LEGOLAND California - Official 4+

Our kids (9, 7, 4) enjoyed Legoland a lot. The rides were fun, though none were thrilling. Everything was very cute and clean.
The waterpark was a little underwhelming. The lifeguards waited ages to let the next guest go down a slide, making the lines feel unnecessarily long, and leaving kids shivering in the coastal wind (that day).
The most disappointing part was the “showers”. I expected to have a solid (at least luke warm!), curtained shower, but we were disappointed to find the “showers” were public, outdoor, group showers that were FREEZING. We were not able to properly rise as we’d hoped, in order to re enter the park for more rides. Not mention, hauling wet towels and swimsuits around is less than ideal.
I would tell other to skip the waterpark altogether and just do Legoland.

It was really helpful to build a schedule for the day and check off the activities as we did them. Oddly, the checked off items appeared first, so we had to scroll down to the next action item. Also, we couldn’t plan our visit the day before very well as everything in the app reads CLOSED after park hours. So there’s no concept of what might reopen in the morning or stay closed due to seasonal maintenance. Would be helpful to replace this with “opens at XX time”. Same with rides that won’t open straight up at park opening- a number of rides don’t open straight up at park opening. We planned our day to start at one in particular (expecting it would have a long wait all day) and we were told it wasn’t opening for another hour. I wish the app had told us that - we could have planned better. Never did make jt back to that ride.

It would be so helpful to have Menus attached to the restaurant event so we can know for sure what we want before getting to the restaurant.

It would also help if the digital park map had text descriptions the way the paper map does, to help show where you are and what direction you are facing. The “walk to” feature was fantastic!! That was the best part of the app.

The whole whole family had a great time this trip. I was somewhat let down by the lack of St. Patrick’s Day acknowledgement- no green foods at the hotel, no special activities at the park. Though I’d say about 80% of the visitors were in full green clothing and ready to celebrate. Loved that many of the staff had some sort of celebratory accessory, just wish the park had done something too, maybe on the app too? Ideas for next year! Thank you for a great trip, I can never speak highly enough of the staff at all the Lego locations, they’re all so great!
