Legoland Drive, Carlsbad, California

Description

Instructions & Recommendations

Dated ticket holders do not need a reservation but, for open tickets, advanced reservations are required and available on a first-come first-served basis. Take note that, for safety reasons, several rides have minimum height requirements so younger children will not be able to get on all of them.

Meta review

Hard to summarize online reviews given the overwhelming percentage of fakes and dubious reviews (both positive and negative). What we feel confident about is that kids generally seem to have fun and enjoy their experience but the adults are more critical and often underwhelmed. Many negative comments about the food quality.

Environmental & Social

Theme parks entail large construction projects and high running energy requirements as well as waste. We could not find any data and E&S policies online. Creates jobs locally.

Conclusion

A few thrilling rides but overall the park is skewed towards younger children rather than adults and teenagers. The main issue for us is pricing; it is hard to recommend this attraction in terms of value.

Key positive

Plenty of kids-oriented rides

The lego structures are quite impressive

Key negative

Very expensive

Lack of healthy food options

Suitability

In theory, suitable for all ages but really this is for families with kids aged 4-12. Access to the park for visitors with mobility issues is not a problem but they will not be able to go on some of the rides.
