The Super AWESOME Legoland Hotel Florida
This year we celebrated the boys 4th birthday with a trip to the Legoland Hotel. The kids were over the moon the entire weekend! Staying at the Legoland Hotel was icing on the (birthday) cake for our trip. It truly helped make the trip one that the kids will remember for years to come.
One of the biggest perks of staying at the hotel (aside from free parking) is how close it is to the Legoland Florida theme park. The hotel is 130 kid-steps away from the entrance! Another cool thing is the fact that every room comes with a seperate kid’s sleeping area. The kid’s sleeping area has a bunk bed, a pull-out trundle bed, a tv, and space for them to build sculptures with their Lego bricks
The hotel is literally a kids dream come true. The entire place is kid-friendly. There are play areas all throughout the hotel including a massive one between the BRICKS Restaurant and Skyline Lounge just off the main lobby. Even the restaurants are kid-friendly fun spaces.
The elevators are also super awesome! As they transport you to your floor, music plays, disco balls spin and strobe lights flash for an elevator dance party. We convinced the kids that they elevator would only move if they were dancing so every time we stepped into it, they danced their little hearts out. It was totally adorable!
Every single kid that we saw at the hotel wore a massive smile. They all seemed to be having the time of their lives. The play area was super lively. The main floor of the hotel has an open floor concept so the lobby, play area, Skyline Lounge, and BRICKS Restaurant are all connected. Because of this, the noise from the play area carries over to the restaurants and lobby making the entire first floor quite loud.

For breakfast, the restaurant offers up an endless all-you-can-eat family-style breakfast. They serve hot traditional breakfast options, fresh fruit, cereal, etc. Breakfast is free for hotel guests.

Skyline Lounge
This super hip restaurant serves up traditional American food for lunch and dinner. They also have a full bar which serves up my favorite gin from the St. Augustine Distillery. We sat down to a delicious steak dinner with cocktails and mocktails on our first night at the hotel. It was a lovely way to kick off our birthday vacation.
Pro-Tip: There is a Publix grocery store across the street from Legoland Florida. You can load up on snacks to munch on in the room, poolside or by the park.
Legoland Hotel Amenities
The Legoland Hotel property rests on the banks of Lake Eloise. There is a beautiful boardwalk that offers stunning views of this picturesque lake.
The main attractions on the property are the heated resort-style pool and the waterslide. The maximum depth of the pool is 4 feet, although most of the pool is less than 3 feet. While we were there, there were 5 lifeguards on duty the whole time (2 at the water slides and 3 at the pool). The pool was filled with large LEGO bricks for the kids to play with in the water.
Our kids favorite things about the Legoland Hotel-
Scoop- “the pool”
Stinky- “the (water)slide and the pool”
Smiley- “the play area and the pool”
We couldn’t keep the kids out of the play areas! Their favorite was the large play area just off the main lobby and the pirate playroom in the Pirate Hotel.
- Free breakfast
- Heated resort-style pool
- Waterslide
- Miniature Golf Course
- Firepit
- Character Meet-and-Greets
- In-Room Treasure Hunts
- Elevator Dance Party
- Play Spaces
Visiting the Legoland Hotel Florida
Many people think Legoland is in Orlando however, it is actually in the town of Winter Haven just southwest of Orlando. It’s about 36 miles, or an hour away from Disney World.
Address: 1 Legoland Way, Winter Haven, FL 33884
Visiting Other Theme Parks from Legoland Hotel
You can easily visit the other Orlando theme parks while staying at the Legoland hotel. While we were staying at the hotel, we met several people who were splitting their time between Legoland and other parks. Disney World, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios are all about an hour away.
Our Thoughts on the Legoland Hotel
The Kids
The Grown-Ups
Our kids were obsessed with the Legoland Hotel. We barely spent any time in our room at all. We spent most of our time in the play areas, and took advantage of the heated pool. The water slide was fast and lots of fun!
When we weren’t playing with LEGO in the play areas, they were playing with them in the room.
The hotel could use a couple of more amenities for kids to do. Laser tag, for instance, would be a huge hit at the hotel. Maybe even a dancing room (to continue the party from the elevator).
They gave the hotel 2 big thumbs up (each!).
The hotel was pretty great. The rooms were a little tired and could use a little updating. The TV in the kid area of our room didn’t work. We reported it to maintenance and they were unable to fix it. They offered us a free s’more kit for the fire pit as compensation.
The lobby is attached to a small play area and a large play area that is nearly always busy…and loud. Get used to seeing kids running around everywhere as they shoot each other with LEGO guns. We found the pirate play area in the Pirate Hotel much quieter.
It would have been nice if the mini-golf was free for hotel guests.
Seeing the kids so happy made it 100% worthwhile. We looked at booking the hotel again the day after we got back from our trip!
