Legoland Water Park
add photosLegoland's new water park opened June 2010. Geared for kids 2-12, this 5.5 acre water park has a 45 foot tall water slide tower, a toddler waterplay area, a lazy river, and an Imagination Station where kids can build dams, bridges and more with none other than Legos.
The waterpark is part of Legoland but there is a separate admission price to enter. You must purchase admission to Legoland to visit the waterpark.

"Its Fun"
1 Senior, 2 adults and 3 kids - 4,6,8. Went here in Oct 2011 - we only spent 3 hours here due to the weather but it was fun. Typically waterpark, slides, tube rides but the tube ride where you put lego blocks on was fun for the kids. They also have double tubes and tubes where it blocks you so you don't slide right thru the hole for little ones. Lots of Lifeguards everywhere. At the end we spent $5 on the family dryer to dry and warm up.

"Fun for Lego Lovers"
Lego Land is alot of fun for children who are 4.5and older. I have been taking my oldest (4.5yrs old) for the past year but he hasn't really enjoyed it til now. He's really into Legos and he's just now at the age where he's really into the kids and games. Don't get me wrong, there's things for the younger ones but not as much. Summer time is awesome with all the water to cool down!

"Awww, water!"
My 17 month old loves the water and this was the ultimate relaxation for her. She floated down the river like a champ. We entered a single tube only to be told we needed a double. Had to wait on the side line with a lifeguard till a double came along. Joyce laid on her back in her life jacket the entire wait like that is what she was supposed to do.
For my water loving child this park was great. She enjoyed all the water(falls), slides, pools and the make shift beach.
We went at about 4 in the afternoon and left between 6 and 7 to enjoy some of legoland. This time was more than enough for us.

"Totally agree with previous reviewers"
I feel that both the reviews posted are right on the money. My family just got back from a 2 day trip to Legoland/Legoland Water park and enjoyed ourselves completely.
Having two boys, 7 and 10, who are complete LEGO fanatics, our family makes our pilgrimage out to Legoland every summer. The unknown element for us this year was the water park.
The kids loved it, but were ready to go by lunch time. It started getting crowded by that time anyway. The place is small, but very cute with all its "LEGO-ness" and the kids dug the slides.
I wouldn't plan on staying there the whole day though, so plan accordingly.
Would we go back? Definitely. (Unless they raise the price....then, not so sure).

