Imagine a park where kids can feel like giants, walking among miniature cities built from over 32 million LEGO® bricks, and parents can enjoy a surprisingly well-rounded day out. That’s the promise of the LEGOLAND® Florida Resort 1-Day Water and Theme Park Ticket, a ticket that opens the door to a full day of family-friendly fun just a short drive from Orlando. Whether you’re a seasoned theme park veteran or a first-time visitor looking for a mix of rides and relaxed water fun, this experience offers a lot worth considering.
What we love most about this ticket is how it combines the creativity of LEGO® with the thrill of rides and splashy water attractions. Kids get a chance to explore interactive zones like the LEGO® City Rescue Academy and Build-A-Raft River, while adults can appreciate the park’s clever theming and attention to detail. Another big plus is the flexibility of visiting both parks in a single day—more than enough time to enjoy the highlights without feeling rushed.
However, one point to keep in mind is that food and drinks are not included, so planning some snacks or picnics will help stretch your budget. Also, the parking fee is extra, which is common at Florida parks but worth factoring into your overall cost. This ticket is best suited for families, LEGO enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a lively, engaging day in a safe, accessible environment.

Water Park Highlights
The LEGOLAND® Water Park, included in your ticket, is a highlight, especially during warm Florida days. It features the Build-A-Raft River, where you can build your own LEGO® raft and float lazily along a 1,000-foot river—great for a chilled-out break from rides. The Joker Soaker splash playground entertains the little ones with water cannons and slides, while the DUPLO® Splash Safari is perfect for toddlers with smaller slides and shallow pools.
Other water attractions, like the Wave Pool and five fast waterslides, ensure hours of splashy fun. Keep in mind, the Water Park isn’t open every day—it’s closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting September 3, 2024, and for a chunk of the winter from November 17, 2024, to February 13, 2025. So, if water play is your main goal, double-check the schedule before booking.
