In the slide show above, you're viewing Legoland theme park attractions and cute creations made entirely of Legos! Legoland's rides are terrific, and the sheer variety of available attractions means that whatever age your child might be, he/she will find PLENTY of fun things to do. Kids and adults alike also enjoy viewing the fun Lego re-creations of people, animals, and objects which decorate every corner of the park!

On this page, you'll discover many different types of Legoland discounts available...so you can concentrate on enjoying your family instead of worrying about your budget.

What do Legoland full price tickets cost?

As of August 2008, the full-price Adult's ticket (ages 13 through 59) at the gate for one day's admission to Legoland California is $59.95.

For a child (age 3--12) or a Senior (age 60+) ticket, the cost of a one day pass is $49.95. OUCH! The cost of a family outing is really going to add up if you pay full price! On this page, we're going to discuss ways to slash that full-price bill and get your family the savings it needs to be able to get in on the fun!

TYPES OF LEGOLAND DISCOUNT TICKETS: On this page, we'll talk about the following choices you'll have when you comparison-shop for Legoland tickets---

Discount 1.) Legoland.com's multi-day tickets: Purchasing Legoland tickets for 2 days instead of one will save money per-day.

Discount 2.) ARES Travel discount tickets: ARES Travel is a company which has permission from Legoland to sell Legoland tickets at discount prices.

Discount 3.) Entertainment coupon book discounts: Entertainment books are a well-known source of discounts for restaurants, hotels and other businesses.

Discount 4.) AAA Legoland discounts: Belonging to the American Automobile Association can get you discounts at Legoland and other Southern California family attractions.

Discount 5.) State of California tourism discounts: The official California state tourist website now offers Legoland and Sea Life Aquarium discount coupons!

Discount 6.) Costco.com Legoland Discounts: This famous retailer's website almost always has a special deal for Legoland tickets going on.

Discount 7.) San Diego Go Cards/Los Angeles Go Cards: Go Cards are a type of multi-attraction discount which give the purchaser flexibility selecting the attractions at which they're used. The Go Card plans for both San Diego and Los Angeles include Legoland as one of the attractions which may be selected.

Discount 8.) Legoland Annual Passes: For guests who are planning to return to Legoland again and again, it's only logical to consider purchasing a "membership" at Legoland. ("Membership" is Legoland's special term which means "annual pass.")

Note: Legoland offers Military Discounts: Current members of the military may show their ID cards at the Legoland ticket booths for an on-the-spot 10% discount. Legoland tickets may be pre-purchased at an even greater discount at the ITT at your MWR office on base.

Discount #1: Legoland.com's multi-day discounts

If you wish to enjoy Legoland for 2 days instead of one, you'll enjoy a significant savings by getting Legoland's 2-day discount ticket. The price for adults (in August 2008) is $74.95, and the cost for kids and seniors is $62.95.

What are the ages for a Legoland child's ticket? Legoland California is the most generous of all the theme parks in the Los Angeles/San Diego area in terms of just WHO is considered a "child" for ticketing purposes. Most theme parks and other attractions begin to charge adult admission fees at age 10; Legoland allows your children to get discounted admission clear THROUGH the age of 12. You won't have to pay adult prices for your kids at Legoland California until they turn 13!

You must use both Legoland visits on your 2-day pass during one week's time: The "catch" for buying this deeply discounted 2nd day ticket is that you must use your 2nd day of admission within a 7-day period. (That's fine for out-of-towners who will need to be heading back home, anyway. But, it doesn't please locals who would like to make 2 visits to Legoland...but stretched out over a longer period of time.)

The New LEGOLAND HOPPER TICKETS: A brand new type of Legoland discount has begun in 2008; it's the Legoland Hopper Discounts. Now that Legoland's Sea Life Aquarium has opened, the park has 2 attractions which each charge separate admission fees. When you purchase a "hopper" ticket, you'll be able to go from the theme park to the aquarium and back...for a price that costs less than purchasing both admissions separately. As of August, 2008, a 1-day "hopper" ticket for both the theme park and aquarium costs $69.95 for adults & $59.95 for kids. Even better, though, is the Legoland 2-day Hopper ticket, which costs $79.95 for adults and $64.95 for kids on the Legoland website.

