Carlsbad, CA: LEGOLAND Water Park

We’ve been to LEGOLAND California a hand-full of times now and the past few times we’ve done something new and different.  Most recently we visited the Star Wars Miniland and the Sea Life Aquarium. Recently on our trip to cover the grand opening of the LEGOLAND Hotel, we visited the theme park once again and this time focused solely on the Water Park!

Bring your own towels and visit a LEGO themed water area that is perfect for the whole family.  With your LEGOLAND park admission, you can park hop right into the Water Park for a few hours to cool off or spend the whole day there.  The Water Park also features more than 20 LEGO models including giant LEGO friends who splash or spray water on guests, two sandy beach wading areas, retail shops and snack carts.

Our first stop and home base was the sandy beach adjacent to the Build-a-Raft River. With plenty of chairs and chaise loungers, sand to feel like you’re at the beach, and shade when it gets too warm, I felt like I was truly near the ocean and having your toes dipped in the sand this early in the Spring is just heavenly!My daughter rolled around in the sand for a good 30 minutes, bring a pail and shovel and some kids could enjoy this all day!  From here, we could watch the kids line up for the Build-a-Raft River, grabbing an inner-tube and taking a relaxing ride around the park!There is a smaller river, Kid Creek, for little ones.  Though I’m so glad my youngest meets the height requirement for the “big kid” slides and such!

Splash Out and Twin Chasers was the hit of the day, I think I watched them go up and slide out about a dozen times!The 45-foot-tall centerpiece of the Water Park pours water into the shallow pool below.  My little one loved hanging out here, swimming around and getting doused!

We didn’t get over to the second sandy beach area, but it looked like it could be a scene out of a Carribean island.Even the littlest of water lovers can get into the action at the Water Park’s DUPLO Splash Zoo and Safari.

Cabana rentals are available, lockers provided to keep your valuables safe and dry, and Beach Front Grill offers gourmet burritos,  wraps, sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit and quesadillas for when your group gets the munchies!

If you forget your towels like we did, you can buy a LEGOLAND themed one at one of the retail areas and consider it a practical souvenir!  Grab yourself some passes and enjoy the LEGOLAND Water Park on your next visit, it’s a splashin’ good time!
