\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, my daughter and I visited Legoland California<\/strong><\/a> for the first time. The friends we went with had been there before, but when the oldest kid was only two. So, our visit was a total of two adults, two kids (ages 3 and 4), and one baby (less than a year old). As a member of the Legoland Blogger Program<\/strong><\/a>, my daughter and I received complimentary park hopper tickets. Our friends took advantage of the “Buy one adult ticket, get one child ticket free” promotion with Subway<\/strong><\/a>, which is a promo coupon you can pick up in-store, and is good online until 9\/26\/17, and at the gate until the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Since we live in Los Angeles, we spent the night at a hotel in Dana Point, 30 minutes north of Carlsbad. Initially, we were going to stay in Carlsbad, but my friend’s timeshare in that location was already at capacity. The hotel stay helped us get a good night’s rest, which would have been impossible had we driven straight from L.A.<\/p>\n

Parking<\/h2>\n

There are two options for car parking: $17 general and $25 preferred. I opted for the $25 parking because we had 3 kids and one stroller. Also, I always seem to get lost trying to find my car in a big lot. I could tell there were some seasoned Legoland park go-ers because we saw guests with covered pull-wagons!<\/p>\n
