I loved this ride! I was hesitant because I'm used to the Nemo ride at Disneyland which is super claustrophobic. This ride was not very claustrophobic. The only complaint I have about this ride is that it got kind of hot inside. Really cool break from all the outside stimuli. read more

Personally I really enjoyed this ride. You actually go into a real submarine and it takes you on a tour where you see actual sea creatures like sharks, rays, and tropical fish up close through viewing portholes. Along with the real animals, there are elaborate lego models and an interactive scavenger hunt so you have to pay attention. The only downside is that it can feel a little claustrophobic but the ride is only about five minutes long. read more

The fact that the ride vehicles are in constant motion means that even if there is a line for this ride, it will move at a decent pace. The ride itself is fun and a unique experience in that it combines a ride, hunting for objects, and an actual aquarium filled with tropical fish. I just wish it was a little longer and they did something to maybe make sure there's the same amount of fish or things to look at on both sides. I have found that the left side of the subs has less to see & that the fish tend to be on the inside of the tank (so the right side). It just sometimes feels like a bit of a lopsided ride experience. That said, this is a nice ride. We often find ourselves going on it multiple times when in the park. We just always try to get on the right side of the sub. read more

Deep Sea Adventure is by far my favorite ride at Legoland California! During my first visit, this ride blew me away - it was so nice that I had to ride it twice! From the moment you step into the submarine - which descends into water filled with real sea life - you feel like you're part of an underwater expedition. The theming is top-notch: colorful tropical fish, rays, and even sharks swim amidst LEGO-built treasures, sunken ships, and playful sea creatures. The mix of real marine life and LEGO magic makes Deep Sea Adventure an experience that's both exciting and enchanting. The ride also offers an interactive scavenger hunt. Each passenger gets a touchscreen to help "collect" jewels and treasure during the journey, which keeps both adults and kids engaged. What really makes Deep Sea Adventure stand out is how immersive it feels. It's not just a ride - it's a blend of aquarium, adventure story, and LEGO creativity rolled into one. It's also calm and air-conditioned, making it a nice break from high-octane outdoor attractions. PRO TIP: Sit near the windows if you can for close-up views of the fish. read more

This was a favorite on a recent trip to Legoland, especially with rainy and cold weather! You get into a submarine and navigate throughout the water, and see sea creatures. Along the way, you get to hunt for fun treasure, from gems to a treasure chest to art and more. My kids had a blast looking for treasure and tapping the corresponding item on their screens. The lines for these move at a decent pace, since submarines are constantly coming and going. read more

Got in at a good time and didn't need to line up. Very interactive overall. Kids saw loads of cool fish, sting ray (giant), small shark, and a lot of treasure set to be found. You can check off items from the screen. It was pretty cool for kids. My little one asked to revisit here after. Big loves from little kids read more

This was one of my 8 year old sons favorite things to do at Legoland. The journey is a short one but magical for young kids to explore the underwater and feels like you are in a submarine exploring under the sea. Views are great and the ride is comfortable. The line was reasonable and this is a ride I recommend as a parent. 5 stars! read more

Such a fun experience! The line was 20-30 minutes long on a Saturday, and the ride was around 10 minutes long. You got to go inside a real submarine (holds about 10 people), and your sub goes through the real aquarium with live fish, sharks, and a huge sting ray! Fun for all ages, as long as you arent severely claustrophobic. You have room to move around inside, but it is dark and if you are claustrophobic at all, i just recommend skipping. Otherwise, it was very peaceful and fun! read more

When the line isn't too long and crowds are minimal, this is a great spot to escape the heat and take a load off. Kids love searching for all the scavenger hunt items and seeing the real fish through the windows. read more

Hands down the best ride in all the Land. Tip: ride opens at noon, far later than the rest of the park. Don't sleep on the Golden Window to line up. Prepare to queue up even prior to opening. If you miss this timeframe, don't be discouraged. Turnover is high and the well-managed line moves quickly. The interactive underwater attraction is definitely worth the wait. More so than the Finding Nemo submarine ride at Disney, complete with live sea critters big and small. read more

