Our goal with this thread is to have the most comprehensive list of Legoland California discounts available on the internet. If there are any discounts that are not listed, or for some reason links are no longer working, please let us know in the comments or by contacting us. See bottom of this thread for history of latest updates.
Before you dive into using promotional codes to purchase your Legoland tickets, you might want to spend a moment reading the list of coupon FAQs on the Legoland site, which may help answer any of your additional questions or concerns about the tickets. Keep in mind we have no affiliation with Legoland, and any problems incurred (i.e. you did not receive an email confirmation, etc.) need to be addressed directly with Legoland. We simply gather the best discount information that we can find, and pass it along to the consumer to save you money.
If you were able to take advantage of any of our offers, you can repay us by simply following us on Facebook or Twitter. Thank you and have a great time!
Attention Foreign Travelers: If you reside outside of the United States and are attempting to purchase tickets using one of the online offers listed below, you will not be able to without a U.S. address. Legoland agents have informed us that if you print out the actual Legoland promotion page with all of the information (not this list on InACents, but the actual Legoland offer linked below), and take it to the ticket office, they will be able to help you there.
Agents have also informed us that there is a possible workaround by entering in any U.S. address into the system, and then printing the tickets at home. However, we have skepticism on whether this will actually work as the address is usually tied to your credit card to verify your identity. If you are able to get this to work, please comment below.

Do you need the coupon from shutterfly to present it at the gate?
@Brenda: Yes, typical with Legoland, they include language that requires the original coupon and not photocopies.
Oh ok, so just to clarify, I can purchase it online and use the code however at the gate I have to present the coupon as well?
@Brenda: Actually, for that particular one, after you purchase the tickets online using the Shutterfly code, you should be good to go, since the tickets are printed at home by you. They should not ask for the coupon at the gate. Sorry for the confusion.
Can we use the shutterfly code 2x for 2 adults and 2 children?
@Deborah, you will need to break apart the purchase into two transactions.
Did anyone try this already? Is this valid?
Maribel: All offers are official ticket promotions from Legoland, and thousands of people have used them to save money on the purchase of their tickets.
The code 139916 is not applying to the adult ticket??It says unable to apply
how can use my coupons I got at the wendys can someone tell me hoew does that work
