Legoland Activities for young children

Will toddlers and preschoolers find plenty to do at Legoland? YES!

As you can tell by the photos in the slides, Legoland is colorful, unique, and varied. And if your toddler doesn't like to stand in line, Legoland has the MOST activities of any Southern California theme park that are ready for them to enjoy without standing in a queue. See even MORE Legoland pics and get the scoop about little-kid fun as you scroll down this page!



If you come to Legoland Park with toddlers or preschoolers, chances are you'll spend a nice-sized chunk of your day in the delightful "Explore Village" area of the park. At "Explore Village," you'll find several rides with no "minimum height" requirement, plus activities that let youngsters play and explore.

Other activities of special interest to toddlers and preschoolers are scattered throughout the park. You'll enjoy the unique, only-at-Legoland attractions nearly as much as your little ones do!

Legoland Activities for Preschoolers

LEGOLAND EXPRESS CHOO CHOO TRAIN: The Fairy Tale Brook boats are in the "Explore Village" section of the park, where you'll also find the children's train ride called "The Legoland Express." This little choo choo will give you a small trip around this area of Legoland California. You and your preschoolers will want to give this a try. After all, what youngster isn't fascinated by trains? There is no minimum height requirement for this Legoland train. All aboard!





PLAYTOWN AREA: Next, prepare to sit a spell while your little cutie has a ball playing make-believe and investigating the little buildings at "Playtown," which is also located in the Explore Village area. You'll find a collection of toddler-sized buildings that will allow preschoolers to feel all grown up as they explore and play in a town that's just their size.

WATER PLAY! Close to the Playtown area, children will enjoy several other interactive play areas...and a water-play area, as well. As you can see in a photo further down this page, water comes spouting out of musical instruments in one play setting. (And, of COURSE, these instruments are made entirely of Lego Bricks!) And, as you see in a different photo further down this page, whimsical frogs become targets in a different pond. Can you get the stream of water into the frog's mouth? And, of course, the frogs and their lily pads are made of Legos, too!

CHARACTER GREETINGS: In the Village theater, tykes can meet and greet characters that have been featured within Lego building kits---for example, the Bionicle hero, Tahu Nuva. Other characters include Johnny Thunder and Miss Pippin Reed. Now, I'm not familiar with these characters, and maybe you aren't either. But, these colorfully costumed characters are interesting to see nevertheless, and give parents still more great Legoland photo opportunities!







LEGO NATURE WALK: Now, we'll move on to discuss preschooler-pleasing activities in other sections of the park. In the "Knight's Kingdom" area, you'll find an attraction called the Enchanted Walk. You can take a stroll through a garden area while you enjoy looking at little animals and plants that are scattered along the trail. Of course, since this is the Legoland theme part, you'll be spotting flora and fauna made of Lego building bricks!

PLAY STRUCTURE: As you may have read on the "Legoland fun for ages 5-8" page, you'll find The Hideaways multi-level play structure within the Knights Kingdom themed area. Officially, this "get-the-wiggles-out" play area has no minimum age or height. What you'll find, however, is that on busy days older children will be running throughout the structure...and not particularly looking where they're going. This can be a danger to little toddlers who aren't yet terribly steady on their feet. Be sure to assess the situation before your toddler enters to play. (On other days, however---especially on days when older kids are in school---the Hideaways may be nearly empty.)


DRESS-UPS FOR SALE: If you have an imaginative child who likes to play dress-up and pretend games, you'll want to check out the cute Knight's Kingdom shops. Here, you'll be able to purchase dress-ups for both boys and girls. You'll find costumes that will turn your child into a princess, a pirate or a knight in shining armor! Matching accessories are available...for example, plastic swords and shields are just waiting for a duel between young knights-in-armor!

MORE Legoland Activities for toddlers!

Dino Island activities for preschoolers: At Dino Island, you'll find a unique activity---the "Dig Those Dinos" exploration area. The scenario is that your child has stumbled across an ancient dinosaur burial site, and---as a budding archaeologist---he or she must dig up the valuable bones in the interest of science!

For digging, your child will want tools...and on this point, you have 3 options. First, you may bring your own little tools into the park and play in the "Dig those Dinos" area free-of-charge. Or, you may rent a set of tools for a nominal fee. Or---if you'd really like a tool set to take home with you---you may buy a set of digging tools right at the play area. Either way, digging is just one of those activities that preschoolers always seem to enjoy.

Fun Town activities for preschoolers: Be sure to head over to the "Fun Town" area of Legoland California, where your preschooler will enjoy the Volvo Jr. Driving School. This special area---where preschoolers actually get a chance to drive a "car"---is limited to youngsters age 3--5...eliminating your worry about older kids bumping and banging into your little one. You'll also find play areas where toddlers can run & romp, and water-play areas where they can splash. This is a very cute area, so bring your camera!

Lego teams up with Thomas the Tank Engine!

You can find Lego's Thomas the Tank Engine playsets on the Ebay auction website...often at substantially discounted prices from what you can find at your local mall's toy store. Lego sets featuring Thomas & friends are on sale at Ebay every day of the week...as you'll see in the interactive widget below. When one Thomas the Tank Engine item sells, a different auction fills in to take its place! So, by the next time you return to this page, all new Lego-Thomas train toys will be up for bid. You never know what you'll find next!
