Alternatively, stay at a hotel with a Legoland shuttle service to avoid dealing with parking altogether. Legoland California does not allow any outside food and drink, but you can usually bring your own water bottles, granola bars and other small snacks that can be stashed away for those hangry emergencies. Exceptions are made for dietary restrictions and infants; call ahead if you'll need to bring your own special food.
Legoland's dining choices are decent by theme park standards. Expect kid-friendly fare such as pizza, burgers and hot dogs along with barbecue, ramen and a good salad bar. Bringing an extra set of clothing and a small towel is a benefit after a day at Legoland. While most rides do not feature water, there are enough rides that splash water that having dry clothes along is a wise idea.
Carry a backpack or rent an all-day locker near the entrance. Of course, on hot days, staying a bit wet can be a cooling enterprise! The Pirate Shores area has lockers for rent and family dryers available as well.
If hitting up the water park, swimsuits are a must and the water park has additional lockers. See next tip When the weather heats up, it can be so nice to slide down a few waterslides. The Legoland water park is smaller than a typical standalone water park but still packs a splash of fun. You can get an even better deal when purchasing your ticket in advance online and combining your purchase. Lego-obsessed kids will love the lazy river where they can build with oversized Legos while floating on a tube.
The waterpark is generally open daily June through August, and select dates in spring and fall. The other add-on attraction include is Legoland's Sea Life Aquarium. A dizzying array of combo tickets and deals for one or more days is available.
Check online for current deals. Be prepared that there are things to buy at nearly every turn inside Legoland and that your Lego fans may beg for new toys at every turn as well. The many Legoland stores have the largest selection of Lego and Legoland products found anywhere in the world, so it might make it worth a splurge. Take advantage of the ability to shop and pick up your purchases when you leave the park without having to worry about schlepping items around all day.
Minifigures can be a fun purchase for kiddos who feel they must bring home a souvenir. Build-a-Mini tables let you create your own custom minifigs. Buy three for a great deal and special packaging. Shop staff can also typically discern by feel which mystery-packaged minifigs are which if your kid wants a specific one.
Both hotels offer themed rooms with early entry to the park, plus nightly entertainment, a breakfast buffet and a pool. The hotels are mere footsteps from the park, which means if naps are still part of your daily itinerary, it's easy to take a siesta when needed.
The Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel has a great pool and a free shuttle to Legoland; it's just a 5-minute drive away. The Sheraton Carlsbad Resort provides a stellar location with its own entrance at the back of the park. This spot is also pet-friendly, which means Fido can come along for the fun though pets are not allowed in the park. Visitors looking to save on eating-out costs will love the Hilton Grand Vacations at Marbrisa for its full kitchens and suites. Is it like Disney, that you cannot bring a big cooler, but some snacks sandwiches in a soft sided bag is fine?
I would like to know this as well? Does anyone know if you can bring food into Legoland? So, has anyone contacted Legoland and asked them?
The pleasant young man on the phone did offer up a suggestion which makes good sense to me. Keep a cooler in your car with whatever food you want packed in ice. That was very nice of you to call Dr. I'm sure the OP and other poster appreciate your efforts. We bring food and water in all the time. If you have a stroller, put in in the bottom of the stroller.
If you have a bag, they'll check it, but not take it apart. So, even though you know Legoland does not allow outside food, you sneak it in anyway? What kind of example is that for parents to exhibit for their child? Do you really think it's an ok thing for you to do? Where is your respect and responsibility?
What makes it ok to defy this order?? Is it ok because it's "only a little contraband"?? And, here on TA, we're not supposed to encourage the breaking of rules set up by the attractions or hotels or restaurants. I expect that at some point all of these theme parks will come down a little harder on the "contraband.
Most times when rules are routinely broken the longterm effect is more rules, more enforcement, more time spent going through lines for everyone. The food takes forever to order. I don't think you can carry large coolers. Smaller, 6-pack size, can be carried in with water or snacks. We ate inside the park at the Panini Grill in the Imagination area and the price wasn't too bad. We had 4 adults and 2 children. I think we ordered 2 panini sandwiches, 2 salads, and 2 kids meals.
Everything was prepared fresh and satisfied our needs. The buffet might have worked well for us, but it had started raining and we were hungry so we went to the closest food area. Because of the rain, many others had the same idea and it was busy! Drinks are not included in meal prices.
I did not see any coolers, but we took in a backpack with bottled water and gatorade and some snacks. They checked the bag at security, but no issues with taking it inside the park. Yes you can carry coolers. I also bring extra spare of clothes for the water parks as well.
