Legoland Florida Resorts are a family vacation destination in Winter Haven, Florida. Legoland features a theme park, water park, and on-site accommodations.

It opened as Legoland Florida on October 15, 2011, and later rebranded itself Legoland Florida Resort with the opening of Legoland Hotel in May 2015.

The park encompasses 145 acres (0.59 km2), making it the second-largest Legoland park after Legoland Windsor in the UK. Built on the site of the former Cypress Gardens theme park in Winter Haven, Florida, Legoland preserved the botanical gardens and re-themed the water park and select attractions and venues to reflect various Lego brands.

Legoland Florida Resort offers three hotels for guest accommodations; Legoland Florida Hotel, Legoland Beach Retreat, and Pirate Island Hotel. All three resorts offer gift shops, dining options, free parking, and a resort-style pool.