Basically an underwater moving aquarium. Tons of fish and sharks. Lasts about 5 minutes, but it a calming experience. read more

I definitely liked this ride a lot more than I thought I would! You'd see lots of lego props under the water with the fish, sharks, etc. There's also an interactive activity that has you click the artifact you find underwater, which definitely motivated me to really pay attention to everything I saw. Definitely a fun and engaging underwater aquarium with lego aspects to it! read more

New for 2018 is a Underwater Adventure within Legoland which is in between Star Wars Miniland and Castle Hill. This new feature is a submarine ride which actually sits halfway above the waterline but it does feature real live Salt Water Fishes, sharks and rays. This is not part of Sea Life. The ride is about finding treasures and it sits roughly 12 people aft and fore, 6 each on port and starboard. So be sure to listen and look for the clues on your small monitor. On a weekday the lines is short and the ride is quick which is about a 4-6 minute ride. The ride doesn't stop so you have to quickly board the submarine quickly, so don't lose your footing. It's not slippery nor wet but just be careful boarding and offboarding. Also watch your head above as the door may tap those individuals that is a bit taller. If you are claustrophobic I would not recommend this ride as it can feel a bit tight and some of the decor in the water is rather close. So it can be feel even more enclosed in. Other than that it's a fun ride even for 2 and half year olds who can sit and behave. But for those toddlers who just can't sit still, fussy and doesn't have any patience and is quickly distracted or have short attention span. It's best to have to go at near the end of park hours or the first thing you do once it opens. Have fun and remember. Don't disturb the Lego pieces in Miniland!! read more

I remember once saying that the submarine ride at Disney would be way cooler with real fish and not just projected animation (yawn.) Well I guess Legoland was listening because they have a submarine ride complete real fish, rays and sharks! I loved seeing them all puttering around our ride. One of the biggest rays I've ever seen is out and about too. Hope you spot him. The Lego creations are in abundance and the ride is interactive with a treasure hunt of sorts. Photo op at the front and a touch screen build a fish at the end. Came on a slow day and we rode our sub around 3x in a row and still had to boot the kids off. read more

Legoland Deep Sea Adventure - Post ride fun - Amusement Parks Near Me - Carlsbad, California

This particular ride/attraction was probably my lil one's favorite of the very few that she was able to get on. It is very interactive and there are a lot of things to see and loo for on this lil adventure. During the ride you are supposed to look through the port holes and look for a variety of different items that are specified on the screens throughout the vessel. I think there was room enough for 4-5 families inside. I thought it was going to be really uncomfortable and cramped but after they closed the door it was easier to kinda spread out and be a bit more comfy. The ride isn't a real short one, although I feared it would be. One thing that I wasn't too pleased with, in the park, was that they do not allow for those who are handicapped to make arrangements to get onto the ride at a later time, like making a reservation for a return, sort of like a fast pass at another popular park that I won't mention. That made things pretty tough, especially because this particular person in our party was having a tough time with being at the park and it being both hot and sorta humid. But anyway, back to the ride, it was a lot of fun and I can definitely see why people rush to this attraction right when they get there. It's fun for everyone and it really is done well. I would definitely like to get back on this ride. So, you may wonder why one less than the maximum stars. I did NOT like that they were NOT AT ALL willing to help us to board. My lil one needs to be carried as she cannot physically walk down those really steep steps into the submarine. The employee that was "helping" to load passengers onto the ride didn't seem to care and also didn't seem to be all that interested in the safety of those on board. That was something that really bothered me. I couldn't believe that they were so nonchalantly boarding people not encouraging them to be careful while boarding, not helping them up and down the narrow and steep stairs. I can't even tell you how much I was freaking out because I was worried that my lil one was going to go tumbling down those steps. It was horrible. I'm glad that she had a great time on the ride but the getting on and off was terribly rough. read more

