Going to be in San Diego for the holidays? The Legoland Holiday Block Party can be a really fun activity. The park is adorned with tiny minature Santas. Miniland locations like New York and New Orleans are decked out in their festive best. You can even pose with a life size Lego model of old St. Nick!
The Legoland shops are a great place to find Holiday treasures. Use your Membership Plus, Ambassador, or Resort membership to get great discounts on Lego toys and souvenirs. You can get a “shopping pass” or visit one hour before closing in order to shop without paying admission. Contact Legoland or see my guidebook for details.
On the subject of discounts, Pass holders received guest coupons by mail in October. One guest per passholder is admitted. This is the time to use them because they expire December 25th. Since the Costco three month passes for the rest of the family have expired, I plan to take each kid on a special mom and kid Legoland date before Christmas. Stay tuned for my three part series: Legoland with an adventurous four year old, Legoland with a timid four year old, and Legoland with an active nine year old.
We visited Legoland on Christmas Day last year. The crowds were minimal and we had a lot of fun. Be prepared for more meltdowns than usual due to tiredness and too many holiday treats. We had some doozies with Jared.
Stay tuned for more info about post Christmas Legoland celebrations.
If you are a Legoland fan, passholder, or future tourist, please consider buying my guidebook The Unauthorized Legoland Guidebook. It also makes a great Christmas present!
