The beach restaurant is right inside the water park.
Destany K.

This is an awesome park. We went during off season and enjoyed the ample seating and water space. There were lots of lifeguards around despite the low attendance of patrons. The food is pretty good inside at the Beach Front Grill. Their options are a California burrito, turkey wrap (my personal fav) and a veggie wrap along with some kids items (pizza, quesadilla, etc.) There's also personal cabanas you can rent for $200 where you get a fridge and personalized service. Make sure you rent ahead of time, however. There are lots of chairs and lounge chairs with huge umbrellas over to protect you from the sun, but I expect this place to be packed during the summer so you may want to bring your personal handheld sun umbrella. Lockers are available and free life vests. Again, likely to go quickly during the summer. Highly recommend coming during off season, but make sure to check Legolands website as it isn't open all the time.

Not a bad place. Lots of activities that ALL include water. Don't forget your credit or debit card as the concessions don't take cash. We visited this anniversary day after 25 years since our last visit (like 2 months after first opening). Wow!!! A wonder how all of the trees have grown in to provide shade throughout the park. 25 years ago the water park wasn't yet completed, and I think the first ride had just opened at that time. Everyone back then was seeking shade from the same two trees. Funny how times change. Dicks

Cool in the pool

Worth the price of admission. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The place is clean and safe. You'll feel like you're on a far away island with the lush foliage and palm trees. The music is perfect for the theme. Very chill and relaxing. Tons of umbrellas and lounge chairs for everyone to enjoy. Be sure to get here early though to avoid the crowds. Bring sunscreen and a hat, maybe sunglasses too unless it's overcast. Please be courteous and be sure your kids don't poop the pool! Don't ruin the fun for everyone!

We had a blast as a family. Our boys loved it so much. One thing to note the waterpark you do have to have a tickets that cost $5 at the window of entrance for kids age 1-2. We didn't know that until we arrived. Its free for the Legoland dry park for that age range up to 3 I believe. Nonetheless, we had a blast and we would come again. So much to do in the waterpark itself that we loved. Super relaxing. Made easy for stroller rentals, locker rentals, restrooms nearby. The locker was reasonably priced. $16 for whole day. Had a wristband you scan to open the locker. Super easy to use. Would highly recc to any families wanting to add an addition to their family summer fun!

The water park is pretty fun for young kids. For an additional $30 per day, it is a good price. However, due to covid restrictions and reopening, there are few spots that are not opened. So check first. E.g. due to short staff, the wave pool was not open yesterday. I am guessing because of covid restrictions, the river with floats is not opened at all. Amazingly it is not crowded at all this week.

The best part of going to Legoland Water Park with kids is to have your husband be in charge of the kids.....the whole day....and you just chill there and sip your drink. We have been coming to this water park the whole summer and it has been an amazing experience. If you come early, there are plenty of umbrellas and chairs to choose from. The water is usually warm and we usually battle with our kids cause they never want to go home. Our favorite part is the wave pool where you get to enjoy and relax on a wavy pool while laughing at your kids getting slapped by the wave near the shore. They're the ones who like being tossed around by the wave. We also like the water pad where the water squirts or creates multiple water arcs, and kids just run around and get wet. This is the place where parents can just sit or lay under umbrellas while watching their kids. We rented a cabana once when we had family guests from Texas. There was a breastfeeding baby so we thought, a cabana would be great, and it was. the server took us to our cabana and explained everything. You really do not need to go anywhere to get food. You just text your server what you want and the server will get the food for you. We also got two free Legoland towels and a huge Legoland bag. We'll be going back as soon as it opens again for the next summer. Totally worth it.

The Legoland Water Park is a gem that we didn't know existed until this year. My boys are 7 and 4 and cannot wait until we can come back. They have so much to do, you can definitely spend a whole day at just their water park. Our favorites were the lazy river, the orange raft slide, and the wave pool. We love the Legoland Water Park.

Fun place for little kids, the rides are definitely fun but not as thrilling as the ones at Knotts soak city or raging waters. We came here with my niece recently and she had a blast. I was told by our friends that this place gets really crowded and busy on the weekends, so we elected to do this on Monday and the park was pretty empty. There was no lines getting on most of the rides, and we were able to get shaded lawn chairs no problems. The park is not very big, so you can walk around and not get lost. There are several restaurant inside the park for food options, but expect to pay an arm and a leg for anything. Over all super fun experience for the whole family.

The food at the burger stand is actually pretty tasty!!!
Julie T.

