Does anyone know if the local Costco sells tickets to Legoland and how much they charge? One attraction mentioned in this post Ranked of 60 things to do in Carlsbad I don't remember if they do but a quick call to the store should get that answer for you website they are really offering a very good deal for Legoland tickets right now. However, as said, you would need to contact the specific stores in the area to see what they may have in stock, however, there are never any guarantees of tickets being available for your visit if they have them. You also may want to look at the Mousesavers website which lists current discounts on attractions for you ( they dont sell tickets). On the Mousesavers website, there appears to be somewhat comparable discounts to what may be offered at Costco. They would also list any discount on the website to the San Diego Zoo. It also appears you may be visiting the attractions listed on the Southern California City Pass. Just in case you were not aware of it, it offers a 3 day Disneyland Parkhopper ticket, 1 day Seaworld ticket, and 1 day Universal Studios ticket.
Even if you can only use the 3 day Parkhopper and Seaworld ticket is still often the best value for you. And, if you live in Canada, you can get them online thorugh the Costco Canada website for a great price making it even a better deal at $289 for adults. Costco's 3 day SD pass includes Legoland. The Legoland ticket at Costco is a 2 day ticket @ $79.99 each and IS available at most So Cal Costco locations, including the Carlsbad location. If you're only planning on going to Legoland for 1 day, you may want to consider buying a coupon off Ebay. I bought a Legoland Coupon from this Seller and got it shipped to me in Vancouver for under $5 including shipping (takes about 2 weeks): I know it says its for the PTA but they didn't care when I went to purchase the tickets at the ticket window. The coupon is good for 1 free parkhopper ticket with the purchase of a full price one plus $10 off additional tickets. It ended up costing $162.00 for myself, my wife, and my 5 yr old.
($91+$71 - Walk-up pricing) The coupon is valid until Dec 31, 2013 One destination mentioned in this post Thank you for all your helpful replies. We are going to get the Southern California City Pass from Costco for Disneyland and Sea World. I am just trying to find the best price for San Diego Zoo and Legoland. We are going in August, so we'll probably spend two days at Legoland so that we can visit the waterpark as well. So far it looks like the 7-day advance purchase on their website is the best price at $76 for adults and $66 for kids. for the best deals for parks in Southern California. I am off to COSTCO sometime in the next few days (The one in San Diego on Morena Blvd.) and I will make sure and check and see what they are offering. Full disclosure, I do provide info to MouseSavers, but unpaid. (Mary who runs the site used to live in San Diego and happy to say a friend of mine). Also, MouseSavers is pretty much ad free. -:- Message from TripAdvisor staff -:-This topic has been closed to new posts due to inactivity.

We visited LEGOLAND California twice in the same year because our LEGO loving son loved it so much. The rest of us are not quite as excited about LEGOS, but we all had a lot of fun at this colorful and innovative theme park near San Diego, California. Wondering what you need to know to make your trip to LEGOLAND awesome? I have a 6-year-old son who is passionate about LEGOS and an 8-year-old daughter who isn’t. Both children had a great day at LEGOLAND. The rides are perfect for their ages, and even visitors with a casual interest in the iconic bricks will be delighted and fascinated by LEGO sculptures throughout the park. Teens and adults will find no serious thrill rides at LEGOLAND. Most of the rides are built for guests of all ages, and some require adults to ride with young children. Some rides have minimum height requirements of 34-42 inches.
However, even the roller coasters are tame by most theme park standards. My kids loved them. There is no good reason to pay full price at the gate for your tickets at LEGOLAND California! There are several easy ways to get discounted and even FREE tickets. Want to know how? Join our FREE travel deals email club and we’ll send you this exclusive post: 3 Ways to Save on LEGOLAND California Tickets. Despite Spring Break crowds, one day was enough to get our fill of LEGOLAND, but we didn’t have time to ride every ride or set foot inside either LEGOLAND Water Park or SEA LIFE Aquarium. The 1-Day pass we purchased included a visit to the aquarium, and allowed us to come back to only the aquarium the next day. The LEGOLAND Hotel is located next to the park’s front gate, and is like no other hotel you’ve ever seen. Imagine disco balls in the elevators, bunk beds in the rooms, and colorful LEGO play everywhere! During the busy seasons, the park officially opens at 10:00 a.m., but the turnstiles open at 9:00 a.m. and some of the rides open at 9:30 a.m.
