Fun and excitement for children with parents
Right at the entrance to the park in The Beginning is the 45-metre-high Island in the Sky observation tower. From the top you have a sensational view over Legoland and you can see as far as Orlando.
In Fun Town you can see how Lego bricks are made. The Lego Factory Tour demonstrates this with showcases and real production machines. Or would you prefer something more classic? Kids can bet on real horses at the Grand Carousel. In the Wells Fargo 4D Theater, up to 600 visitors can watch a Lego 4D film.
Duplo Valley is for the little ones and makes dreams come true. They can drive Duplo tractors or Duplo trains through the beautifully landscaped garden. Up to two-year-olds may come into contact with the colorful bricks in the Duplo Tot Spot for the first time. Afterwards, they can refresh themselves in the Duplo Splash Play.
Lego Kingdoms is as medieval as the knights. As a highlight, The Dragon roller coaster offers a fast-paced indoor and outdoor ride. At the Royal Joust, children ride through the countryside on Lego horses with lances. Merlin’s Challange is a mysterious wooden train ride The Forestmen’s Hideout offers climbing fun for the whole family.

Miniland and adventure
The “Miniland USA” was created for the dwarf world of California, Las Vegas, Washington DC and New York City. In addition, Lego Star Wars, Pirate’s Shores, the Kennedy Space Center, the Daytona International Speedway and – how could it be otherwise – Florida enchant big and small with their ingenuity. Over 32 million Lego bricks have found their home here.
The Land of Adventure frees young and old from their longing for adventure. Dinosaurs can be encountered on a ride in the Coastersaurus. In the Safari Trek, you have to watch out for wild animals. The Beetle Bounce is a children’s freefall tower that catapults its guests up to a height of 7 meters. Mummies and skeletons help to find the hidden treasure in the Lost Kingdom Adventure. And Pharaoh’s Revenge is an interactive children’s playground with discovery potential.
Lego Technic is everywhere you look. In the Aquazone Wave Racer, a white-water ski ride, you can really splash yourself and the others. Then there’s a lot of screaming in the Project X roller coaster. Footwork is required when pedaling to move the Technicycle – in the air, of course. The faster you pedal here, the higher you fly. Technic Tot Spot is again designed for the little ones among us to build and climb.
In a time before Legoland Florida, this park was Cypress Gardens and so a themed area was dedicated to these beautiful gardens. You can still experience the beautiful and historic Cypress Gardens botanical garden here. Native plants such as azaleas and camellias have been combined with a range of exotic species.
The small themed area Pirates Cove is home to a pirate cove with ski adventures. The famous pirate ship Brickbeard Bounty, Miranda Valentina and her loyal Imperial Guard need help to be protected from the evil pirates. Captain Brickbeard and his band of pirates put the pedal to the metal on water skis and jet skis in a live water ski action show at Pirates Cove Stadium.
The world of Lego and Chima
In the small town of “Lego City”, you can learn about fire safety in a fun stunt show. At the Ford Driving School and the Ford Jr. Driving School, young and old can learn about road safety in practice. As a reward, road users receive a real Lego driver’s license. At the Flying School, you can do laps on a suspended family roller coaster and at the Boating School you can get your boating license. The Rescue Academy offers action-packed competitions where family teams compete against each other in fire and police vehicles.
The Imagination Zone is dedicated to research and development, accompanied by seven exciting Lego models that present the world. One of them is Albert Einstein’s head. There is free fall in the Kids Power Tower. State-of-the-art, computer-controlled Lego Mindstorm robots and the Build + Test area give free rein to the imagination.
Cartoon Network presents “The Lego World of Chima”. You can get wet on the interactive water ride The Quest for CHI . But with the power of the CHI, the water cannons on this boat ride can’t harm you. A 4D film experience and the Cragger’s Swamp area with waterspouts and bubbles complete the playful offer here.
The newest themed area is Heartlake City. Here you can whirl through the air on horses in Mia’s Rinding Adventure or interactively create your own music in the Heartlake Stepping Tones Fountain. Finally, there is a live show in the Friends tot he Rescue’ Liebe Stage.
Finally, in the Legoland Water Park you can relax from all the fun and creative experiences on numerous slides or simply in the swimming pool.
