Discounted Legoland Florida Tickets at Costco

1 Comment

A single day adult admission to Legoland Florida will cost $87 without any discounts ($80 for kids and seniors). Fortunately, for those traveling with families, it is typically common to find free child admission offers with the purchase of an adult ticket. To find the latest Legoland offers, see our Discount Lists tab at the top of the site.

Costco periodically offers guests the chance to purchase discounted tickets to either Legoland California or Legoland Florida. Currently, Costco is selling single day admission to Legoland Florida for only $49.99.

Single day tickets purchase via Costco are valid until December 1, 2015. Tickets are only valid for Legoland Florida and not the waterpark.

In Conclusion

Depending on the size of your party, you will need to determine whether it is better to take advantage of the Costco offer or the free child admission offers.

For example, assuming a family of four with 2 adults and 2 kids.

Regular admission would cost $334 ($87*2 + $80*2)
Purchasing the Costco offer would cost $199.96 ($49.99*4)
However, purchasing the free child ticket offer would be $174 ($87*2)

Clearly, the best offer for this family dynamic would be via the several free child ticket offers listed on our Legoland Florida discount page.

SkiPA Beginner Ticket, Lesson and Rentals

SkiPA offers $49 Beginner Ticket, Lesson and Rentals at participating properties for those just learning to ski. This is a great opportunity to get started for an incredible value. Do note, all the properties have minimum age limitations, which might not accommodate young families.

4th & 5th Grade Snowpass Program

If you have a 4th or 5th grade student, the SkiPA Snowpass program is a no-brainer. Simply register your child, and they receive 3 free light tickets per participating resort with the purchase of a paying adult. This is a perfect bonding activity with your kids and a way to get them outside during the winter.

Overall, the SkiPA program is an excellent program designed to get people out and enjoying skiing with their families.
