I was fortunate to be able to attend the SEA LIFE Florida Aquarium at Legoland's grand opening and…read moreget an exclusive first look at everything! It was truly an amazing and fun-filled experience. This is a legitimate, beautiful and impressive aquarium. They have everything except for the really big aquatic life, and it's all centered around being super kid-friendly and kid-accessible, as Legoland focuses on in all parts of their campus. They have a small section where you can pet starfish and a few other creatures after washing your hands. There are adorable manta rays, multiple breeds of sea horses, jellyfish, small sharks and pufferfish and all the classically recognized fish from the Nemo movie. In each section of the aquarium there are interactive touch screens where you can learn exactly what sea creatures are in each exhibit and read a little more info on them. There's a part where you can walk under and through the exhibit, and plenty of other areas for photo-ops. It's such an adorable and fun adventure "under the sea", and though it's centered around the kids, if you're an adult it's sure to bring out your inner child as well.

A nice addition if you don't pay extra for it (like with an annual pass), otherwise, not worth it…read more This is basically a small aquarium. It's new, so it's nice, but there's nothing else that special about it. It's definitely an add on if you're already going to Legoland. We planned to go if it rained at Legoland since it's all indoors. When it first started raining we headed over and there was a long line out the door. Everyone else had the same idea. At least the line is covered and where you park strollers is covered as well. We decided to come back. There was no line when we came back. We got in for free with our gold annual passes. The website says it takes about 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours depending how fast you move. This is accurate. With two boys under the age of 8 they were on the faster side. There are touchscreens where you can read more about the sea creatures that my kids skipped. There's nothing Lego related in here FYI. Just think of it like a small aquarium. There is an area that you can touch sea creatures, but it's pretty small as well. Being that there weren't many people there when we were the smallness of this aquarium didn't really bother me. Overall, I think it's worth it to get out of the sun or rain a bit if you like aquariums, but otherwise this is an exhibit that we will be skipping.

It's small, but has enough things to do to stay the whole day if you want to. We went on a Friday and liked that it wasn't crowded, but enough people and kids for our son to interact with. They have multiple rides, a rollercoaster, an air balloon ride, a boat ride and a dinosaur ride. They have meet and greets/times and we met George, our son was so happy to meet him! The area has a playground, a sand area with buckets, although I recommend to bring some of your own sand toys if your kids love playing with it, ducky pond where kids can catch the ducks with hooks, a bike race area. Our son had so much fun at the bike race area, he spend probably over 30 minutes doing that. There's also a small kids area that's gates, with tents and mini bike ride ons. Then they have a water splash area which is really nice and you can definitely spend quite some time there! They have a shop where we bought our son a peppa pig swim outfit, a cafe that looks like a cool diner inside, we love the colors and style of it! They don't have too many options for allergies, but you can bring your own food which we did for our son. My husband went in and had a pork sandwich, he said it was really good. If you really take your time there, do the rides multiple times ( we did one parent each so we went in multiple times ), do the show and meet a character, ride the bikes, play in the sand, make good use of the splash pad and enjoy a meal, and not rush everything, you can make a whole day out of it. There's enough to do there. For the summer, they have shade coverings around the park, which we really appreciate! We enjoyed our time there and will definitely come again!

This colorful disk coaster spins its riders backwards and forwards on a circular track repeatedly like a carousel on steroids. I was assigned a steed named number thirty-six, his steel mane is a handhold that most riders grip tightly before the ride launches into its continuous spinning gallop. The lack of stirrups adds to the excitement, but the motorcycle like sissy bar keeps you tightly locked against the saddle horn so if you dare you can raise your hands and scream as loud as you can without any fear of being bucked off. I'd say it's definitely one of the best rides in the park, today's wait time was just over forty minutes...

I went into LEGOLAND hoping for that classic LEGO magic, bright colors, fun details, and the…read morefeeling that everything around you was built from the bricks we all know and love. Instead, the property felt tired, worn down, and was lowkey very neglected. The maintenance issues were impossible to ignore. Paint was fading everywhere, the iconic LEGO bricks on buildings and sculptures looked washed out, and a lot of the park just didn't look clean. Dust was literally caked onto vents and fans, like they hadn't been touched in ages. It gave the whole place a dull, dingy vibe instead of the playful, colorful atmosphere you'd expect from a LEGO experience... The Ninjago ride breaking down with people stuck on it was another huge red flag. Rides malfunction sometimes, sure, but when the rest of the park already feels poorly maintained, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. And maybe the biggest disappointment: it just didn't feel like LEGO. Instead of that bold, creative, brick-built world, the park gives off more of a "knockoff LEGO" energy. Like the idea is there, but the devs did not execute it properly. Its giving tourist trap vibes... Just save ur hundred dollars and put it towards going to Disney or Universal... Like bro what do they even do with the money they earn from the park.. BUT THE STAFF ARE VERY SUPER NICE!! Overall, the experience felt underwhelming and outdated. With the price of admission, you'd expect a park that's clean, well-kept, and full of that signature LEGO personality. Unfortunately, this was not IT.