This place is so much fun. I've been taking my kid here for several years (we always get annual passes). Until last summer the water park was just very boring and the line for the lazy river was insanely long, because that was the only option for just floating about and relaxing. It was as if the Legoland Water Park was simply an afterthought. But last summer the Chima section opened and it made the entire place seem so much more spacious. It's a simple addition of a wave pool, and kid's' area and a burger stand, but these simple things make the entire water park section of Legoland much less crowded and way easier to enjoy. More people are hanging out at the wave pool area, where there are tons of chairs and ample shade (a bonus for Irish girls like me), thus freeing up the original water park space and alleviating the long lines a bit. So if you're going to Legoland during the warmer months and your family loves to get wet (without the sand, salt, and freezing water of the beach), I can highly recommend the water park.

OMG anyone with kids I recommend this water park. Worth every penny. There are so many different areas for you and your kids to play. You can stay there all day and just relax. I just took my sons to the waterpark for the 1st time post pandemic and loved it. I will take more pics next time to show off this place.

As far as water parks go Legoland Water Park is nice. The park is larger than what we expected with many areas to explore with different themes. They even have a water ride in Pirate Reef., and another tube ride called Orange Rush. There are a couple of water slide rides. The lazy river is called Build-a-raft River and some of the tubes let you build onto the raft with giant soft legos! They have a wave pool, which is nice - and is very mild waves compared to some other water parks we've been to. There are also plenty of areas for toddlers and small children. There was some parts under construction. They have changing rooms and plenty of bathrooms. I didn't eat inside this part of the park, but they did have a couple places to buy food. You can of course rent cabanas; and they appeared to have waitress service. It's a fun water park!

Cabanas are worth the money and make the park much more enjoyable. I'd opt for a premium cabana next time though for the better location.

Ask the Community - Legoland Water Park

As of August 2022, is HALF the park still closed due to staff issues? Or are they completely open now?

In July they reopened (almost) fully. We were there a couple of weeks ago and they did have the lazy river closed but the rest was open. I have heard rumors that as high schools and colleges begin to restart, they may run into issues again, but as… 

I see that 1-day tickets can include the water park, how many hours feel sufficient to enjoy this park but still have time to enjoy Legoland?

2-3 hours

If we have a water park / park hopper ticket, do we have in and out privileges? Or, can we only enter the water park once?

In and out is fine in my experience.

When will Legoland Water Park reopen?

It's open

Can I bring my own little inner tube? Not planning on going down any slides but my daughter likes floating in one since she can't swim.

Yes

Would you recommend this waterpark for kids 10+? Are there larger slides? Or is it more for little kids?

There are slides for everyone. They will like a lot of the attractions in the water park, but would be bored in the duplo area.

If the weather prediction is 65 degrees.... would you still take a 2 yr old?

The water is warm in most pools, like the kiddie area however it will be cold when they get out. I took mine when the weather was like 68 degrees.

Do they have showers?

Yes

The floatie for the lazy river is provided or must be purchased?

Provided

Do they let us bring floaties or life jackets for little ones?

You can bring your own but they have racks of different size life jackets near the front entrance to use and put back. Hope this helps! Have a great time!

When does it open spring summer or what?

Yes there open all year long check the website for each day and time

Do you have to enter legoland park to get to water park?

Yes the waterpark is at the rear of Legoland. You must enter the park first.

Are towels provided?

Nope. Bring your own, otherwise you'll have to pay $17 to buy thin, Legoland beach towels.

Is the water warm?

The kiddie pool is warm. The lazy river is warmish. The others are not warm.

Are shuttles provided from airport to park?

No

Or, in our case, we chose to wrap up the summer fun with something simple, nice, and close to home--so we headed to The Wave Waterpark in Vista. This local staple has been around since before I can remember, and returning as an adult brings back a wave of nostalgia. We walked right in without any hassle, and the restrooms and showers near the entrance were fairly clean and convenient. We reserved a private cabana, which I highly recommend for a cool, hassle-free home base during a long day in the sun. There are four water slides and all of them are a blast, featuring clear intensity ratings on the signage so you know what you're getting into before heading up. My whole family loved every slide, though surprisingly, my son said his absolute favorite spot was simply splashing around in the main pool. While slide wait times were smooth and efficient, the line to snag a free single tube for the lazy river can get jammed. We rented a double tube and a single tube directly, which saved us a ton of extra waiting. Standard theme park fare like pizza and nachos are available, but the real winning treats to beat the heat were the Dippin' Dots and root beer floats. Overall, it's a fantastic, family-friendly spot to cool down and pack in some quick summer fun. Planning a trip to the wave? DM us @advntrbums or @advntrbums_mb to find out which cabana locations give you the best shade and prime view of the park.

