My Lo is a 6 year old little boy obsessed with Legos. To be completely honest, obsessed is probably a term used very loosely he is enamored by legos. It never ceases to amaze me seeing this little 6 year old boy construct these elaborate Lego works of art in hours and sometimes minutes. So it was such a treat when we had the wonderful opportunity to visit Lego Land Florida. It was truly a dream come true for him. I have to say not only for him but for us as well. We were lucky enough to receive two tickets from the wonderful company to go check the park out for ourselves. I honestly didn't know what to expect. I knew there would be a lot of legos(a given) but I wasn't prepared for the fun time we all had as a family.
Legoland Florida is nestled in the sweet town of Winter Haven Florida. A town that once boosted the famous Cypress Gardens Amusement park. I remember going there as a little girl and was so sad to hear it closed. However, I quickly realized Lego Land not only took the park over but kept the beautiful gardens and glimpses of the famous water show alive and well for a new generation to enjoy.
You will find Winter Haven about 40 minutes South West of Orlando, Florida. It sounds a bit daunting as a tourist to make that drive but with the amount of hotels in the surrounding towns/cities this really isn't a big deal. You can easily get some great hotel ideas and suggestions off the Lego Site.
The park is easy to get to and there are signs in order to guide you straight to the park with no problems. Parking is easy and quick. You can purchase even pre purchase your parking ticket ahead of time for a discounted rate online.
The park is so whimsical ! You will find Legos everywhere!
As soon as we arrived we knew our son would be in heaven! Researching ahead of time we found out that you can trade mini figs with the park employees all you had to do was go up to any employee wearing a lego badge with mini figs on it. My son had a blast trading in the 3 mini figures he brought with him for 3 brand new ones!
Everywhere you go you will find amazing Lego creations.
You will also find Lego characters to meet and greet. Lo even traded his first minifigure with this guy over here!
From Lego Carousel horses.....
To a Lego South Beach, the Legos not only impress the kids but the parents as well.My favorite model was the Miami Inspired Little Havana! Complete with conga dancing Legos! Along with an Amazing model of the World Famous Miami Restaurant Versailles.
Complete with a walk up Coffee window!
All the rides are Lego Centered or "scaled to people Size" I even got to go on many with my kids. I felt like a kid again enjoying all these fun rides!
Yup that's me with my little guy on the mini roller coaster!
Not only did my Lego Fan have fun but the girls did as well. Between rides and face painting the fun was non stop.
We had a bit of rain hit us midway through the day but it didn't dampen the spirits (it was actually a welcoming cool down from the heat)
Once it was done we kept on riding all the fun rides and enjoying all the park had to offer.
We even got to see the fun water skiing show complete with life size legos. As you can see my kids were ecstatic!
My Lo even got a Lego License after taking a course at the Legoland driving school
Some helpful hints
- The park is 40-45 minutes from Orland so if you are staying there plan your drive accordingly.
- The hours will vary daily so make sure and check online to see what the schedule is.
- Go online to buy tickets. Chances are they will be cheaper there than if you buy them at the door.
- You can also make reservations for your hotel through their site and many of their hotels offer ticket packages as well!
- You can take your stroller or rent one there for a minimal price.
- Make sure your little one takes their minifigures with them so they can trade them with park employees. This is really a fun thing to do for them!
- The price of food at the park is actually very reasonable. There is an Italian Buffet as well as a fried chicken place with family prices. Lego yearly pass holders get a discount for food,and many other perks.So if you can this is a great buy!
- This park is really geared towards kids 5-12 years old. Kids that are older will still enjoy it (I did!) but little ones will really get a kick out if it.

*Although we received two tickets for free to visit Legoland, All opinions are 100% mine.

This is such an incredible little trip! Once our kids are bigger, the husband and I (okay, mainly I) want to make a trip to California and do the LA theme park tour. Either that, or visit the family in Florida and do the theme park tour there. :-)
I like the Caramel Latte
Oh wow, these look so yummy! I know what I'm making for Sunday morning breakfast! Thanks for sharing this. =)
Value and nutrition. Quality is important too

It really is the small things that make us smile the most. For me it is going into a bookstore for a few hours, drinking a frozen coffee (frap) and reading a book.

Gingerbread Latte!
I also live in a warmer state, and there are times when I'm really jealous of people's snow... But then again, it's January, and we spent today walking around the zoo... You can't do that in Maine... I enjoy having breaks from the winter "house arrest" with warm days we can spend outside.
That's so true! Where we came from has been pounded by snow lately so I'm definitely not missing it!
Oh that's so nice that you were able to enjoy your holidays and be happy in your move. We had to move back to the town we grew up in and I am sad to say it's been nothing but bad for us. I miss my old church family and my summertime beach Bible study friends. We're doing everything we can to move back up north. It's an amazing area with snow (not too much) in the winter and not too hot in the summer. I loved it so much. My husband just applied for two jobs in the general area but I hope we get to move right back where we came from. I'd be SO happy. :)
Good luck! It's hard when things don't fall into place :( Sending prayers it all does :)

When we lived in Montana, I used to buy my eggs from church kids who raised chickens and sold the eggs as a business. They tasted so good to my parents that now they've had to search out a similar arrangement in the city where they live! (I'm allergic to eggs but I bake with them and the freshness makes a huge difference.)
STarbucks card!
The Starbucks card and LOVE LOVE LOVE the Goats Milk card!
I just moved to a new state and found out its illegal in this state to get raw milk. YOu have to hop the border 2 hrs away if you want it. :(

That's cool that the kids got to see exactly where food comes from. We have a lot of farms in the area, but nothing that's kid friendly so we'll have to settle for farmers markets.

My almost three year old would absolutely love this place! My 16 month old...he probably would be scared. I am glad you all had a wonderful time. It looks like you did!
Looks like y'all had so much fun! I wish we lived closer to one because my girls would love to visit, they love building dinos out of their legos!
I really need to make a trip down to check out the park eventually! It looks really cute!
It's a lego fanatics dream! We just got a Legoland here, but my grandson lives close to the one in Florida. He has been a couple times and loves it. So much to do and see. Love the drivers license!
Ahh lego land looks like a blast! Even for the parents!
Great tips! This looks like a lot of fun.
Tried it and left in the bathroom with wipes for my 4 year old to test. So far so good!
I have found a few homemade recipes, none which use tea so far. I imagine the chamomile would be really gentle and soothing. Going to pin this one for later!
