### 3/5 — Useful but not that accurate

*2026-03-24, version 8.5.8*

Useful map for getting around the park, but the wait times were often extremely inaccurate (both ways).

### 5/5 — Always an amazing experience

*2025-08-26, version 8.5.2*

We recently moved to san Diego county and before summer started my husband and I decided to surprise our kids with season passes to LegoLand. It was our first time as a family visiting LegoLand and let me tell you my kids love it! It’s so kid friendly I love how even when toddlers are to you g to ride some rides there is always something to do for them in every section of the park. We visit the park once a week and my kids get excited like if it were the first time. I recommend buying season passes to everyone.

### 4/5 — Needs food menus

*2025-07-18, version 8.5.1*

The app was great overall, but the one thing that is missing is the food menus from all the restaurants which was quite frustrating.

### 4/5 — Lego land

*2025-05-01, version 8.4.14*

I like the lego land app because you can look at the times and check the shows. and when your lost look at the directions also you can check out the dining. thats my review about the “LEGOLAND California”

### 5/5 — It is the best

*2025-03-25, version 8.4.14*

100/10

### 4/5 — App needs updating

*2025-02-28, version 8.4.14*

I love your app, but one thing to consider: Multiple paths were blocked because of construction or something,  We used the app for directions and it sent us on a goose chase.  It would have been awesome if the app was similar to navigational apps for cars where it will guide you around detours.

I can only imagine how many other app users experience the same difficulties.

Other than that, we LOVE the app and LEGOLAND

### 4/5 — Overall great

*2025-02-22, version 8.4.13*

My sister in law and I had an overall great time with my 2 nieces however, it was frustrating at times when the staff were unaware of the procedures regarding my niece using the stroller as a wheelchair (we did get the sticker stating that the stroller served as a wheelchair). There were 2 incidents that we almost had to argue with staff members to allow my niece to stay in the stroller (one in line and one for a show) until they actually looked at our stroller and saw the sticker. In addition, we weren’t directed by staff on how to enter rides using the Assisted Access Pass and we often played the guessing game. The wheelchair access and exit signs weren’t very clear nor noticeable. Really hoping staff are trained appropriately especially when Legoland is deemed a Certified Autism Center.

### 2/5 — Many rides and attractions are closed.

*2025-02-21, version 8.4.13*

We bought tickets on line, same price but many rides and attractions were closed, we got super disappointed. The park have to explain that on the website otherwise they are tricking us with expensive tickets.

### 5/5 — Great weekend get-a-way!

*2025-02-17, version 8.4.13*

What a great trip! Everyone was so kind and courteous throughout our whole trip! I especially want to thank Christian who was working one of the LEGOLAND games inside the park! He was so kind and patient with my kids! So excited for our next trip!

### 4/5 — 4star

*2024-12-29, version 8.4.13*

minor suggestions- On map easy access to restroom locations. Reserve & ride or wait time app area- Mention which area of park the attractionis located.

### 3/5 — Ok for navigation, could be improved

*2024-12-21, version 8.4.13*

Good to help you navigate the park but estimated wait time is not always accurate. Food places could do with having menus available and mobile order and pickup would be a great feature to have. Would also be helpful to have filter options for height restrictions for the attractions

### 5/5 — Very useful for a legoland visit

*2024-11-30, version 8.4.13*

Find show times and locations of attractions. Gives walking directions to park locations, with options for wheelchair accessible routes.

### 5/5 — Legoland

*2024-10-22, version 8.4.12*

App is great for using at the park. We had a great day here

### 5/5 — Very helpful in navigation and planning your day

*2024-10-19, version 8.4.12*

Loved this app. Helped us a lot in navigating the theme park to get wherever we needed to go once in the park. The directions provided through the app are accurate. Ride wait time estimates were also accurate and helpful to plan our day.

### 5/5 — CUTEST PLACE

*2024-09-26, version 8.4.11*

PLACE IS PERFECT FOR TODDLERS !!!
We came from Reno & went for my babies 4th bday heights 44 & 34 . They went on all rides they absolutely loved it

### 4/5 — Fun but long lines..

*2024-08-14, version 8.4.10*

The pizza there was terrible and it was 50$
The Ninjago coaster was closed for most of the day? All lines were about 30+ minutes

### 5/5 — Jaws set

*2024-08-05, version 8.4.9*

So excited to buy the new Jaws Lego set today. The cashiers were just as excited as my 11 year old nephew and I was. 😊

### 3/5 — Map mostly label-less

*2024-07-28, version 8.4.9*

Unless you’re searching a specific category the map is just shapes not labeled. It was a little hard for me to confirm we were in the correct path without them.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Says can’t find information

*2025-04-12, version 8.4.14*

Cant upload passes even with emailed order number copied and pasted

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2024-12-19, version 8.4.13*

The app has basic information about the park, but is really terrible for managing your purchases and visit. Half of the buttons open an embedded web browser where you are logged out and don't have any of your ticket or pass info which you have already saved in the app. You have to make a reservation to use your annual pass, which isn't even mentioned when buying the pass. It's a frustrating and terrible app experience.

