Legoland: In the realm of colorful bricks

About an hour southwest of Orlando lies Legoland Florida in Winter Haven. The theme park was created from the former Cypress Gardens and is the world’s largest Legoland amusement park. Opened in 2011, Legoland covers an area of 60 hectares and features 14 themed areas with around 50 rides and attractions.

The highlights at a glance

Fun and excitement for children with parents

The adventure begins right behind the entrance: in the Fun Town area, everything revolves around creative experiences with Lego. Children take a seat on horses on the nostalgic Grand Carousel and enjoy their first ride. In the 4D cinema, regularly changing Lego 4D films with wind, water and special effects await you – fun for the whole family.

Duplo Valley is aimed at the youngest guests. Here the littlest ones can do their laps in the Duplo train, steer tractors through colorful miniature landscapes or splash around in the Duplo Splash Play. The Duplo Tot Spot is a safe play area for children under the age of 2 – with soft floors, giant bricks and plenty of space for crawling.

In the medieval themed area Lego Kingdoms, the popular roller coaster The Dragon awaits with indoor and outdoor elements. At Royal Joust, children ride Lego horses through a lovingly designed world of knights. Merlin’s Challenge provides plenty of thrills with a rotating wooden train – perfect for younger adventurers.

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 Lego Movie World is brand new. In Masters of Flight, you fly like Emmet on a sofa through fantastic scenes from the Lego Movie. Those who prefer to return to the ground will get really wet in the interactive Battle of Bricksburg – because water cannons are expressly permitted here. Unikitty’s Disco Drop, on the other hand, takes visitors to lofty heights with colorful fun and surprising spins.

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.

Adventure, technology and thrills

In the Land of Adventure, you can encounter wild animals and mysterious temples. The wooden roller coaster Coastersaurus takes you past life-size Lego dinosaurs, while Lost Kingdom Adventure offers a treasure hunt by laser through dark caves. The Beetle Bounce gives you a little more of a belly tingle when the mini freefall tower catapults its brave passengers upwards.

The Lego Technic Zone is the absolute highlight for children with a passion for technology. The Project X rollercoaster, now known as the Technic Coaster, goes steeply downhill and around tight bends. Those who prefer to be active themselves can pedal hard on the Technicycle to get high into the air. In the Build Test Lab, loose bricks are turned into speedy racing cars that can be tested for speed on site.

Pirates, nature and action on the water

The Pirates’ Cove water show is a park classic. Here, pirates with jet skis, cannons and daredevil stunts engage in a wild battle on the water – accompanied by loud laughter and astonished looks from the audience. Right next door is the historic Cypress Gardens. In this botanical garden, which existed long before Legoland, shady paths, tropical plants and impressive banyan trees invite you to take a peaceful break.

Lego City – the city of little heroes

In Lego City, children slip into the role of firefighters, drivers or captains. In the Driving School, they race through a miniature city district and even get their first Lego driver’s license at the end. At the Boating School, they steer small boats through the water, while at the Rescue Academy, whole family teams compete with fire engines to put out fires. In between, there are also live shows with well-known Lego characters on the new City Stage.

Peppa Pig Park as a neighbor

The Peppa Pig Theme Park right next door has been specially developed for pre-school children and offers age-appropriate rides, water games and interactive experiences in the world of the popular children’s TV star.

Highlights include Daddy Pig’s little rollercoaster, George’s dinosaur adventure and the colorful Peppa’s Balloon Ride. The park is completely geared towards families with younger children and can be visited either separately or with a combined ticket with Legoland – ideal for families with young children who want to experience both parks.

Cool off in the water park

The Legoland Water Park is located right next to the main park. With water slides, a wave pool and the popular Joker Soaker play tower, it is the perfect addition on hot days. In the Build-A-Raft River, you can even build your own Lego raft and float comfortably through the lazy river.