Before Premier Aquatics, there were plenty of chairs and lounge chairs in the shade, the pool was open during the summer 7 days a week, 12-5, and every Friday night was 'Family Nights' from 6-8. The lifeguards brought out a huge obstacle course and all the kids loved it. Not anymore. The pool is open less hours for recreational swim. M-Th 12-3. F-Su 12-5. There are way less chairs, and no more 'Family Nights'. It's pretty obvious why the rec hours are limited...Premier Aquatics makes more money off swim lessons than they do with recreational swim. They offer more pool passes at different price points, but none of them are through the City of San Marcos. You're buying it straight through Premier Aquatics. My kids still enjoy it, but....meh. 3 stars.

My first room was adorable. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I love the unique layout of the rooms. I also enjoyed the pool, complimentary member drinks, and the overall property. That first evening I called for a wine opener and was told someone would bring one up, but nobody ever came. I eventually went downstairs to get one myself. Not a huge deal, but unfortunately it became the first of several instances where I was told someone would follow up and nobody did. The next day was great. I enjoyed the pool and a fitness class and had an amazing bartender. I was having such a good time that I decided to extend my stay another night. That's when everything went downhill. My new room was EXTREMELY hot. Maintenance came up and said it was 78 degrees and that there appeared to be an HVAC issue. After waiting around 40 minutes I ended up sitting in my car because the room was so uncomfortable. The front desk moved me to another room and told me a manager would call regarding compensation. Nobody called. Later that evening I returned to find the replacement room incredibly hot as well. It honestly felt cooler outside. I was told they would send somebody right up to get me moved again. Thirty minutes later, still no one. At this point it was around 10:30 PM, I had already switched rooms once, and I wasn't willing to pack everything up and move into a THIRD room with no guarantee the AC would work that late at night. I decided to check out and find another hotel. Unfortunately, the evening manager made the situation even worse. Instead of being understanding, he was rude and dismissive and pointed out that I had previously agreed to switch rooms. Yes, I agreed before waiting over 30 minutes with no one having shown up. I was told they would check me out and a manager would contact me regarding a refund. Nobody did. I called the next day and was again told someone would call me back. Nobody did. I finally called again the following day and reached someone who resolved the situation. Initially, I was only offered a waived resort fee, which I found unreasonable considering I paid nearly $500 for a room without functioning AC, moved rooms once, and ultimately had to leave late at night and pay for another hotel. After several calls the issue was finally resolved, which I appreciated, but it should not have taken that much effort. It's frustrating because there is so much I genuinely love about Omni La Costa. The property is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, the adults only pool is fantastic, and they offer tons of activities and fitness classes. I've stayed here multiple times because I enjoy the resort. Unfortunately, the customer service during this stay was seriously lacking. Between the HVAC issues, lack of follow through, repeated promises of callbacks that never happened, and the attitude of the evening manager, the experience left a really bad taste in my mouth. I still think it's a beautiful resort, and most of my previous stays have been wonderful, but this particular stay was extremely disappointing.

My husband had just finished working six consecutive shifts at the fire department, and we were simply looking forward to a nice evening together. As we entered the parking lot, two men in a golf cart crossed in front of our vehicle. My husband honked, and there was later a brief verbal exchange about what had happened. There were no threats or physical confrontation from us, and we believed the matter was over. Later, while we were still seated at our dinner table, a woman we had never met approached us and began questioning us about the parking-lot interaction. She told us that she and her husband were club members, repeatedly referenced their membership, said she had never seen us there before, and told us she "didn't want any problems in the future." I cannot speak to what she intended, but the encounter made both of us feel intimidated, unwelcome, and extremely uncomfortable. We later learned that an Aviara Country Club member event was being held at the restaurant that evening. After dinner, we discovered that our vehicle had been extensively damaged while parked on the property. Carlsbad Police investigated, and surveillance footage from the property documented what occurred. An individual associated with the earlier parking-lot encounter became the alleged suspect during the investigation. Our vehicle ultimately sustained nearly $15,000 in repair costs. I am intentionally not identifying anyone or making any statement about guilt. I am simply describing what my husband and I experienced that evening. What has disappointed us most is Park Hyatt Aviara's response afterward. I personally contacted hotel management and was told that Hyatt was cooperating with police, which we appreciated. We were also told that someone from Aviara Golf Club management would contact us to discuss what happened. That call never came. I understand that a hotel cannot control the actions of every person on its property, and I am not assigning legal responsibility to Hyatt. My concern is how we were treated as guests after such a serious and disturbing experience. We experienced an uncomfortable confrontation during dinner, left to discover nearly $15,000 in damage to our vehicle, and had to involve law enforcement. Yet we never felt the level of concern, communication, or follow-through we expected from a five-star property. That is what has been most disappointing. We chose Park Hyatt Aviara because we expected exceptional hospitality and guest care consistent with the Park Hyatt name. Instead, we left feeling uncomfortable, unsupported, and profoundly disappointed. I sincerely hope Park Hyatt Aviara considers how guests are cared for when something goes seriously wrong during their visit.