We went on this ride 3 times, and it's pretty fun because we get to look for lost treasure, gems, swords, crowns, artwork, and pearls! It's interactive in the submarine, as you look out into the water and possibly even spot some reef tip sharks. The line can get long, our last visit was 40 minutes, but the first couple times was like 10-15 min wait so it just depends on the day. I think the seats furthest away from you, as you enter the submarine has the better view of treasures, etc.. That would be the seats on the right side of the submarine, as it goes clockwise. read more

Love this ride! Perfect for all ages unless your not a fan of small confined spaces lol. But I love how they have the interactive game of searching for things. And the variety of the sea life is great. It's my sons favorite ride. The perfect time to go is the last 2 hours of the park hours for quick rides. You also have a photo opportunity before the ride and of course the store at the end. read more

One of the better rides at Legoland, and easily the best interactive ride. It's a short, single loop around the moat that contains all the Lego subs but it was fun. The subs are roomie enough for the tallest adults and the biggest surprise was that there were props mixed with real live sea life in the water. Plus it keeps you engaged by having a treasure hunt activity on the screen for each seat. Since it's such a low key yet fun ride, there were a lot of strollers here - parents took even the smallest kids on the ride. Come one, come all! read more

Not worth the wait! And we were lucky our wait was only a half hour. By the time we finished the too brief of a ride, the wait was over an hour. What a rip-off. It's just not a very interesting or intriguing attraction. read more

Dear Legoland California and Merlin Entertainments, this 1-Star rating has nothing to do with the quality, or the experience, of the ride. I am giving a 1-Star in protest for the sharks, and other fishes, that are in captivity for the purposes of entertaining guests to your park. I couldn't help but notice that the enclosure for the animals appear really small and I am concerned that this is having a detrimental effect on the well-being for all of the animals. I enjoyed the ride experience but I was still conflicted on a ethical perspective. I strongly suggest that your park will consider using animatronics instead of live animals. read more

We went on the last Friday of November 2018.They didn't have a big line so we walked right in, no wait. Everything was fine until the ride ended and our door wasn't opening. About 5 minutes after the ride ended and we were sitting there wondering what was going on an employee opened the door and peeked in... he stated that we were stuck and would have to wait until the techs came to fix the issue, he stated that they had been called and were on the way... that if we needed to talk to someone that we could press a blue button that was near the door and they would answer us on the speaker. He closed the door and we waited, it began to get hot in the submarine, I'm guessing a/c turned off since they were working on it.Safe to say we did not like or enjoy sitting in a hot submarine that long. It seemed like we waited forever, it was really about 10- 15 minutes or so after the employee had let us know what was happening. When we finally began to move and where let out of the ride, we were given a front of the line pass for 1 ride, for the inconvenience. I wasn't sure what the point of that was... we went during the week there were no lines for any rides so we didn't use it. We also didn't get a "we are sorry or are you guys ok". The girl just handed us a ticket and said heres a ticket for front of the line for 1 ride, thanks. read more

Yay, we are fans! It's a submarine ride, which completely convinced my kid that we were indeed diving deep into the sea. Lots of live sea life, plus oodles of lego creations. I thought the treasure hunt component was unnecessary, but it was fun to have a quiet-ish ride and relax while looking at various fish and rays and sharks. read more

We had an amazing time with our family. This was probably the 4th time for one child, the 2nd time for another child who is three years old and they just had a ball with everything that they did at the park. The staff is amazing, courteous at the LEGOLAND Hotel and the staff inside the park are courteous and amazing as well. One particular individual Tiffany, who helps with the mini-figures where kids can trade, was just amazing! We were able to follow her throughout the park at different times, and our boys were able to trade there a lot of min- figures , she was just an awesome individual and courteous and patient with these kids. I know my boys each time took some time with her looking through her collection and she would give them a little history about each character and really give them the time to look in trade. Also, another individual that we encountered that made an impression on us was Murphy at the sea life. What, another individual that we encountered. She noticed it was our sons birthday, and made him feel very special, and even gave him a gift! Who does that? What an amazing crew Legoland has working for it! We love this place and have upgraded to season passes and can't wait to return. read more

It was fun! Nice way to hang out for an hour or two. You can access this place without going into Legoland itself.
