Legoland Water Park Cabana Rentals

by

Legoland Water Park is located in Carlsbad, California and is an amazing place to bring your kids.  We go at least once a week during the summer, and I have to say I enjoy it as much as my 5-year-old does!  A great option if you are planning on spending the day is renting a cabana.  It is great to have a place to sit, relax, and refuel when needed.  Included in the cabana rental is ten beverages (juice, water, & soda) in your own mini-frig, two complimentary towels, a duplo table with bricks for the kids to play with, and a full size family locker rental.  There are only 11 cabana rentals available, if you plan to reserve one you may do so in advance by calling (760) 438-5346.

If you have older children 6 and up I would recommend the cabanas by the Build a Raft River.  The cabanas in that area are Shark, Manta Ray, Parrot and Dolphin.  All of these are great because they are right by the Joker Soaker and you can watch you kids go down the larger water slides as well.  If you have younger children under age 6 reserve a cabana in the Duplo Splash Safari area, the best cabana in this area is Polar Bear.  The Polar Bear cabana is very close to the three water slides for younger children.  If you have toddlers or babies the cabanas Monkey, Tiger, Giraffe, and Elephant are great options because they are right by the Safari Splash Zoo.  If you do not plan to purchase a cabana plan to arrive at the water park when it opens.  This will allow for you to get a chair or chairs near where your children will spend most of his or her day.

The Cabana Full-Day Rental is broken down by hours of operation as listed below:

12pm-5pm $99.99
10am-5pm $129.99
10am-6pm $129.99
10am-7pm $179.99

LEGOLAND Water Park lockers are available for the duration of the day, allowing you entry/exit as needed to your contents stowed inside.  For a small locker it is $7.00 and the large is $9.00. For more information on lockers and cabana rentals click here.
