Legoland Water Park opens soon…must see tips!

It is that time of year again, finally…. Legoland Water Park will be open in a few weeks! While I know most of the country is still going through extreme weather as it is still “winter” Southern California has experienced a warm winter. Last week it was in the 80’s and we were at the beach a few days in a row. My son asked if we could go to Legoland Water Park but I had to explain sorry, it isn’t open yet, the opening date is on March 7th, 2015.

Last year was the opening of the Lego Chima Water Park which is a brand new three-acre addition to the watermark. The most exciting part of the new park is Lion Temple Wave Pool, which has depths from 0 to 5 feet and covers over 13,000 square feet. To enter the wave pool you pass through a 18-foot high Lion Temple Arch build from over 260,000 LEGO bricks. As a parent it is the only place in the park to be fully submersed in the water. There is no other pool as deep as the wave pool. I am a not very tall, I say I’m 5’3 but I’m probably closer to 5’1, but don’t tell. Because of this I am almost under the water towards the back of the pool. I recommend putting your child into a life jacket, as it is free and you and your child will have more fun.

Another great new feature at the Chima Waterpark is Speedorz Arena, children can race against each other on one of eight different tracks. The Golden Chi Lego model is made of over 18k lego bricks. It is hard to pull my son away from this area it is his favorite, we now have tons of the speedorz at home because of this, touché legoland touché.

Pirate Reef may be accessed from legoland and the water park, the highlight of pirate reef is the buccaneer boat which goes down a steep drop. Be aware you will get wet on this ride, actually let me rephrase you will be drenched! As in your socks and underwear will be wet, if you come in from the park and not the water park make sure it is a hot day. It will take all day for your clothes to dry otherwise. There are signs now leading up to the ride to let you know you will be getting wet. On both the inside and the outside of the water park there is a family sized dryer for $5, we have used it and I would recommend to dry of your family if needed.