We arrived at the ticket window before 9:00, bought our tickets and walked into the park without waiting in line. Guests who arrived a couple of hours later were not so lucky. Here is a link to LEGOLAND California’s Opening Days and Hours calendar. Find out what time the park opens on the day you will be there. We had 30 minutes to browse the gift shop, which is the biggest and best in the park (see Tip #6), and then rode the Coastersaurus and Safari Trek while wait times were relatively low. If you are not near the front of a line at 9:55 a.m., walk directly to the back of the park and hit the headliners in Pirate Shores, where several water rides are located, or Castle Hill, or scurry to another of your top priority rides. You will not see shorter lines for the rest of the day. Who wants to carry a bag full of souvenirs around the park all day? Use LEGOLAND’s Package Pick-up service. The souvenirs you buy early in the day will be transported to the park exit for you to pick up before you leave.
After the first hour, the long waits for major attractions were the only thing about LEGOLAND California Resort that disappointed me. The lines didn’t look so long, but they moved surprisingly slowly. I think that Disneyland could have moved twice as many people through the lines in the same amount of time. LEGOLAND California Resort does provide play areas full of LEGOS near the lines of their most popular rides so children can play while parents wait in line. They also provide pagers for some rides, so you don’t have to stand in line. By lunchtime, I decided that I didn’t care how many rides we rode and I started enjoying the things that make LEGOLAND different from other theme parks. An area of the park we particularly enjoyed was Fun Town. There are no major rides in Fun Town, so it was less crowded, but completely charming. At the Fun Town Police and Fire Academy, families can compete against each other by moving their hand-powered fire trucks down a lane, shooting a target with water guns and powering back to the finish line.
This was perhaps my favorite “ride” in the park. The LEGO Factory Tour and the Adventurer’s Club in Fun Town were interesting and creative walkthrough experiences. At the nearby LEGO Club, LEGO lovers can build with LEGOs and purchase bricks by the pound. My children also enjoyed the XBOX Family Game Space. My son loves playing LEGO video games at home, and in the Game Space he was able to try out games that we don’t own. We didn’t spend much time here, but it was a fun diversion while my husband held our place in the Chima 4D Movie X-Perience line next door. The 4D Movie was my son’s favorite part of LEGOLAND California Resort. If you’ve seen 4D movies at other parks, this will probably be similar, and of course, it’s an ad for the LEGO kits that are sold in the gift shop. However, it was the only high-priority attraction on my son’s list and he was not disappointed. There are also several playgrounds in the park where children can run and play freely.
I wish we’d taken more time to enjoy these. One of the nicest parts of my day was relaxing at a patio table at the Garden Restaurant. This is a counter-service restaurant that offers fresh, healthy fare and great views of Miniland. When we finally walked into Miniland in the mid-afternoon, my LEGOLAND experience changed from “It’s okay” to “Wow, this is cool!” Imagine the landmarks of Washington D.C., New York City, Las Vegas, San Francisco and New Orleans made of LEGOS. Nearby, you’ll find LEGO busts of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Queen Elizabeth II, William Shakespeare and other famous faces. Around the corner, every major planet from the Star Wars movies is depicted in LEGOS. As parents, we had to divide and conquer in Miniland. My son would not be torn away from examining the Star Wars worlds he knows well, while my daughter was fascinated by the cities. These are a LEGOLAND speciality. Apple fries are french-fry sliced apples, deep fried and tossed in cinnamon sugar.
Vanilla whipped cream is provided for dipping. Find this sweet treat at Granny’s Apple Fries in Castle Hill. One order was not enough for our family of four, but two was plenty. Tip: Granny’s Apple Fries is located next to a castle-themed playground. This is your chance to take a snack break and let the kids play! This one is just for kids. Many LEGOLAND employees wear LEGO minifigures on their badges, and they will trade if you give them one of your minifigures. If you can’t assemble a minifigure from the LEGO pieces between your couch cushions at home, there is a shop where you can build custom minifigures just inside the entrance to LEGOLAND California. At most theme parks, riding as many rides as possible is usually my top priority. That’s what we paid for, right? The rides at LEGOLAND are fun, but I enjoyed our day a lot more when I allowed myself to experience the whole park, instead of just one aspect of it. We had hoped that this visit to LEGOLAND would be timed perfectly for the ages of our children, and it was.
