A Day At Legoland

Family-Friendly

Aug 16

Written By Abby

We bought our tickets in the beginning of the year and were planning on visiting back in February. Unfortunately, I tested covid+ two days before our original reservation so we had to postpone this trip. After moving our reservations a couple of times, we finally just decided to take a day trip in April.

Here’s our five favorite things to do in Legoland California!

Where We Stayed?

We stayed at Mission Pacific Hotel in Oceanside, CA. It is part of a JDV by Hyatt and was only 6 miles from Legoland. While I wouldn’t recommend this for overnight trip, it is a beautiful hotel and would recommend staying if you plan on staying for multiple days and utilizing their amenities. They have restaurant by the pool overseeing the coast!

1. Scroll through Miniland USA

You can’t say Legoland without visiting Miniland. From Washington DC to NYC to New Orleans to Vegas to SFO, this mini cities built by LEGO Master Builder and was a blast!

2. Hop in the Coast Cruise

This attraction will take you around the world by boat. It includes Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, and lake view of the Miniland!

3. Take Driving School

Let the kids take driving school and be glad you’re not a passenger. Don’t forget to get a driver’s license as a souvenir.

4. Visit Skipper School

5. Burn Energy At Kid Power Tower

We left the park around 2 pm and headed back to Los Angeles because I had to catch a flight in Fresno at noon the following day. Hayleigh who is a huge lego-lover had so much fun which made this trip so worth it.
