Tips & Warnings

• Buying your tickets online means you can skip the ticket queue when you get there.
• Some of the hotels you can book at Legoland include the price of admission to the park as well as accommodation.
• While almost all the rides and shows at Legoland are covered by the admission fee, some activities do have an extra fee. These include things like face painting and rock climbing.
• For around the price of two one day passes, you can get a Legoland Membership that’s good for an entire year. If you live in the area and plan on visiting several times throughout the year, the membership is a great buy.
• Promotional offers and discounts do not apply to Print-at-Home tickets.
• Legoland does not allow visitors to bring their own food and drink to the park.