"LEGOLAND California Water Park, Good for Beginners"
On an overcast afternoon in June my entire family hit the LEGOLAND California Water Park. My kids are 5, 6, and 11. Here is the Smith Family review of LEGOLAND California’s newest attraction:
The Little Guys
My younger kids are 5 and 6 years old. Luckily every ride and attraction in the park is perfectly designed for this age group. My 5 year old is an absolute daredevil and my 6 year old tends to be very timid when it comes to theme park attractions. This water park had a lot to offer both of them. The big water slides were just thrilling enough for the 5 year old, and more importantly he could go down every one. My timid 6 year old enjoyed the tamer slides at the Duplo Splash Safari.
The Imagination Station, a fun and interactive Duplo play area, was a big hit with every kid in our family. The Build a Raft River was an interesting concept. Kids get to use giant soft rubber blocks to build onto their raft. Some kids get really inventive. My daughter noticed some DUPLO paddles! The river moves at a comfortable pace for the little ones. They have double rafts for kids and parents to share, but you cannot have a child on your lap.
Toddlers and preschoolers were having fun too at the Legoland Water Park. Little ones will enjoy the big splash pool with squirters and water slides designed just for them. There was also a large shallow pool by the slide area so little brothers and sisters could splash around while their older siblings tried out the slides. The Duplo Splash Safari Area which was designed for this age group even has its own lazy river!
Moms I have talked to about this park were impressed with the cleanliness and focus on safety. I was as well. I have never seen so many life guards at a water park in my life! They are very proactive about enforcing the rules.
Do be aware that a fecal contamination accident will close down a section of the water park! This happened while we were visiting. Be sure to put your child in a swim diaper and make frequent trips to the potty so the fun can continue for everyone.
The Big Guy
My 11 year old is a big LEGO fan, but didn’t find the LEGOLAND WATER PARK very fun for his age group. The four water slides didn’t fill his need for speed. The Build a Raft River also moved too slowly for his taste. It was disappointing to him that the life guards made riders stay on the raft in a very specific position. He wished that he could get out and free swim as the current carried him along. The one thing that my big guy did enjoy was having a water cannon battle with his little brother at the Joker Soaker area.
Worth the Admission?
Although the $10 admission is reasonably affordable, with a big family it can add up. If you have toddlers, preschoolers, or young school age children and are visiting the park on a warm day, this will be a fun addition to your LEGOLAND adventure. You might want to consider paying the nominal charge for a second day since it will be difficult to visit the LEGOLAND Water Park and also enjoy the entire LEGOLAND park in one day.
If you are visiting exclusively with older kids, it might be best to stick to the water attractions that are in the main LEGOLAND park which are included in the price of the basic admission ticket. The Pirate Shores area provides wet fun geared toward an older audience. The slides aren’t quite as long, but kids can be drenched with giant water buckets and shoot water cannons at unsuspecting adults.
If your family includes a wide age range like ours, the LEGOLAND Water Park is a fun place to cool off. If we were going back I would be sure to bring an extra adult who could join my older one on the other rides and attractions if he got bored of the slides. If I were visiting solo with the kids, I would come in and out. I think that the Water Park would be more fun for the big guy in small doses.
The Final Scoop
If you are looking for a great first water park for little kids, the LEGOLAND Water Park is worth a visit. The small size of the park means that it will be easier to keep track of your little ones. You will appreciate the clean environment and the conscientious life guards on duty. They will enjoy sliding at this creative LEGO themed park. Like many of LEGOLAND’s attractions it gives young children an opportunity to learn and take risks in an environment that is safe and well designed for their age group.
My family and I were invited to visit the LEGOLAND Water Park on behalf of Trekaroo. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed are my own.

"Great Fun for tots and elementary aged kids"
We recently had the pleasure of spending the day at Legoland and its new Legoland Waterpark courtesy of Legoland. The new waterpark is definitely built towards the toddler and elementary age groups but that is to be expected because Legoland is geared towards those age ranges as well. This is not to say that older kids and adults won't have fun at the park. They just won't find 110 foot death drop slides or any other "extreme" water attractions.
What they will find is a lazy river with innertubes that have places to snap on giant sized legos so you can customize your ride. How fun is that? Families will also find shallow splash areas with kiddie sized slides and fountains and lots of larger slides that are plenty fun to slide down. There are even little water table station where kids can squirt water guns and drift little lego goodies down the current.
Mom and dad can relax on beach chairs in the sand while older kids fly down the slides. Life jacket stations all over the place so no need to bring the water wings!
There is a Beachfront Grill with wraps, salads, and kid friendly grub. Lockers are available for rent at $7 or $9 depending on size, which I think is very overpriced considering thats about 2/3 the entry price to the park! There is even a family sized dryer that people can pay $5 to get in and basically get blow dried with warm air. On a hot day it seems silly but on a day like we had where the weather was in the high 60s, it was pure genius!
Overall, I think that the park is definitely worth the $12 entry fee (though you do have to purchase a ticket to Legoland in order to get in to the park which isn't cheap) but I think the best way to do it is to pay the $5 extra to get a 2nd day at the parks and then split your time up so you get to do both fully. The day we visited the park there was a marine layer and never saw the sunshine so we never actually got to go down any of the slides because it was just too cold! The kids did have fun splashing around (kids seem to want to go in the water no matter what the temperature is outside) but I would like to go back later in the summer and hang out at the waterpark.
My biggest complaint is that there is no way to purchase entrance to water park exclusively. I think they need to create a separate entrance so those of us who just want a day at the water park and not Legoland can have that option.
Disclosure: This review is based on a complimentary visit to Legoland. I received no other compensation besides the tickets for entry and Legoland did not request that I express any particular point of view. The views expressed are entirely my own and my reviews will always reflect my honest opinion of the hotel or activity.