Discount #2: ARES Travel discount Legoland Tickets

When comparison-shopping, it's hard to say exactly which company is going to have the best discount offer for Legoland tickets at any given time. At the precise moment you're ticket-hunting, it may or may not be ARES Travel. But, as I've observed ARES's prices over the last few years, I've noted that they're usually one of the lowest-priced options.

If you would like to find out about current Legoland ticket & hotel package prices available with this company, please see the Legoland Tickets page of the ARES Travel website.

Legoland Discounts #3 -- Entertainment Book Coupons

If you don't already have an Entertainment coupon book for your city (or if you want to buy a California book to enjoy savings at local restaurants and attractions while on your vacation), you may use the following link to visit the Entertainment.com website so that you can check out what savings are available for YOUR area. Note--the 2009 Entertainment Books are now available. You may begin using 2009 coupons immediately---but your 2008 Entertainment Coupons will continue to be valid until their printed expiration dates.

Legoland Discount s #4 -- AAA Member Savings

The AAA (American Automobile Association) offers Legoland discounts to their members. The AAA tries to offer a discount to every major US attraction, no matter where you might be headed. The problem is that the discounts aren't generally the best you can find!

However, if you forget to plan ahead, whipping out your AAA membership card at the Legoland ticket booth will give you at least SOME type of a discount. By showing your AAA card at the ticket window, you'll get an automatic 10% savings on all the tickets that you're buying. At the current full $60 price of Legoland adult tickets, this means that simply by showing your AAA card at the ticket booth, you'll save $6 per person!

Occasionally, the AAA will offer deeper discounts for special periods. These discounts can sometimes vary depending on which state you live. Be sure to check at your local AAA office or at the AAA Website, www.aaa.com to see if any specials are in effect at the time you plan to purchase your tickets.

Savings #5: State of California tourism coupons

Visitors to California will always find a wealth of information about the state on the www.VisitCalifornia.com official tourism website. You'll find more than just information; you'll discover savings coupons to some of the state's attractions, as well! There is currently a California Fun Spot coupon giving you $8 off a one-day admission ticket to California's Legoland theme park, and a 2nd coupon offering $3 off the price of a Sea Life Aquarium visit. To view and print out these coupons, you'll want to check out the Fun Spots Coupons page of the www.VisitCalifornia.com website. Simply print out the coupons for attractions you wish to enjoy, then present them at the ticket booths of the appropriate attractions!

Savings #6: Legoland Discount Tickets at Costco.com

The down side: you'll have to pay an extra 5% surcharge if you're not a Costco member, and---member or not---you'll need to add an extra fee for shipping. (However, if you're getting more than one ticket, the shipping price only goes up only a little bit for each extra ticket, which helps mitigate this extra fee.)

If you'd like to check out the details of this good offer, you may pick up a Costco "travel specials" booklet at a Costco location, or use the following link to see Costco,com's Legoland Discount Tickets page.

Legoland Discounts #7 ---San Diego Go Card

How does the San Diego Go Card work? There are about 55 member attractions who accept the San Diego Go Card. You are free to pick and choose from among them, deciding which attractions you'll visit, and which you'll skip. You simply figure out how many days you'll want to tour San Diego attractions. Then, you purchase a 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7-day San Diego Go Card for that period of time. Once you pre-pay for your card, then you simply show the card at the entrance to each attraction you visit, and you're admitted without any further charge.

Obviously, this benefits the tourist who lingers less time at each attraction. Go-getters who tour 2 or 3 attractions in one day are going to save more money than those who linger at only one attraction for that same length of time. Nevertheless, this card is a great money-saver for anyone who has a long list of San Diego attractions they'd like to see...but never thought that they could afford it. Especially for older visitors who would love to see the Legoland Mini-Cities (a favorite attraction for adults,) this card may make the difference in whether or not you actually get to see the mini-cities. An adult bringing a child for an all-day outing is much more apt to spend the $60 for a regular Legoland ticket than someone who wishes merely to "pop in" for an hour.