### 1/5 — Worst park and app in Southern California

*2024-07-05, version 8.4.8*

Let’s start with the app - the wait times are completely wrong.  It says 20 minutes when it is actually 70.  It says 70 and you can visibly see the line is very short.  

Next for the park - run down.  The blocks are faded.  The rides break down frequently.  The people who work there look and act miserable.  It is also incredibly dirty.  Gum everywhere.  Trash everywhere.  Stick to literally any other park.  The Zoo and Seaworld are only 45 minutes south, and Disneyland is only an hour and a half north.  All cost similar or less once you take into account all the fees and mark ups.

### 1/5 — Unhelpful

*2023-12-17, version 8.4.3*

This app is ok for wait times, but doesn’t hold my passes correctly (and now don’t even have physical passes), can’t make reservations with attached passes (why are there even reservations at this point?), doesn’t have accurate shows and times, and didn’t list any holiday activity info. It is not very helpful and difficult to use.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-10-08, version 8.3.8*

Between the app and the website it couldn’t be less clear how to do reserve n ride. This pile of junk wasted our first hour and a half in the park. Hard to be more dissatisfied.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-09-23, version 8.3.7*

Cannot add the online tickets I bought to the app. It asks for an order number but the confirmation email only provides a booking number, which does not work. Small details like this makes me worried they don’t have their stuff together.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2022-06-18, version 8.3.3*

The park is great. The app is awful.

### 1/5 — Pretty worthless app

*2022-06-09*

The map has some info, but we found using google maps was better. The app would not link up our tickets. They say to enter your "Order Number" but there is no such thing on the confirmation email, and the "Booking Number" on our email confirmation didn't work. We also found the app layout was pretty confusing. Again, it was easier to google something than use the app. Happily, the park itself was great, even if the app isn't.

### 1/5 — Won’t link

*2022-05-27, version 8.3.3*

I made a reservation for hotel, park, and dinner online on my computer. I have confirmation email for everything. To help me when I’m at the park I downloaded the app logged in using same email and according to the app I have no reservation for anything. I can’t purchase ride n reserve any where. 
  
I plan ahead it reduces stress for me and my kid. So not being able to see every reservation in one spot is stressful and annoying. 

Also I try add ticket and pass and I never received and order number only a confirmation one. They are making it way more difficult then it need to be.

### 1/5 — Somewhat Functional

*2021-07-10, version 8.2.1*

Overall the app works most of the time, but there are some huge gaps in performance and features when compared to other amusement parks for example:
1. You can’t add your annual pass to the app
2. Half the time rides disappear from search when the rides are running
3. Food locations also disappear from search 
4. Food locations do not post menus
5. The water park is shown on the map, but you can’t get info on the rides, height requirements, temporarily closed attractions or food locations.

This app has a lot of ground to catch up on to meet customer expectations.

### 5/5 — Best B-Day Ever

*2026-06-25, version 8.5.12*

We celebrated our son’s BDay at Legoland and the entire family had a great time, including the teenagers!! It was awesome, we especially loved the water park and spent lots of time lounging in the wave pool and chilling in the Lazy river. Excellent summer day!

### 5/5 — Awesome place !

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2026-04-19, version 8.5.10*

For once, a park app that doesn’t suck. Has wait times, directions to next attraction. Actually a useful app.

### 5/5 — App is a must with a visit!

*2026-03-15, version 8.5.7*

This app was a lifesaver and so much easier to use than the Disneyland app. Can’t wait to go back!

### 5/5 — Haven’t been in three years

*2026-03-13, version 8.5.7*

The new space themed area was great. They made modifications in Dino land, they were great.  All the improvements in the last three years, made the Park a more special place.

### 5/5 — My favorite theme park

*2026-03-09, version 8.5.7*

This app literally is the best, there is so much fun you can do on this app. Also LEGOLAND is the best theme park in my opinion, if you’re a lego fanatic and enjoy building things AND you love theme parks, this is the perfect fit. As an 18 year old with adhd I’ve been to this place many times and still enjoy it, it’s literally my fun place :) the new lego galaxy land is SOO FUNN. I love how everything is close together, the build a rocket is literally right next to the U.F.O Restaurant  and close by the orbital outpost store after you get off galacticoaster. Biff Dipper is one of their new animatronics and I have to say I’mImpressed with it. He’s so smooth and so awesome. The ride part was really quick but so fun. It’s definitely worth the hour wait lol

Thanks for a great time LEGOLAND! Your staff went above and beyond to show us a great time. The rides were super fun and the displays were awesome!

### 5/5 — Everything is truly awesome!

*2025-11-17, version 8.5.4*

The song holds true, everything is awesome! We are so happy with everything, thank you for all the hard work that makes this place so great!
