LAST UPDATE: 9/19/24

Legoland California is a family amusement park located in Carlsbad, in North San Diego County. It offers more than 50 rides, shows and attractions. It’s a beautiful park, and great for young children. Legoland tickets can be expensive, but there are frequent promotions, coupons, and other ways to get a Legoland ticket discount. They are closed for some Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the winter so consult their calendar before visiting. Check below for the latest Legoland admission discounts, coupons, and offers.

Legoland California’s newest land is Dino Valley, a dinosaur themed land with 2 new rides plus the Coastersaurus. There is an interactive dinosaur build and play area, along with meet and greets with dino-themed characters. Tickets to Legoland California include admission to Dino Valley.

Sea Life Aquarium is located right next door to Legoland and features play zones, fun facts and quiz trails.

Legoland Water Park has four-person raft slides, single-person tube slides, body slides, a lazy river and hands-on toddler areas. It is open seasonally.

AAA Ticket Discounts

AAA is a loosely associated group of clubs that each cover a small geographical area, usually a single state or portion of a state. Different clubs have different offers, so it’s worth checking both your own AAA state club and the Southern California AAA club websites. To check your own state club, just go to AAA.com and you will be redirected (usually) to your local club. If you haven’t yet set up your online access, you’ll sometimes need to do that to see your local club’s discounts. To check the Southern California site, use this link and enter zip code 92008. Once you get to the club home page, select the “Discounts & Rewards” tab and then select “Theme parks & attractions.”

If a particular discount on the Southern California site involves booking online through the club site, you will usually need to be a Southern California member. Discounts that involve showing your card at the gate are available to any AAA member. If you can get to a Southern California AAA club office, you can usually take advantage of offers that must be bought in person, even if you’re a member of a different AAA club.

Generally AAA members can get a 5% admission discount at the gate, and sometimes discounts on other things such as food or merchandise.

Costco Ticket Discounts

Costco members can sometimes purchase Legoland tickets at significant discounts, either in your local store or on Costco.com. Non-members can buy from the online site, but pay a 5% surcharge. There is a shipping charge when ordering from Costco.com.
