ticket.
Spend some time on the resort website researching different options. Make sure you buy at least seven days in advance as prices increase the closer to your visit dates. More than a week out, adult admission (not including the Sea Life Aquarium or water park) is $76, children ages 3-12 years old are $66. However, if you wait until the day or two beforehand, you will pay $83 per adult (same as the walk-up admission price) and $73 per child. Kids under 3 are free at Legoland, though you will have to buy them a separate ticket for entrance to the water park. If you suspect one day at Legoland is not enough, it is inexpensive to add more days, but make those purchases up front as well. You can also check the website of the nearby Costco on Palomar Airport Road as it sometimes sells discounted tickets. And AAA members can get reduced tickets. If you don't yet subscribe to the Lego Club Magazine and are planning your trip a couple of months out, make sure to subscribe to the bi-monthly publications, which include "Kids Go Free" coupons where one child can go free with a full-price adult admission.
Coupons include a discount code that can be used when purchasing online. For lodging, you could try a vacation package, whether at the adjacent Legoland Hotel, which offers early park admission and inclusive breakfast buffets, or the nearby Sheraton, which has its own entrance to Legoland. Because we have three children and often travel with extended family, we have many mouths to feed. So our family typically rents a house or condo with full kitchens near downtown Carlsbad. Besides Costco, there is an Albertson’s right off I-5 that allows us to eat in for all of our breakfasts and for many of our dinners. Staying near the beach and watching the sunset also allows for some nice decompression after a day at the park. Three websites we have had good luck with are VRBO, HomeAway and BeachFront Only. If you are staying off site, rather than showing up promptly for the park’s 10 a.m. opening, wait until around 10:30 a.m. to avoid the long line at the entrance. Also, by arriving after the mass of vehicles, you may find excellent general parking up near the premiere parking rows.
Instead of paying $25, you can end up pay $15 for general parking while walking roughly 12 more feet. The "Lego Movie Experience" exhibit at Legoland is a new and popular draw. Fans will queue up for more than an hour to see the giant city in Will Ferrell's character’s basement, the set on which the animated action sequences are based. Rather than waiting in line, we gambled on the timing and sure enough, by mid-afternoon we were able to walk right in. If your family has seen the movie, it is interesting to seek out details like the monorail or vehicles from battle scenes. But if you have not seen the movie or don’t particularly care about film staging, make sure you go when there is no line, likely later in the day. Unlike Disney resorts, Legoland doesn't have a FastPass system. So plan on waiting in line for popular attractions such as the Project X roller coaster. Lines may not look long, but on certain attractions such as Knight’s Tournament, which spins riders up, down and every which way, very few riders go at a time.
Over the years we've found that the best time to hit these popular rides is when everyone else is either eating lunch or back at the hotel during naptime. Those two rides are your best bets for older children seeking an adrenaline rush, and they appreciate when fewer strollers and small kids are in their way. You can also pick rides that have other activities around as you wait, such as Sky Cruiser, where you pedal along a track above Miniland and which loops the line around a kids' play area. So rather than being restless during the wait, children are building or racing LEGOs. Legoland’s official policy reads that outside food and drinks are not allowed. But there are lockers in the front of the park, and we have seen people storing coolers. In our four visits to Legoland, we have brought in water bottles and snacks with no questions asked. The staff at Legoland is very accommodating. Unlike some places you visit where you feel nickel-and-dimed, this park feels friendly.
We asked for extra cups so we could get more water and were not charged. You can also share meals and snacks. Go ahead and splurge on the Granny’s Apple Fries, and dip them in vanilla-flavored whipped cream. But share an order or two. Even the normal restaurant fare at the Garden Cafe or Walk 'n' Bowl Ramen is well-proportioned so splitting adult meals may work well for children. Bring a small dehydrated towel in your purse or bag: Many of the rides like Splash Battle in Pirate’s Cove and Aquazone set riders up to get doused. (It is usually by people you do not know, so don’t take it personally!) The Swabbies Deck and Water Works sections, where kids can play in fountains, are also fun if it’s hot, so it’s helpful to have something to pat them down. Alternatively you can pay $5 to get inside the family dryer. Families who have not been to Legoland before might wonder if it is worth spending the extra $10 for the Sea Life Aquarium. If your kids are big LEGO fans and that is why you are there, the aquarium is easy to skip.
