LEGOLAND Florida
Overview
If you are planning a family holiday in Orlando, LEGOLAND Florida is a must-visit attraction for younger children. Located on the peaceful shores of Lake Eloise in Winter Haven, less than an hour's drive from most Orlando holiday villas, this 145-acre theme park is ideal for families with children aged 2–12. Built on the site of the former botanical Cypress Gardens, LEGOLAND Florida combines interactive rides, shows, and themed zones with opportunities for family fun both in the park and at the nearby water park.
Most families allow two full days to enjoy the theme park and a further day for the LEGOLAND Water Park if desired, making it a perfect addition to a multi-day villa holiday in Orlando.
