Complete eBook Guide to Legoland Florida
Legoland Florida is the Sunshine State's newest theme park and water park, built on the grounds of the old Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven, Florida. Because of its rich legacy, Legoland Florida is a lush, beautiful park that has even preserved the historic Cypress Gardens area.

If you and your family like Lego bricks and toys, you'll love this theme park. From Miniland USA, with its impressive Lego models of sights from Florida and major US cities to rides like Coastersaurus and Driving School to imagination building activities, Legoland Florida is a paradise for kids from the ages of two to 12. It's also got plenty to appeal to adults, who can ride most of the rides. There are shows, too, including a pirate-themed performance on Lake Eloise, complete with water skiing, and three 4-D movies.

If you're visiting on a hot Florida day, upgrade your ticket to include water park admission. Legoland Florida's water park has a wave pool, slides, and a lazy river with customizable rafts.

The park is midway between Walt Disney World and Busch Gardens Tampa, making it a great stop on your Orlando or Tampa vacation. If you decide to do this, how can you make the most of your day at Legoland Florida? This book tells you everything you need to know.
