For the kids (and kids at heart) in your travel party, no Central Florida vacation is complete without a stop at LEGOLAND Florida Resort in Winter Haven.
Once home to Florida’s first theme park, Cypress Gardens, the 150-acre interactive LEGOLAND® theme park still features the original botanical gardens and more than 50 rides, shows and attractions, restaurants, shops, LEGOLAND® Florida Water Park, LEGOLAND® Hotel, LEGOLAND Beach Retreat and LEGOLAND® Pirate Island Hotel. The park is also steps from the new Peppa Pig Theme Park.

LEGOLAND Theme Park
At 150-acres, LEGOLAND Florida is the largest interactive LEGOLAND Park in the world. It features more than 50 rides, shows and attractions, restaurants, shopping, a breathtaking botanical garden and the LEGOLAND Water Park, which are all geared to families with children ages 2 to 12.
Rides include pink-knuckle roller coasters, the Imagination Zone, Miniland USA and LEGO® City where youngsters can learn how to drive by freely navigating their own boats and LEGO cars.
Where is LEGOLAND Florida Resort?
LEGOLAND® Florida Resort is located in Winter Haven, Florida, about a one-hour drive from Orlando or Tampa. Hotels rooms can be booked at three available onsite hotels, while vacation rentals can also be found throughout the local area.
LEGOLAND Florida Water Park
It’s Florida and sometimes you just need to beat the heat. That’s why it’s awesome that LEGOLAND Florida is home to its very own water park. Your kids will “ooh” and “ahh” over the water-themed LEGO® models created from more than four million LEGO bricks!
We have a lot more information about the water park, including more photos, in our LEGOLAND Florida Water Park blog post.

LEGOLAND Accommodations
Visitors have three options when staying at LEGOLAND Florida Resort in Winter Haven.

LEGOLAND Hotel
The LEGOLAND Hotel is just as much of an experience as the theme park. The 5-story hotel is just “130 kid steps” from the main entrance of the theme park. The 152-room hotel has highly themed rooms and suites with LEGO® décor and interactive play areas.
LEGOLAND Beach Retreat
LEGOLAND Beach Retreat offers a great way for families and friends to stay (close) and play at The Resort during their Central Florida vacation.
