This is, by far, the kid's favorite part of Legoland. It's way in the back, so don't give up if you can't find it! The line starts inside the building, so you're cooler and shaded on those hot, busier days. While you wait, a movie plays on the TV and there's a photographer set up to take a photo for their drivers license. You can purchase it after the ride, for around $16. They take in a controlled number of kids each round; something like 15-20 kids. Parents can go in with them at this point. Everyone goes into a little room, watches a safety video and can ask any questions at that point. Afterwards, it's ride time! Kids are taken out to the track, parents are asked to go to the viewing area. The kids can pick their car and when it's time to begin, they can drive all of the little "town." It's not super long; it could be longer, but the kids love it! The number of kids allowed on the track is low enough that there's not an issue with traffic jams, etc. The parent viewing area has benches for seating and offers plenty of picture taking space. Each kid gets a paper license they can write their name on, or you can purchase the plastic one, as mentioned before. We go to Legoland a lot; Driving School is a must for our kid ever single time! read more

Every time we come here the kids always run to this ride. I guess the experience of driving their own vehicle is stimulating to them. When you walk up to the school you see an insane life sized red Ford Explorer made entirely of Legos. Walking inside the building you and kids can take a photo for your "license". Kids get to watch a short Lego movie clip and than they show the making of the Lego car with trivia questions. Once you are asked to enter the driving school the kids are seated in front of a movie screen and get to watch a short movie about what to do and not do on the driving course. They answer a few questions from the instructor and than get to enter the course and pick a car (choices are taxi, police, or fire). The car ago about 5 miles per hour and the course is a few roads that wind and intersect with stop signs and traffic lights. The kids love the fact that they are driving on their own road and feeling like a grown up. Kids have been on this ride numerous times. Sometimes the cars can be a little squeaky and need to visit the shop but most times they are in good shape. Once the ride is over the kids exit through the gift shop and get a little business card that has Ford logo and says they passed the test. You can also go to the desk and pay $17 for a license which gets had their photo and name with a lanyard and holder so they can wear around their neck. read more

My boy liked this ride. He is not a thrill ride kind of kid. Not sure why he chose the police car with me being a firefighter. read more

Ford Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Cypress Gardens, Florida

This was a very fulfilling experience for both of my boys, different ages, different tracks. My oldest did the larger track for 6-12 year olds (thos track has stop signs and traffic lights)and my little one did the smaller track for 2-5 year olds. They both enjoyed their experiences behind the wheel. At the end of each, the kids get a fill in drivers license card but you can actually purchase a laminated card that looks a lot like a real driver's license card. It gives children a sense of pride an ownership for they've accomplish, I guess. The staff in and outside in the tracks are very friendly and helpful. read more

Before the ride there is a video for the kids to watch. Cool track to let the kids drive alone. The track time is short. Don't get caught at the red light. It seems to take forever to turn green. There is a fill in yourself drivers license Lego card (business card-like) at the end. read more
