**Masshole Mommy and her family received complimentary admission to LEGOLAND® California in order to experience the park and provide an honest opinion.  All opinions expressed here are strictly my own and were not influenced in any way**

During our recent trip to California, we got to spend an entire day at LEGOLAND®.  It was something that I have always wanted my kids to experience and I was so happy that I had the opportunity to take them.

We actually went on Easter Sunday and I am glad that we chose that day because the park was not as crowded as it probably normally would have been on any other Sunday.   We spent most of the day going on rides, but after lunch, we decided to check out the LEGOLAND® Water Park for a while.  My boys love water parks, so I don’t think they would have let us leave without stopping there for a while.

LEGOLAND® Water Park is located at the north end of LEGOLAND® California adjacent to  Fun Town. The entrance is located between the Factory Tour and the Adventurer’s Club.

RIDES AND ATTRACTIONS:

The centerpiece of LEGOLAND Water Park is a 45-foot-tall tower designed to immerse children in the creative world of LEGO®. The four main slides originate with this tower.

Orange Rush: A family tube slide where up to four people can ride together down a 312-foot-long curving track on an 11-foot in diameter half pipe

Twin Chasers: Two side-by-side enclosed red tube slides that stretch nearly 130 feet and pour into a wading area below

Splash Out:  An open body slide that invites guests to slide 240 feet and “splash out” into the water below

Build-A-Raft River: A one-of-a-kind concept where kids customize their own raft made of soft LEGO bricks before floating down a lazy river

DUPLO® Splash Safari: A water play area designed especially for toddlers with three small slides and interactive DUPLO® characters modeled after the actual pieces found in LEGO sets: an alligator, polar bear and an elephant

Kid Creek: A lazy river within DUPLO® Splash Safari built with younger kids in mind 

Joker Soaker: A fun interactive platform in the wade pool where kids can aim water cannons at each other as a LEGO jester model “tells” jokes while 350 gallons of water pour down upon them

Imagination Station: Interactive, educational and imaginative fun! There are two interactive tables. On one, kids can build bridges, dams and cities out of DUPLO bricks and test them against the flow of water. On the other, they control the flow of water by creating patterns out of LEGO elements.  In another area, a musical water stand with a series of holes on top that squirt water allows kids to become conductors of their own water symphony as they cover holes creating new music notes.

My two spend had a blast in the DUPLO® Splash Safari and ended up spending a good portion of their time at the water park there.

One of the coolest features of the LEGOLAND® California Water Park in our opinion were these dryers:

For $5, you could go stand inside them for a few minutes and walk out completely dry.  We have been to several water parks and have never seen these before.  It’s nice that you don’t have to carry around a change of clothes with you all day!

And before you ask, here is everything else you need to know:

BRICK-A-BRAC:

  • LEGOLAND Water Park is the world’s first and only LEGO themed Water Park
  • LEGOLAND Water Park is the single biggest addition to LEGOLAND California since the Park Opened in 1999 at 5.5 acres and $12 million.
  • There are 22 LEGO models throughout LEGOLAND Water Park, five of them are jumbo LEGO friends who stand 6-feet-tall and weigh about 250 pounds.
  • The jumbo LEGO friends include a surfer, a lifeguard and a fisherman. They are unusual in that they are piped to splash and spray water onto guests exploring the lazy river.
  • The alligator, elephant and polar bear in the DUPLO Splash Safari are giant-scale replicas of the DUPLO animals that come in LEGO sets
  • The first official guests of the Water Park were 50 children from Camp Connect who were reunited with their siblings during  a once-in-a-lifetime play date.  The children who were separated from their siblings due to placement in the foster care system, had the Water Park entirely to themselves for an hour before the Park opened to the public.
  • Trash cans, recycling bins and benches throughout the Water Park are made of recycled milk jugs. There are 18 benches made of 800 of the plastic jugs each; there are 20 trash cans and 20 recycling bins, each made of 330 milk jugs.  This is just one of many green initiatives on behalf of LEGOLAND California’s Green Wave Committee.

My boys had a blast at the LEGOLAND® California Water Park and even though we didn’t get to spend the entire day there, they were happy that they got to spend as much time there as they did!

    Lego land was a great time and close to San Diego under an hour drive. My favorite part was the the real movie set from the Lego land movie.

  2. Kay Adeola says

    We have a Lego Land over here which the kiddies love.Water parks are so much fun for everyone we are going to go to one near us in the next few weeks.I remember those dryers I love them, we have them at a theme park here for when you get off one of the rides that soak you.

  4. Rosey says

    This does sound like a great visit! You already know, but my little one loves LEGOs. I didn’t even know there was a water park.

  5. YAM says

    When I grew up in UK, Lego had not been heard of – we had a similar thing with tiny components called Beta-Bilda. It was a much loved activity for many years and when our litte brother got given Lego there were wars as to which was best… sorry. Memory trigger… &*>

    Have given you a shout out on my post today… YAM xx

  6. Kelley Beckett says

    I didn’t even realize they had a whole separate water park there. That’s a lot to squeeze into one day!

  7. Michele says

    That sounds like a whole mess of fun! I would probably even like meandering down a lazy river. That dryer hut is amazing!!

  9. tee mccluskey says

    Lego Land looks fun, and I love the place that you don’t have to carry clothes around! And the place is filled with loads of cool things to do!

