What are the best attractions at Legoland?
Legoland offers a fun experience for every visitor. Aside from food and drinks carts, ice cream booths, sideshows, and gift shops (many of which offer exclusive items and LEGO sets that can’t be purchased elsewhere), here are some of the famous Legoland attractions that you can experience when visiting any of the Legoland theme parks.
Duplo Land
The Duplo Land is built to cater to the little ones. It has a mini-train called Duplo Express which allows kids to easily stroll around the entire area. It is also the home for LEGONDOL, a mini Ferris wheel for kids.
Duplo Land can be experienced in Legoland theme parks located in Denmark, United Kingdom, and Florida.
Legoland Water Park
If you want to experience building boats with LEGO bricks, or float around a lazy river riding a big LEGO raft, then this attraction is the best for you. The incredible Legoland water park has tons of aqua fun for the family.
You can experience Water Park in Legoland theme parks in California, Florida, Malaysia, and Dubai.
LEGO City
The LEGO City is often considered the most popular attraction in all Legoland. Almost all the nine theme parks of Legoland have a LEGO city.
One of the most popular rides in LEGO City is the Driving School. Kids will be taking the wheels of their very own car and will drive their way around the city. While driving, they can encounter traffic lights, LEGO policemen, and even speed cameras. Live out your Speed Champions dreams with this attraction!
Two of the other famous rides are Deep Sea Adventure and Coastguard HQ where kids can ride boats across the waterways of LEGO City and find LEGO creatures.
