Located in the beautiful city of Carlsbad, California (where I hope to live one day), is the home of Legoland California. Legoland has entertained my kiddos for years and is one of the best things to do with kids in the San Diego area. From their Brick or Treat to their expanded water park, to their amazing hotels we always have a blast. However with me having 6 kids theme parks can get pricey, thus we have learned a few ins and out to purchase Legoland discount tickets. Here are some tips to get discounted tickets for your visit to Legoland.
