Where to get tickets to LEGOLAND Florida
There are always discount tickets to LEGOLAND Florida. Check out the special deals at Legoland Florida’s website first. They have great deals for one-day visits most of the time. I also have seen deals with a buy one adult ticket and get a free child ticket offer.
If you are active duty military, you get free admission to Legoland. You just have to redeem this offer at the ticket booths at the gate.
Additionally, you can also purchase discounted military tickets at your base ITR office, or at the Shades of Green Resort in Orlando.
These are usually a buy one-day ticket, get the second-day free deal for $63. You can also get a 10% discount for a one or two-day ticket at the gates with a valid military ID card.
Christmas at Legoland Florida
Holiday Shows at Legoland Florida
One of the highlights of Christmas in Legoland Florida is the 30-foot LEGO Christmas Tree Spectacular with interactive lights, music, and snow. The light show was so much fun and one of the best we’ve seen!
There are also other fun Lego shows to look forward to during the holidays at LEGOLAND Florida, such as the Very Merry Mix-Up sing-a-long show, Welcome to Holidays at Legoland featuring the Jingle Bricks, the Academy of Holiday Cheer interactive show and more.
Meet Lego characters
One of the best things to do at Legoland Florida at Christmas time is the LEGO character meet and greets.
During the holidays, you can say hello to LEGO Santa, LEGO Toy Soldier, LEGO Gingerbread, Holiday Unikitty, and more!
LEGO Photo ops throughout the park
One thing not to miss is all the LEGO brick Christmas decor throughout the park.
Take a photo op with the giant LEGO wreath, the LEGO Christmas Tree, and Santa and his sleigh with reindeer made out of thousands of bricks! Don’t forget to visit Mini-Land and see all the fun LEGO cities!
Legoland Kids New Years Party
During our visit to Legoland Florida during the holidays we spent an early New Year’s celebration at the Legoland Kids New Years Party.
From December 26-31, enjoy the Legoland Kids’ New Year’s Party, which features one of the most amazing fireworks shows. There’s even a fun dance party, special building activities, and more.
On December 31, you can even enjoy a brick drop at a kid-friendly hour! It was so much fun, and the best part was the LEGO brick-shaped fireworks, thanks to the 3-D glasses, which made it even more spectacular!
The Rides at Legoland Florida
The best part about visiting Legoland Florida is the rides and all the LEGO blocks. Legoland is the best theme park for younger kids. Just be aware that there are a few rides with height restrictions. Visit the website here for more information.
We visited LEGOLAND Florida a few days after Christmas and the lines for rides weren’t bad at all. We got to most of the rides, without waiting any longer than 20 minutes, except for the LEGO movie Masters of Flights ride, which took about 45 minutes.
The best part about the wait is the LEGO blocks to keep the kids busy. Most rides had Lego play areas while you waited.
*You can also purchase a FastTrack Pass, to skip the lines, which is probably best when visiting during the busier seasons.