  12. Liz Mays says

    Those pics of the guys coming out of the tubes are pretty awesome! What a super fun way to have even more Lego fun!

  13. aimee fauci says

    Lego land has a water park? For water lovers that is too exciting. I think we have a regular Lego Land in TX that I really want to take my girls to.. especially my 9 year old!

  33. Shell says

    Oh wow, even my youngest is tall enough to go on all those rides. My boys would love it! We saw one of those dryers at Universal, right as you got off some of the water rides(the types that you think you won’t really get all that wet and end up soaked).

  38. Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? says

    Wow! That looks like a great water park. Those dryers sure are handy.

  42. Jenn says

    My kids LOVE the Legoland in Florida, I hope to one day travel to CA and this will be a must stop for us!

  46. Janel (A Mom's Take) says

    Okay, this is awesome! I had no idea Legoland had a water park. Maybe I’ve just been under a rock? Looks like a blast. My kids would love to go there. It’s definitely on our bucket list.

  50. Rorybore says

    So.Cool.
    My kids would love this. they would spend all day in the water probably.
    And how handy is that dryer thing?! that is amazing.

  51. Coolchillmom says

    The bric fans at home have been asking and asking to go. It looks like loads if fun and I did live the idea if those powerful blowers!
    Thanks for all the details. I think we can’t delay any longer, so Legoland here we come!

  52. Sue says

    Looks super fun! my kids would love it too!

    they had those drying things at Busch Gardens when we went – we ended up using it too – because we got soaked when we went on the flume ride!

    Great pics!

  55. omgitschelsea says

    This places looks so awesome! I love the dryers too- so handy to not have to take home sopping wet kids!

  56. Autumn says

    It looks like your boys had a blast at LEGOLAND’s water park! Aren’t water parks so much more enjoyable than regular parks on hot days? 🙂 It’s so awesome that you didn’t have to encounter huge crowds on your Easter visit! Great timing!

  57. Kayla @ TheEclecticElement says

    This look like so. much. FUN! Not only for the kiddos but for adults, too. You’re never too old to connect to your inner child 🙂 Plus I bet that water park is so nice on hotter Summer days.

  59. sweettmakes3 says

    Just when you think Legos can’t get any better. THEY ADD WATER. Epic!

  66. shaunatorres says

    How sad is it that I didn’t even know that this place existed… It sounds so awesome.. we will have to check it out one day. Thanks so much for sharing.

  72. edwardsmom says

    we want to go SO badly. We have been to Legoland here in the Orlando area, but never the water park. Duplo Splash Safari Slides looks fun

  74. Christie says

    WOW, looks like you guys had a fun day! I haven’t ventured to our Legoland Water park yet, but I’m definitely wanting to go now

  76. Theresa says

    That is such a cool water park! We have seen the people dryers at a few places before. Once in Orlando and again this weekend at Cedar Point. I always wondered how well they worked lol.

  79. Amanda H. says

    I have a teenager that I’m sure would LOVE hanging there for the day. I love water slides too so I would totally love to visit too!

  82. Jennifer Williams says

    I am having such a hard time with realizing that I am close enough to go to this park now. We were so close to their location in Florida until we moved. I am hoping we get there this summer and can not wait. It looks like you all had such a great time.

  87. Bailey says

    Great pictures. I really never had heard much other than the name of Legoland before. I can imagine it would be crowded just on name alone.

  88. Karren Haller says

    Does it get any better for kids to be in over sized Legos, never such a thing when my kids were young, my how times have changed. Hope you ca stop by, enjoy your day!

  89. Amanda @ Erickson & Co. says

    This looks like a lot of fun! I wish it wasn’t so far away so I could take my son!

  90. Chavonne H says

    Wow what a fun time! I’d love to try the Splash Out and Build-A-Raft River if I were a kid. I remember going to a water park in the tunnel slides, such a good time!

  96. Tammilee says

    I have never been to Legoland before. It looks like so much fun. I love the dryers. How cool to not have to walk around with wet clothes

  97. Marina says

    My little man has just fallen in love with Legos so I know we have a trip to Legoland in our future. Love the water park pics.

  100. savoryexperiments says

    Ah-mazing! I had no idea Lego had a water park. I’ve seen some of the sculptures before and they are super impressive.

  102. cam | bibs and baubles says

    I have to say – you packed in A LOT during your time here! We can’t wait to go to Legoland! Waiting on our baby girl to get bigger so she can enjoy it too. Looks like you all had a ball!

  103. Alexis AKA MOM says

    I keep seeing all the ads on their FB account and so want to hop on a plane and go. What a fun trip and to get free tickets is even better!!

  104. aquariann says

    I still have my LEGOs from childhood somewhere. I wish the park would existed back then, it looks like such fun for kids.

  109. Mommy2Jam says

    We love legoland and all that they offer. Sounds like you and the family had a grand time. I love that fact that you could go in the machine and get dry.

  110. lawna says

    What lucky kids! My kids love legos and water parks, so this would be a dream visit for them!

  117. Alison says

    Oh my word a Legoland Water Park!? Man I think my boys would have a blast with anything that has to do with Legos. Now I feel like we need to travel.

  120. Cara says

    The looks like tons of fun! My oldest would love the slides, my youngest the Duplo area. I think both would love building their own raft.
