    My son thinking he's really at Petco watching the Padres
    Arnel D.

    With so many things to see in such a small area, it's worth the time to visit. Whether it's Sofi, Petco or even San Francisco's Chinatown, you'll be amazed at the detail. I liked seeing the Hotel Del Coronado and of course the mini Las Vegas Strip. My son enjoys Petco and can probably stand there all day if it wasn't for me to pull him away from the exhibit. Whether you're a local or out of towner, drop by and take a minute to enjoy the beautiful attraction. All included with the price of admission.

    The most memorable place of the whole park. Very nicely done, lots of moving parts and sound effects, a few didn't work, communication elements were also present, kids loved it.

    Miniland USA in LEGOLAND California is really amazing on a macro level. Lego builders re-created famous cities across the United States - New York, New Orleans, San Francisco and Washington D.C. It's fascinating to see those cities virtually to scale as LEGOs. You can get fairly close to get photos too. I wish I could see it after dark if there is lighting too. They also created people intended at scale instead of minifigures. (I prefer minifigures but it's fine.) There are some animations and interactivity where you can push a button for music or to initiate something. I wish it were a larger area because it's exciting to see those cities in LEGO form from above and get a sense of where buildings are. Washington D.C. looked really accurate where the monuments are in relation to each other. Manhattan is amazing too down to the new subway station at One World Trade Center. As an adult, it's probably the most relevant part of LEGOLAND, though maybe not entirely worth the price of admission. Kids seemed to appreciate this area too though they couldn't quite relate to any of the locations.

    Stroll through lots of different cities..

    So great. Stroller friendly and there are some shady areas. Look at each exhibit, take your time. There is always something funny and cool. During certain seasons they have little hide and seek pieces that will win you prizes. During the holidays you can even see Santa and the elves.

    Easily my favorite part of Legoland. I just love walking around and noticing all the different model cities they've built here. The elements with water, moving parts and dedication to details really makes it special. It reminds me of the times I've visited each of these places and how I want to go back. Didn't expect that, but Lego has single handedly reinvigorated my domestic travel bug! I hope the keep updating and do upkeep of these, I'd love to take a leisurely stroll through the U.S. again.

    There were massive lego structures and small ones, all making up the most amazing exhibit I saw at Legoland!

He literally overheard us ask another employee for pop badges and went to the back to check for more for us and he came over to check which ones my son already had. Then, he magically pulled one out his pocket and my son was so happy! On average you may ask 5 to 10 employees before having success. He is kind, thoughtful and went above and beyond without even so much as being asked. Definitely deserves a promotion at the very least. He is the type of employee you want to keep forever. Truly an AWESOME employee!

Some of the interactive buttons were not working, which was disappointing because those small details are a big part of the experience for kids. The hotel, however, was a bit of a downer. We stayed at the older hotel rather than the Castle Hotel, and our experience was not as smooth as expected. Our first breakfast was particularly frustrating. Since we were staying at the older hotel, we had to go to the other hotel just to have breakfast. The line was extremely long and chaotic because guests from both hotels were combined. To be fair, the breakfast itself was good and had a nice variety of food for both adults and kids, but the overall experience of getting breakfast was stressful. On our third day, we waited for the pool to open at 10:00 AM. After waiting for about 15 minutes, we were told that someone would be called to open it. We later found out that, for some unforeseen reason, there was a delay, and we were directed once again to use the pool at the Castle Hotel. I understand that unexpected issues can happen, and I'm not trying to be overly particular. However, this is a huge inconvenience for guests, especially families with young children. Having to walk to another hotel just to swim, and then walk back to the room while the kids are wet and carrying towels, is a hassle that guests shouldn't have to deal with. If staffing is consistently the reason the pool at the older hotel cannot open on time, then it would make more sense to consolidate operations and have guests stay at the Castle Hotel instead. Both hotels are priced similarly, yet guests staying at the older hotel are the ones repeatedly being inconvenienced. We shouldn't have to pay the same rate while having to walk to another hotel for breakfast, use facilities at another property, and constantly go back and forth between the two hotels. I understand that staffing issues can happen, but if this is an ongoing situation, management should find a better solution rather than passing the inconvenience on to the guests. Overall, the park was still enjoyable, but the lack of maintenance in some areas and the hotel experience took away from what could have been a much better stay.

    The best part of going to Legoland Water Park with kids is to have your husband be in charge of the…read morekids.....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.

Despite by the time we're on the trip in April, it was going to be a cold - 60-70s and maybe rainy day. Tried to convince him otherwise but he made up his mind months ago, haha. Well it turned out that the son came out on our day but it was still cold, mid-60's. Unfortunately Chime park side was closed. Forgot when I sold this park initially to him that LEGOLAND is geared towards the younger age. As is the water park, the slides and rides are on the smaller kid age. So it should be perfect for son sons age of 5, but he has been to larger water parks and rode the big thrilling rides. So he had fun there, but he said it's bay ride slides haha. Then add on to that the wind chills and temperature. Our waterpark adventure ended pretty quickly. We did however make the rest of the day in the theme park end. By the way to go to the water park you need to also have tickets for the theme park as it's inside the theme park.

There's still the one in Irvine but it's seen better days (they took out the waterslides, the mini golf is kinda sad, etc.). This Boomers in Vista (San Diego) is awesome! -They have a 2 story arcade -They have bumper boats -They have race cars (need to be 58" to drive by yourself but they also have cars for 2 people) -They have batting cages -They have laser tag -They have a large free parking lot My favorite thing about this Boomers is: -They have the most amazing mini golf! They have 2 mini golf courses: 1) pirate themed and 2) castle themed and both of the courses are really well maintained and have really cool features and tons of different obstacles. They have water features, the pirate course is 2 stories tall, they have really interesting holes, it's not just turf they have imitation sand and water and "rough" - the mini golf is really great here! I will gladly drive down from Orange County to come here to San Diego County because this Boomers is great! Just be warned they don't open until 11am on Sundays.

    I'd say 3 stars is pretty accurate, but more like 2.5. This place needs some serious rennovation,…read morelike more than one bathroom. The only bathroom was upstairs, with a broken elevator. Want to wash your hands? Too bad. The carpets inside were disgusting. AC was wonky indoors. Snack shack was kind of gross. Just dingy. Everything needs a refresh. That said, this place is a descent spot to have some activities although its pricey for being overall sticky and out of date. You get mini golf, lazer tag, go carts, bumper boats, arcade, batting cages and a sunburn. And maybe hand foot mouth. Can we PLEASE get an out door bathroom and places to wash hands?! I really think there should be a family pass, but it's $50/person for unlimited activities which is pretty pricy, but I guess it's better than an hour in an escape room. For $150 you can get an entire annual membership to any museum....plus lunch. It's just super expensive. Probably won't go more than a couple times a year, but it's fine. With legoland passes I just can't justify the price....and the stickiness of it all. Pack hand wipes, and a pee bucket.
