Welcome to the LEGOLAND Florida Blog!

Welcome to the official LEGOLAND® Florida Resort blog, your place for family vacation inspiration, LEGO® adventures, planning tips, new attractions, seasonal events and plenty of ideas for making the most of your time in Winter Haven, Florida.

You may already know that LEGOLAND® Florida Resort is built with kids and families in mind.

Well, spoiler alert: this blog is, too.

Since our first post in 2021, the blog has grown into a place where families can discover what is new at the Resort, get helpful ideas before a visit and find inspiration for their next Florida family vacation.

From behind-the-scenes stories and LEGO® builds to ride guides, event information, hotel planning and things to do with kids, this is where you can start building your next adventure.

What Can You Find on the LEGOLAND® Florida Blog?

The LEGOLAND Florida blog is designed to help families both before and during their visit. Some articles focus on what's new at the Resort, while others answer practical questions that can make planning a family vacation easier.

Here are some of the topics you can explore:

The goal is simple: give families useful information they can actually use.

Plan a Family Vacation to LEGOLAND® Florida Resort

LEGOLAND® Florida Resort is located in Winter Haven, in the heart of Central Florida. The Resort is approximately 45 minutes from the Orlando theme parks and downtown Tampa, making it an option for families who are already planning a Central Florida vacation as well as families traveling specifically to LEGOLAND® Florida.

A trip can be as simple as a day at the Theme Park or expanded into a longer getaway with additional attractions, seasonal experiences and an overnight stay.

The blog can help you decide what fits your family.

You can find guides about things to do with kids, ideas for different seasons, tips for visiting from Orlando and Tampa, and planning information for families who want to spend more than one day exploring.

Discover LEGOLAND® Florida Rides and Attractions

One of the best places to start planning is with the rides and attractions.

LEGOLAND® Florida Resort features more than 50 rides, shows and attractions designed around family play, creativity and adventure. Younger children can discover age-appropriate rides and play experiences, while older kids and LEGO® fans can take on bigger adventures.

The Theme Park includes LEGO® themed lands, interactive attractions, shows, character experiences, building activities and family-friendly rides.

The blog can help you answer questions such as:

• Which rides are best for younger children?

• What should families know before riding a particular attraction?

• What can you do at LEGOLAND® Florida besides riding?

• What is new at the Resort?

• How can families plan a day around their children's ages and interests?

Experience Galacticoaster

Galacticoaster is one of the newest additions to LEGOLAND® Florida Resort.

The indoor family coaster combines storytelling, interactivity and a LEGO® space adventure. Families board customizable LEGO® spacecraft and take part in an interstellar mission through the LEGO® Galaxy.

Because attractions change and new experiences are added, the blog is a useful place to watch for new ride announcements, updates and guides.

Follow LEGOLAND® Florida Seasonal Events

A LEGOLAND® Florida Resort visit can look very different depending on when your family travels.

Seasonal events give families another reason to plan a visit during school breaks, holidays and different times of year.

The Resort's event calendar can include experiences such as Brick or Treat, LEGOLAND® Christmas Bricktacular, Kids' New Year's Eve and other special events announced throughout the year.

Event dates, entertainment and activities can change, so checking the current information before your trip is important.

The blog provides another way to stay informed about upcoming celebrations and learn what families can expect during seasonal visits.

Find LEGOLAND® Florida Ticket and Annual Pass Tips

Choosing the right admission is an important part of planning a family vacation.

The official LEGOLAND® Florida Resort website offers different ticket and admission options, including single-day and multi-day choices, as well as vacation packages and Annual Passes.

The best option depends on how your family plans to visit.

A family planning one day at the Theme Park may have different needs from a family building a multi-day vacation around several Resort attractions.

Annual Passes can also make sense for families planning multiple visits throughout the year. Pass options vary in admission access, benefits, discounts and other perks, so families should review the current details before purchasing.

The blog can help explain how different experiences fit into a larger vacation plan, while the official ticket and Annual Pass pages provide the current admission details.

Stay Longer at a LEGOLAND® Florida Resort Hotel

A LEGOLAND® Florida vacation does not have to end when the Theme Park closes.

Families planning a multi-day getaway can choose from three onsite accommodation options:

• LEGOLAND® Hotel

• Pirate Island Hotel

• LEGOLAND® Beach Retreat

LEGOLAND® Hotel and Pirate Island Hotel are located just steps from the Theme Park, while LEGOLAND® Beach Retreat offers a different lakeside setting with themed LEGO® bungalows.

Staying onsite can be particularly useful for families who want to experience more than one part of the Resort without trying to fit everything into a single day.

The blog can also help families think through vacation timing, multi-day itineraries, seasonal visits and ways to combine a Resort stay with a broader Central Florida trip.

Get Ideas for Things to Do With Kids in Florida

LEGOLAND® Florida Resort is part of the wider Central Florida family vacation landscape.

Families visiting from Orlando can add a Winter Haven day or overnight stay to an existing vacation. Families coming from Tampa can plan a day trip or longer getaway. Florida residents can also use the Resort as the centerpiece of a weekend family vacation.

The blog covers ideas beyond a single park visit, including:

• Things to do with kids in Florida

• Family activities in Central Florida

• Winter Haven attractions and activities

• Florida school break ideas

• Seasonal family vacations

• Theme park planning

• Indoor and outdoor family experiences

• Multi-day vacation ideas

You do not have to have every detail of your trip figured out before you start exploring.

Sometimes the best place to begin is simply finding an experience your kids are excited about and building the rest of the day around it.

Get Helpful Tips Before Your Visit

A little planning can make a big difference when you're traveling with kids.

Before your LEGOLAND® Florida Resort visit, check the current park hours, attraction information, event schedule and other operational details. The Resort's planning tools can also help families with directions, parking, maps, accessibility information, temporary closures and other important visit details.

The LEGOLAND® Florida Resort Mobile App can provide updated information such as show times and ride wait times while you're visiting.

The blog adds another layer of planning help with articles about specific rides, seasonal visits, family itineraries, events and vacation ideas.

Built for Kids, Written for Families

When the LEGOLAND® Florida blog first launched, the idea was simple: give kids and families more ways to explore the LEGO® world.

That idea still guides the blog today.

Kids can take the lead on rides, discover LEGO® models, build and create, meet characters, explore themed areas and try something new. Parents can find practical information to make the trip easier, from choosing tickets to deciding how many days to spend at the Resort.

The result is a collection of stories designed to help families build a trip that works for them.

You might be planning your child's first major theme park experience.

You might be returning to LEGOLAND® Florida Resort for the tenth time.

You might be searching for things to do during a Florida school break.

Or you might simply have a LEGO® fan in the family who has decided that a LEGOLAND® adventure needs to happen.

Wherever your planning starts, the blog is here to help.