This is a weirdly fun ride…read more The ride itself seems a little outdated and old, but it's still a ton of fun. I was afraid when we were waiting in line that when we turned the corner there would be more line (like how it works at Disney), but nope, you turn the corner right into the ride itself. That five minute wait really is five minutes. One the ride you are shooting at green targets and if you get it something happens. I really like that, that instead of just points something may move or there's a sound. The shooting isn't very accurate, but I honestly wanted to ride this again just to see what more things would do. I did jump one or two times in fright when something unexpectedly moved, but my five and three year old weren't fazed. Our friends are a family of five and they were able to all sit in a car. This is huge since some of the rides only allowed one adult per child. Overall, I'm a fan and I would ride it again.

The vehicle can seat approximately 4 people, two in front and two in back. The ride will maneuver you through various obstacles such as skeletons, snakes, mummies, hieroglyphics, and much more. If you accurately hit the objects, you'll move the animatronics and special scenes will occur. The wait time wasn't too bad, approximately 5-10 minutes. Legoland didn't have the build station in the middle of the wait queue available, but the ride was super fun! My daughter enjoyed it!

Also, there's a big ol' Vegas potion, which I adore. NASA, with a moving rocket ship, Washington DC, Florida landmarks, California and so much more! The only bad thing is that it is the least shaded area in all of LEGOLAND and man, does it feel hot out there in the open in the middle of summer. But, there are those misting fans everywhere, which is helpful. Also, some of the models are older and faded, with interactive buttons that dysfunction, but it's still super cool and lots of fun! We go to Legoland all the time and while Miniland doesn't really change much, we always have to stop by and check it out.

Fun for young kids…read more This is clearly a ride for young kids, think maybe 7 and under. Luckily, that was the age group we came with. What cracks me up is we were standing in line (three adults with four kids, because the fifth kid was too short so she was with her mom) when I saw a sign that said one adult per tower. This is pretty inefficient when you really think about it, because if a child wants to ride with their parent they have to wait for an empty ride. So there's three of us adults determining which one of us is "lucky" enough to ride with the four kids. I ended up volunteering as tribute. You can see there were two empty seats with us since no other kids wanted to join us. It basically just goes up and down a few times. It's not that scary for the kids, but the little ones love it. Since I get motion sickness, this was also great for me. Usually the line is less than 15 minutes, but I definitely wouldn't stick around if it's more than that.

It's not super high and it's not super fast, so even the littles get a kick out of it. It's enough to be fun for the older kids, too. There's a slightly larger seat in the middle of each ride for an adult, if your little one needs you to ride along. It's fun and the line moves quickly. It's located by the other Egypt themed rides just past the carnival games. There's a misting fan right next to it, too, so... bonus!

Line can take forever, but the actual ride is fun…read more Our waitress at the Legoland hotel told us that this is one ride that can get long lines (the other ride she warned us about was Pirate River Quest, which is on a league of it's own for inefficiencies). When we rode this, I understood why. We walked over here as our second ride when the park opened, so it wasn't a long line yet. The reason even a short line might be long is you are dependent on how fast the people decide to make the boats go. You are in full control of the steering and the speed of the boat. Decide you don't want to move anymore? Take your foot off the gas pedal. Want to go in a circle? Keep your steering wheel turned all the way to one side. In this day and age where rides are usually pretty regulated, this was bananas to me. I was riding with my three year old son, who can't steer worth beans. Every time I tried to take over he'd yell "NO" so we ran into a lot of the siding. I did keep my foot on the gas the entire time so we wouldn't be the weak link. Hopefully everyone in front of you decides to be normal people and get through this ride in a reasonable time. However, if someone decides to go rogue you may be stuck waiting for a while.

Lego City Boating School is a boat ride, where you actual steer the boat throughout the course…read more Lego City Boating School has a similar ride to the Legoland California Theme park as well. This ride is located towards the Lego driving school, at the end of the theme park, towards the entrance to Legoland water park. The wait-time was less than 5 minutes early morning when the Theme park opened, but the wait time drastically increased towards the mid-afternoon, around 30-60 minutes. The boating school is a slow ride through the water course. You can see several mini Lego sculptures throughout the ride. Be careful though! Depending on whom is driving you may get a little bit wet during the ride! It's fun though. You should ride it at least once during your visit at Legoland Florida.

It was fun to try it and it's definitely a nice change from the park on a hot day. My son loved some of the crazy slides. There is a lazy river and lots of Lego water stations the kids can play with. That being said, there are a few downsides: the location is not ideal. It's all the way at the end of the park so you have to walk through Legoland and back when you go. What makes this even more tedious is that there are no towels provided so you have to get all that stuff yourself through the park. The chairs were a bit run down. Only one food booth with limited options and they weren't accommodating at all when I accidentally ordered the wrong fountain drink. I doubt I will come back. The hotel pool is more fun.

It's a wooden roller coaster and there is a height requirement, 42'' to ride with an adult. It's a fun roller coaster. It feels like a older ride since it's a wooden roller coaster. It sits two people per row. The wait-time varies through-out the day. In the early morning and evening, typically the wait time is less than 5 minutes, however, during the day, the wait time can get up to 60 minutes. I'd recommend riding this ride a few times early morning. It's relatively quick, maybe less than 30 seconds for the entire ride. You'll need to store your items before getting on the ride. The ride has several drops and turns. Your picture is also captured at the end of the ride! You can get a digital photo pass for 2 days, $30.00.
