What do Legoland full price tickets cost?
As of February, 2010, the full-price Adult's ticket (ages 13 through 59) on Legoland's website for one day's admission to Legoland California is $67.
For a child (age 3--12) or a Senior (age 60+) ticket, the cost of a one day ticket is $57. 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: Here's a quick overview of the types of Legoland deals we'll be exploring on this page---
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.) Merchant coupon specials: From time to time, Legoland teams up with area stores or restaurants to issue special coupons.
Discount 8.) 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 9.) 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.")
10.) Other Discounts: In addition to discounts available to the general public, Legoland offers good discounts to members of the military, preschools and to home-schooling families. Also, holding a Legoland birthday party is a good way to get a group discount. In this section, you'll discover the details of these programs.
Discount #1: Legoland.com's multi-day discounts
It's cheaper per-day to purchase a 2 Day Legoland ticket than a regular 1-day admission ticket.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 February, 2010) is $82, and the cost for kids and seniors is $72.
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 since Legoland's aquarium opened; it's the Legoland Hopper Discount Ticket. Now that Legoland's Sea Life Aquarium is accepting visitors, 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 February, 2010, a 1-day "hopper" ticket for both the theme park and aquarium costs $77 for adults & $67 for kids. Even better, though, is the Legoland 2-day Hopper ticket, which costs $87 for adults and $77 for kids on the Legoland website.
Discount #2: ARES Travel discount Legoland Tickets
ARES Travel is a company which has Legoland's permission to sell their theme park's tickets at a discount. ARES Travel has an outstanding record with the Better Business Bureau; if it did not, then Legoland wouldn't allow the company this privilege. ARES Travel also handles the ticketing for a number of California cities' convention & visitors bureaus...and even the State of California's official tourism website!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 ARES Travel.com's Legoland Ticket Discounts page.
Legoland Discounts #3 -- Entertainment Book Coupons
The 2010 Entertainment Book for San Diego has a $7 discount coupon good for up to 6 tickets for Legoland admission. (Note: the San Diego edition is the only one with the coupon.) The 2010 Entertainment coupon books are often on-sale via local fundraising projects throughout California and other states in the USA. Entertainment Coupon Books are also available online, as well. Entertainment coupon books cost between $25 - $45 each, depending on the geographical area for which you're purchasing the book (although sometimes they do have special sale prices going on.) Each book contains hundreds of coupons for getting discounts at local restaurants, stores, movie theaters and attractions. People who like to save money often buy an Entertainment coupon book every year. I, myself, have been getting these super-savings books regularly for over 10 years. I have personally used an Entertainment book coupon at Legoland San Diego in past years, and my coupon was readily accepted.
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 2010 Entertainment Books are now available. You may begin using 2010 coupons immediately---and any 2010 Entertainment Coupons you have may be used until their printed expiration dates expire.
Legoland Discount s #4 -- AAA Member Savings
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 $67 price of Legoland adult tickets, this means that simply by showing your AAA card at the ticket booth, you'll save over $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 2010 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
You can usually find Legoland discount tickets for sale at Costco.com. These discount prices are truly money-saving; exactly HOW much you save will depend on the offer you choose.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 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--Merchant Coupons
From time to time, Legoland teams up with local stores or restaurants to offer special Legoland coupons and deals. You can't depend on finding Legoland coupons when you need them, because (1) there isn't always a coupon deal going on, and (2) when a store or restaurant runs out of their supply of coupons, then they're simply gone and there won't be any more coming. Nevertheless, when you can find a coupon special in a local store, they're often very good coupons.An example of this was the Summer/Fall 2009 Legoland discount coupon at Burger King. Burger King restaurants in selected areas offered a terrific coupon: buy one adult "hopper" ticket, and get a child's "hopper" ticket free. (A "hopper" ticket, as you read above, is a Legoland/Sea Life Aquarium combo ticket.)
Legoland Discounts #8 ---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
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 #9: Legoland Annual Passes
If you're planning on making repeated visits to the park, then you may enjoy using one of Legoland's annual pass programs. (On the Legoland website, you'll see the annual passes called "Memberships to Legoland.") Annual passes---whether to Legoland or to ANY theme park---are the absolute best values for families who love to visit theme parks regularly. 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. In addition, if you'd like a membership to the Sea Life Aquarium, as well, there's a 3rd option--the "Legoland RESORT membership." These memberships offer great 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 $129 per adult and $99 for a child or senior (as of February, 2010.) 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 $13 for each adult! And, if you visited even more often than that, your savings would keep getting better and better!
1.) FREE parking on every visit! Since theme park parking lots are never cheap, you'll save a substantial amount of money with the Membership Plus annual pass if your family visits regularly throughout the 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 $149/adults and $119 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 $13 per month (with a minimum of 12-months sign-up time) and children & seniors are billed about $10/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 $46/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.)
Legoland's Membership Plus EZ Payment plan is the type of park admission which I've had since 2008. It has been a convenient and money-saving way to always be sure I can attend the park whenever I want to and the monthly bank deduction has been a smooth-running process. Legoland doesn't pay me a kickback to say this; I simply recommend it (for families who will visit Legoland frequently) because it's a very good admissions plan
For further annual pass/membership information, please see the Annual Pass/Membership page of the Legoland.com website.
#10: Other types of Legoland Discounts
Military, Preschool,Home School and Birthday Party discounts to Legoland
1.) Military Discounts: Legoland California would like to give a special discount to those who serve our country...and their family members, too. Therefore, Legoland offers Military Discounts for active members of the armed services. 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.2.) Preschool Discounts: Preschools are eligible to bring the kids for a fun day at Legoland for a substantially discounted ticket price. A minimum of 15 paid admissions must be purchased to qualify for this educational discount program. For further info about Legoland's Preschool discounts, here's the Preschool Days page of the Legoland website.
3.) Home School Discounts: As you might imagine, local school groups sometimes enjoy field trips to Legoland with special educational group discounts. But what about families who homeschool? Legoland offers you a discount, too!
Home School Days at Legoland take place periodically throughout the fall, winter and spring. To get your home-school discount, you'll need to attend on one of these dates. You must also purchase these substantially discounted tickets at least 2 weeks in advance, because they are not available at the Legoland ticket booths. For further information about Legoland's home school discounts and Home School Days dates, here's a link to the Home School Discounts page of the Legoland website.
4.) Legoland Birthday Parties: You can get a group discount to Legoland simply by holding your child's birthday party at the theme park! A minimum of 10 paid guests is needed to qualify; however, the discounts are substantial, and you can have a bigger party than you expected for the same price if you plan ahead. You must give at least a 2-week notice for your birthday party discount. If you simply show up at the ticket booths, the party discount is not available...and you couldn't get access to Legoland's party pavilions at the last moment, either.
2 types of Legoland Birthday Parties are available. The simplest plan included only admission to the park and a Legoland birthday cake. An all-inclusive plan is also available, which includes not only admission and a cake, but also Legoland birthdya party invitations, 1 1/2 hours of party pavilion time, lunch and party favors, as well! Here's a link to the Birthday Party page of the Legoland website where you'll find complete information!