List of included attractions: The list of member attractions is long, so they won't all be listed here. Most major (and many minor) attractions are on the list, including the very popular San Diego Zoo and San Diego Wildlife Park, in addition to Legoland theme park. Knott's Berry Farm theme park, Knott's Soak City Water Park, and Wild Rivers Water Park are on the list of options you may choose. Also included are various tours---harbor tours, Temecula wine country tours, Tijuana tours, and San Diego city tours. Still other popular attractions...like the Belmont Boardwalk amusement park and Scripps Aquarium...are part of the Go Card program. If you'd like to learn more, you may use the following link to view the Go San Diego Card official website.

Legoland Discounts--Los Angeles Go Card

Just like its "sister" offer, the Los Angeles Go Card offers savings to many different Southern California attractions, including Legoland theme park. This card, however, features tourist attractions which are mostly within Los Angeles and Orange counties. So, this would be the attraction discount card to get if San Diego isn't the focus of your vacation.

Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott's Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain are other major theme parks included as options on this attractions pass. Also included are Hollywood tours, movie studio toursthe lovely Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, tours of the Queen Mary, the Los Angeles Zoo, Wild Rivers Water Park (in season,) harbor tours, many museums, and more. Several San Diego attractions are included in the LA Go Card (such as San Diego Harbor excursions and Belmont Amusement Park wristbands) for visitors who want to sample attractions in both cities. Just like the San Diego Go Card, this LA discount program is purchased by the number of days you wish to tour. You may squeeze in as many (or as few) of the listed attractions as you wish. For further information, you may view the Go Los Angeles Card website.

Savings #8: Legoland Annual Passes

The Legoland "Membership" annual passes are true ANNUAL pass good for a full 12 months from the date of purchase. (Remember, you must be careful when purchasing SEASON pass, which some theme parks offer...which aren't good for a full 12 month period. Season passes expire at the end of the summer season or at the end of the calendar year, instead of after 12 months.)

Legoland in California offers two types of annual "memberships," the standard and the Membership Plus. Both memberships offer these benefits---

1.) No park black-out dates

2.) Special in-park discounts

3.) Free Legoland newsletter

4.) Legoland Children's Magazine with purchase of a Child's membership; limit one free magazine per household.

A standard 12-month membership at California's Legoland costs $115 per adult and $89 for a child or senior (as of August 2008.) If you have kids who love Legoland, it would be easy to get to Legoland 10 times in one year...bringing the per-visit cost down to under $11 for each adult! And, if you visited even more often than that, your savings would keep getting better and better!




Here's a list of the extra features you'll get if you purchase the extra super-duper "Membership Plus" season pass, which costs $138/year for adults: You get all the features of the standard membership AND---

1.) FREE parking on every visit! Since parking is $10 per visit, you'd save $80 just in parking fees ALONE if your family visited the California Legoland 10 times in one year.

2.) One free guest pass per year. Is your best friend or aunt coming into town for a visit? Would she like to see how cute the kids are on the adorable Legoland rides? No problem! There's a free ticket just waiting for her.

3.) Payment by the EZ Pay method is available! The total cost of the Membership Plus annual pass is $138/adults and $114 children and seniors. But...Perhaps the very best reason to get the Membership Plus for your family is that--on top of it being the most cost-effective pass--it's also offers an affordable monthly payment plan! Adults are charged around $11.50 per month (with a minimum of 12-months sign-up time) and children & seniors are billed about $9.50/month. (After the 12 month minimum, you can keep on paying by-the-month for as long as you like, and quit when you like.)

Assuming that you have 2 adults and 2 kids in your family, you can get unlimited visits to Legoland, unlimited parking, and the other benefits of membership for about $40/month...less than you'd probably pay for a YMCA membership. All of the sudden, going to a world-class amusement park would be as easy to handle economically as taking the kids to a movie (or out to a fast-food restaurant) once a month. Now, we're talking savings! (Note: the monthly payment option for annual passes at Legoland is NOT available online. You MUST purchase this plan at Legoland Park itself.)

A brand-new annual pass membership is now available as of August, 2008! This new membership is called Legoland's "Resort Membership" and, for $159/year per adult, includes not only a year's worth of admissions to Legoland Theme Park but ALSO a year's worth of admissions to the new Sea Life Aquarium which opened August 11, 2008.

For further annual pass/membership information, please see the Annual Pass/Membership page of the Legoland.com website.
