Finding the park

LEGOLAND California Resort is in Carlsbad, about 30 minutes north of San Diego and an hour south of Anaheim.

• By car: take the I-5 freeway and exit at Palomar Airport Road.
• On arrival: allow time for bag checks at the entrance.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Free entry to SEA LIFE Aquarium with your ticket.
• A cashless resort: cards only, with cash-to-card kiosks.
• Bag checks before entry.
• Restaurants and snack stops around the park, paid by card.

The resort is cashless, so bring a credit or debit card, and expect bag checks before entry. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

All shows and most attractions at LEGOLAND California are ADA accessible, and the resort publishes accessibility and sensory guides to help plan your day. Some rides have height and age requirements.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask park staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the park thoughtfully

• Keep children close in busy areas, and agree a meeting point in case you are separated.
• Keep to the paths and queue lines, and take any rubbish with you.
• Check height and age requirements before you queue for a ride.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care keeps the park enjoyable for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The park has restaurants and snack stops in its lands; the resort is cashless, so pay by card.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Cash-to-card kiosks turn cash into a prepaid card if you need one.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: your ticket is for the date you chose; no reservation is needed.
• Check the day’s hours: opening and closing times change from day to day.
• Leave space to linger: allow time for Miniland USA and SEA LIFE Aquarium as well as the rides.
