HOME TO LEGOLAND®

Central Florida is a destination for families to experience the thrills and laughs of America’s most beloved theme parks, including right here in Winter Haven! We are home to the most awesome theme park built-for-kids – LEGOLAND® Florida Resort

A trip to LEGOLAND® is guaranteed to be saturated with interactive experiences like nowhere else! With over 50 rides, a water park, interactive attractions, restaurants, and shops, all inspired by the popular LEGO® brand and characters, LEGOLAND® is tailormade for families with children ages 2 – 12

As Duplo Valley opens up to LEGO® figures and endless color, you can take your child into LEGOLAND’s® Florida Prepaid Schoolhouse . Inside the Schoolhouse doors are play structures, an interactive learning pad, LEGOLAND® building blocks, and so much more If your children are a little older, they will love wandering through Miniland USA, where they will see LEGO® replicas of famous skylines and historical landmarks .

Do they want a wilder adventure? Take them on one of the many “pink knuckle” rides in the park, like NINJAGO®, where they can battle against the enemy and sharpen their ninja skills . Or they can prepare for takeoff on the suspended roller coaster, Flying School, or The Great LEGO® Race, a combination of virtual reality and LEGO® figures that gives riders a 360-degree view to enhance their coaster experience .

In 2023, LEGOLAND unveiled its newest attraction, Pirate River Quest . While it pays homage to the historical Cypress Gardens Canal Ride, it is a completely authentic and reinvented ride for families to enjoy! Take to the lakes in the most LEGO way as riders set sail on an adventurous treasure hunt to discover the Chain of Lakes .
