Continue the Pirate Adventure at LEGOLAND Florida

Captain Brickbeard is not the only pirate you can meet at LEGOLAND Florida Resort.

The Theme Park features adventures inspired by pirates, treasure and exploration, making it easy to continue the story after your Captain Brickbeard spot the difference challenge.

One of the most memorable pirate experiences is Pirate River Quest, a family boat ride that takes guests through the legendary Cypress Gardens on a treasure hunting adventure.

The story follows a crew of LEGO pirates searching for lost treasure stolen by mischievous monkeys. The journey lasts approximately 20 minutes and explores the waterways of Cypress Gardens along the way.

Pirate River Quest makes a great addition to a pirate themed day at LEGOLAND Florida, especially for families who enjoy attractions that combine storytelling, exploration and LEGO characters.

More Than a Hotel: A Pirate Adventure for Kids

That can be particularly helpful during a multi day LEGOLAND Florida vacation. After a full day of rides and attractions, families can return to the hotel without completely stepping away from the fun.
