Keep in mind the theme park is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays this month but remains open an hour or two later on weekends.

It's also worth pointing out that the water park is only open select dates in May. It will open fully for the season on May 26. However, until then it will only be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Overall, LEGOLAND Florida Resort boasts dozens of rides and attractions inspired by various themes, including the new interactive LEGO NINJAGO The Ride, which TravelPulse's own Joel Cordes reviewed with his family last month.
