My AWESOME DAY at LEGOLAND Waterpark

Hello! My name is Joseph, I’m 8 years old and I live in Tennessee. I'm back to share more about my vacation to LEGOLAND Florida Resort!

During our visit to LEGOLAND Florida, I spent a day with my family at the LEGOLAND Florida Waterpark. It was awesome!!!

My mom rented us a cabana. I was briefly able to check out the cabana before storms rolled in - it's Florida! Storms happen!

Our cabana included two loungers, 2 smaller chairs, a mini-fridge stocked with bottled water, a little table, a safe for our valuables, and 2 beach towels. We were sent to the pavilion to wait out the storms. No one is allowed near the water when lightning is in the area- SAFETY FIRST!

While waiting, we enjoyed a yummy pretzel with cheese sauce, a cool popsicle, delicious ice cream, and refreshing drinks from the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine.

After a while, we were able to re-enter the waterpark. Then, we went straight to the wave pool! I rode the waves like a pro surfer!

The wave pool is probably my favorite thing at the water park.

Next, we were off to Build-a-Raft Lazy River. I made a new friend while floating. We pretended the tubes were pirate ships and the floating LEGO bricks were our gold and precious gems such as emeralds!

I also played in the Joker Soaker play area. I loved the water slides! The enclosed water slide, Twin Chasers, was my favorite slide of all! I’d been wanting to try an enclosed water slide for a while and finally had the chance to on vacation!

My mom and I also built boats at Build-a-Boat and raced them. Overall, we had an awesome day!

There is so much to do at LEGOLAND Florida Waterpark, and I can’t wait to go back! 

Plan Your Own Day at LEGOLAND Florida Water Park

Joseph's day at LEGOLAND Florida Water Park shows just how much a family can fit into a single visit. There are places to play, splash, relax, build and race, making the Water Park an easy addition to a family vacation at LEGOLAND Florida Resort.

LEGOLAND Florida Water Park is located inside LEGOLAND Florida Resort, so families can make it part of a bigger day at the resort or plan their visit around enjoying the Water Park. Same day admission to LEGOLAND Florida and the Water Park is required for entry.

What Can You Do at LEGOLAND Florida Water Park?

A day at the Water Park can look different for every family. Some kids may want to spend most of their time riding slides, while others may prefer building LEGO creations, playing in the water or relaxing with their families.

Here is a quick look at the types of experiences families can enjoy:

The Water Park's current attractions include options for different ages and activity levels, from the gentle LEGO Wave Pool and Build-a-Raft Lazy River to slides and interactive play areas.

A Family Water Park Day in Florida

Florida sunshine can make a water park day especially appealing. But as Joseph discovered, Florida weather can also change quickly.

That is one reason it helps to think of a LEGOLAND Florida Water Park visit as more than simply riding water slides. Families can spend time in the water, take breaks, grab a snack, build LEGO creations and relax between activities.

If weather affects water attractions during your visit, follow instructions from LEGOLAND Florida team members. Water attractions may temporarily close when lightning is detected in the area. Safety always comes first.

For families visiting Florida with children, having several different types of activities available can make it easier to adjust the day when weather or energy levels change.

Is LEGOLAND Florida Water Park Good for Younger Kids?

Yes. LEGOLAND Florida Water Park has experiences designed for different ages, including a dedicated area for younger children.

DUPLO Splash Safari is designed for children 6 and under and features shorter slides, splash areas and larger than life LEGO DUPLO creatures. Children must be able to walk and sit upright unassisted to use the slides and must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Joker Soaker also gives families an interactive place to play, with slides, climbing areas and water features. Current guest information lists a 40 inch minimum height for its slides.

That means families with children at different ages can find ways to enjoy the Water Park together while choosing experiences that fit each child's interests and abilities.

A Water Park for Kids Who Like to Build

One of the things that makes LEGOLAND Florida Water Park different from a traditional Florida water park is the LEGO creativity built into the experience.

The Build-a-Raft Lazy River combines a relaxing float with hands-on building. Families can create their own LEGO vessel and then take it around the 1,000 foot lazy river.

Build-a-Boat adds another creative challenge. Located in Creative Cove, guests can build their own LEGO boats and race their creations through the racing channels.

For LEGO fans, these experiences turn time between water rides into another opportunity to build and play.

What to Eat During a LEGOLAND Water Park Day

Joseph's story also highlights something every parent knows: swimming and playing can make everyone hungry.

During his visit, Joseph enjoyed a pretzel with cheese sauce, a popsicle, ice cream and drinks from the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine.

Food and drinks can be an important part of planning a full family day at a Florida water park. Taking a break for a snack or meal can give everyone a chance to recharge before heading back into the water.

Families can also use breaks to dry off, reapply sunscreen, check the day's plan and decide which attractions they want to experience next.

Should You Rent a Cabana at LEGOLAND Water Park?

A cabana can provide a dedicated place for your family to take breaks during a Water Park visit.

Joseph's family rented a cabana during their visit, and his experience included loungers, chairs, a mini fridge with bottled water, a table, a safe and beach towels.

For families spending much of the day at the Water Park, a cabana can be useful as a home base between swimming and playing. It can also give parents and children a comfortable place to take a break from the Florida sun.

Cabana availability, amenities and pricing can change, so families should check current information before their visit.

LEGOLAND Water Park Tips for Families

A little planning can make a family water park day easier.

Current LEGOLAND Florida guidance recommends avoiding wetsuits and swimwear with exposed zippers or buttons on water attractions. Complimentary life vests are also available throughout the Water Park, with certain guests encouraged to use them based on swimming ability and height.

How Long Should You Spend at LEGOLAND Florida Water Park?

There is no single right amount of time for every family.

Families visiting with younger children may want to spend several hours playing in the splash areas, enjoying the wave pool and taking breaks. Families with older children may want additional time for the water slides, Build-a-Raft Lazy River and other attractions.

If the Water Park is a major part of your family's plans, consider giving yourselves enough time to enjoy it without rushing from attraction to attraction.

You can also combine a Water Park visit with other experiences at LEGOLAND Florida Resort. That makes it possible to create a vacation day that includes rides, LEGO building, shows, dining and water attractions.

What Makes a LEGOLAND Water Park Day Different?

There are plenty of places to cool off in Florida, but LEGOLAND Florida Water Park adds something extra: the opportunity to combine water play with LEGO creativity.

A family can ride a water slide, float down a lazy river, build a boat, race a creation, splash in the wave pool and then take a break with a snack.

That variety is especially useful for families with children who do not all want to do the same thing.

One child might want a bigger water slide while another wants to build a LEGO boat. One family member might want to relax while everyone else plays. The Water Park gives families multiple ways to enjoy the day.

A LEGOLAND Florida Water Park Day for Every Kind of Builder

Joseph's AWESOME DAY shows one way to experience LEGOLAND Florida Water Park, but there is no single way to plan the perfect visit.

For the adventurous builder, the day might be filled with slides.

For the creative builder, it might center around Build-a-Raft Lazy River and Build-a-Boat.

For younger builders, DUPLO Splash Safari can provide a water play experience designed with little ones in mind.

For families who want to slow down, the wave pool and lazy river provide opportunities to cool off and relax.

And for everyone, there is plenty of time to make memories together.

Ready for Your Own Awesome Day?

A visit to LEGOLAND Florida Water Park can be whatever your family wants it to be: a day of water slides, a relaxing float down the lazy river, a creative LEGO building challenge or simply a chance to cool off together during a Florida vacation.

Just remember Joseph's advice: Florida storms happen, safety comes first and there is always time for another awesome adventure.
