Park Like a Pro

Set your GPS to One LEGOLAND Way, Winter Haven, FL 33884, and aim to arrive early enough to snag a spot close to the park entrance. Standard parking is $32, but if you want to shave steps off your walk (and save your feet for the park), spring for preferred parking at $52 (as of writing).

RVs, motorcycles, and accessibility spots are all available; just follow the signs. Families with infants should note the convenient baby care center inside the park, perfect for feeding, changing, or taking a quiet break.

Pro Tip: Snap a quick photo of your row number before you head in. After a full day of rides, shows, and LEGO overload, you’ll thank yourself for doing so in the Florida heat.

Put the Park Map in Your Pocket

Download the LEGOLAND app to check wait times, find shows, and navigate without missing a beat. Think of it as your personal brick butler for the day.

Dress for Florida’s Plot-Twist Weather

Check the forecast and come prepared for anything from sunshine to surprise showers. Comfortable shoes are non-negotiable if you plan to conquer the park like a champ.

Tips for LEGOLAND Florida During Your Visit

You made it past the parking lot, the stroller shuffle, and the sunscreen negotiations. Now comes the fun part: squeezing every last drop of LEGO magic out of your day while avoiding the dreaded mid-afternoon meltdown.

Here are some LEGOLAND Florida insider tips on how to do it like a pro:

Be First in Line and First on the Fun

Get there before the gates open so you can stroll right into the good stuff without playing “Guess the Wait Time.” There is nothing quite like knocking out Dragon Coaster while everyone else is still fiddling with their fanny packs at security.

Before you map out your must-ride list, take a minute to check the height requirements so there are no mid-line heartbreaks. Knowing ahead of time which rides your little builders can (and can’t) enjoy will save time, tears, and keep the day running smoother than a freshly snapped LEGO brick.

Play to Your Kid’s Strengths

Match the park to their mood. Toddlers? Hit DUPLO Valley before the nap monster arrives. Big kids? Head straight for the thrill rides and sprinkle in some build zones when you spot that “I’m getting tired” face.

Sneak in Snacks Like a Seasoned Parent

Bring a small, soft cooler with sandwiches, fruit, and bottled water, then claim a picnic table for a recharge. If you want to treat yourself, save room for park favorites like Granny’s Apple Fries or a scoop of ice cream — the perfect sweet pick-me-up after tackling a roller coaster or two.

Master the Ride Timing Game

Outdoor rides are your friend in the morning while the Florida sun is still kind. Save the indoor play like LEGO NINJAGO® The Ride for when the heat cranks up and everyone is looking for air conditioning.

Pro Tip: The 1–3 PM window in Florida is made for air conditioning. That’s your cue to duck into the 4D theater, or explore Miniland USA while the storms roll through or the sun blazes.

Work the LEGO Figure Trading Circuit

Pack a mini figure from home or snag one on-site and trade with any staff member sporting one on their badge. It is free, it is fun, and your kids will feel like they just unlocked a secret side quest!

Love Your Hotel Perks

If you are staying at a LEGOLAND hotel, the short walk into the park is worth its weight in gold bricks. Forgot the swimsuits? Need a midday power nap? No shuttle, no problem.

Make It a Full-Day Thing

This is not a “pop in for an hour” park. Between rides, shows, build zones, and the LEGOLAND water park, you will easily fill your day and still have a list of “next time” activities when you leave.

Pack a Swimsuit, Even if You’re Not Planning to Visit the Water Park

Take Advantage of the Parent Swap Program

Got one thrill-seeker and one too-small-to-ride sibling? Parent Swap lets both grown-ups get a turn without standing in line twice. Just tell the ride operator and watch the system work its magic.

What’s New at LEGOLAND Florida in 2025?
