How Many Days Do You Need at LEGOLAND® Florida Resort?

While one full day at LEGOLAND® Florida Resort is enough to enjoy a bit of everything across the zones, stretching your visit to two or three days means you can explore the park at a more relaxed pace. This means you can take your time to ride all the rides and coasters, enjoy live shows and entertainment, revisit your favorite attractions and fully experience all the LEGO® fun. 

One of the best ways to experience everything at the Resort is by staying in one of our themed hotels, then the fun doesn’t end after just one day! 

Feature / Experience 1-Day Ticket 2-Day Ticket / Hotel Stay
LEGOLAND Florida Theme Park Comprehensive (focused pace) Relaxed pace (time for re-rides)
LEGOLAND Water Park Hard to fit in Fully covered on Day 2
Live Shows & Entertainment Selective choice only Can see all scheduled shows
On-Site Themed Hotel Perks Not included Included (Nightly entertainment, character meets)
