Lightning
Water Park attractions close when lightning conditions reach LEGOLAND’s safety threshold.
Experience Promise
When management officially activates the Guest Experience Promise, qualifying ticket holders can receive a return visit under the published rules.
Annual Passholders and certain other ticket categories are excluded from this return-ticket policy.
Accessibility & Special-Needs Planning
LEGOLAND Florida states that shops, restaurants, show venues and the majority of resort attractions are ADA accessible. Attraction access can still depend on transfer ability and individual ride requirements.

Guests can bring their own devices. Rentals are also available near the Theme Park entrance, subject to availability.
🧩 HERO Access Pass
LEGOLAND provides an accommodation program for qualifying guests who may have difficulty waiting in standard attraction queues.
