The first American Legoland theme park, in Carlsbad, California, opened in 1999 with attractions designed to entertain children between the ages of 2 and 12. The park covers 128 acres and boasts more than 50 rides. In 2011, a second park opened in Winter Haven, Florida. Lego-philes of all ages will have a blast at either park, riding the rides and examining giant Lego models up close. Taking the average family of four to either park can set you back hundreds of dollars, but with a little effort, you may be able to find discounted tickets for everyone in your group. Buy an annual pass if you plan to visit Legoland more than once a year. Purchase an annual pass at a ticket booth at your chosen park, or go to the website of your chosen park and click "buy tickets." On the ticket page, click "membership" and choose the membership level that suits your needs and budget. Pay online and print out the confirmation email you'll receive. Take the confirmation to a ticket window at the theme park within three months of purchasing your pass.

Call your association representative or visit the group's website, and buy tickets directly from the association to receive the discount. Present your airline employee ID to receive a 20 percent discount on up to six tickets at the California park.

Purchase your Legoland California tickets through this office, or present your military ID at a ticket window at the California park for 10 percent off your ticket.
