UPDATED DECEMBER 2024. Here at Get Away Today we love exploring all that Southern California has to offer. We especially love the fun and ease of planning a LEGOLAND vacation in north San Diego County.

Our team visits Southern California on a regular basis to check out different attractions, hotels and everything in between so your trip will scream, “Everything is awesome!”

For those planning to get away anywhere in Southern California, Get Away Today is your partner in travel and here to help you every step of the way.

If you have kids who love LEGO bricks, you'll want to make sure you stay at the LEGOLAND Hotel at least once. It’s one of two LEGOLAND Hotels, the other is the LEGOLAND Castle Hotel.

There is nothing else quite like these hotels! Our team has stayed at both multiple times with their own families and all the kids have had a blast.

Bonus Tip: Use this LEGOLAND vacation countdown for a future trip.

Location: LEGOLAND Hotel is located right at the entrance to LEGOLAND, you can’t get any closer.

Additionally, the LEGOLAND Hotel is close to the California coast, making San Diego beaches completely accessible during your vacation. You're also in a convenient location to head north to Disneyland or south to SeaWorld.

There are five different room themes at the LEGOLAND Hotel and they are all awesome. You'll find Pirate, NINJAGO, LEGO Friends, Adventure and Kingdom themed rooms. For example, inside the Adventure themed room you’ll find giant LEGO beetles and other special touches throughout the room.

The grown-ups have their own area with a queen-size bed and kids get their very own space that sleeps up to three children with bunk beds and a pull-out trundle bed. Each sleeping area has its own TV and each room is full of whimsical LEGO surprises. You can upgrade to a premium themed room for even more theming and LEGO features.

In addition to amazing rooms, be ready for your Early Entrance. It’s one of our favorite perks of staying at the LEGOLAND Hotel. You’ll get in before the park opens to the general public - just for hotel guests. Hotel guests each get a nifty button that snaps on - no poky pins for little kids. What don't they think of? This button lets you into the park on rides before everyone else and it is so worth it.

Be sure to pack your swimsuits! LEGOLAND Water Park may only be open seasonally, but the swimming pool at the LEGOLAND Hotel is open year-round. The pool itself is surrounded by LEGO palm trees. The whole family will love building their own pool floaties with giant LEGO pool blocks.

It’s also full of interactive play areas including a 32-foot high pirate shipwreck and the entrance itself is guarded by LEGO dragons.

Beyond the pool, you’ll want to set aside plenty of time to explore the hotel itself. Treat the hotel like an attraction - because it is! When you check-in you'll be given a treasure hunt. There are themed group play areas with giant LEGO pits.

There's nightly entertainment. Even the public bathrooms and elevators are fun! One of the rookie mistakes of staying at the LEGOLAND Hotel is not planning enough time to enjoy it all.

Don't think the party ends when the park closes. There is no shortage of fun at the LEGOLAND Hotel. There are nightly children's shows that your kids will love. After the shows, there are family friendly dance parties. With an on-site restaurant, there's no need to leave the hotel at night. In fact, you'll be missing a lot if you do!

We love the free breakfast that comes with your stay at the LEGOLAND Hotel. It’s a delicious, full breakfast buffet with a dedicated kids' buffet, smoothies, an omelet station and so much more.

When you check-in to the LEGOLAND Hotel, you'll be given your choice of reservation times. Reservation times have a one hour time slot. The closer you get to the park opening, the busier breakfast gets. To avoid waiting to get into breakfast or missing out on valuable park time, take the earliest reservation time and get there at the beginning of the time slot.

We love when our guests leave hotel reviews on our site. Here are some recent reviews from actual Get Away Today customers.

“It’s a fun place for kids with lots of things to do! So close to the park! It’s great for early morning entry and when kids are tired at the end of the day! We love it!”
-Melissa G.

“100% worth staying at their hotels! The breakfast is amazing, the bunkbeds, and the daily prizes for the kids in the treasure safe in-room make it sooooo worth it!”
-Rebecca B.

"Our hotel stay was pretty nice. Unfortunately the rooms were very outdated and the room had a musty smell. We chose to eat at buffet style our first night, the food was not great at all. Gave my daughter a tummy ache. We chose to eat off the resort. Which saved us a ton of money. There aren't microwaves in the rooms either which was a bummer considering my kiddo has to have warm milk for bed. The outside pool was pretty dirty as well. Overall we had a great experience but will choose to stay elsewhere when we return.. Legoland itself was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend going. All my kids ages 4, 7 and 9 had a blast.”
-Ashley G.
