It’s been an amazing year at Legoland Florida, and it’s not over yet. The park has officially become a resort, with the addition of the Legoland Florida Hotel, and added a whole new land with Lego Friends Heartlake City. Now comes a huge deal for Florida Residents at the Legoland Hotel. If that wasn’t enough, guests going to the Legoland Hotel can officially exchange their money for Legoland Florida bucks at one of the world’s leading independent foreign exchange business.

First, beginning September 1st, and running through December 17th, Florida Residents can save up to 35% on mid-week stays at the Legoland Florida Hotel.

Legoland Dollars are now listed on Travelex’s currency exchange boards at 55 participating Travelex locations, making it the first theme park to have an official currency listed on a currency exchange board. The LEGOLAND Dollarwill be available for purchase at a 1:1 exchange rate to the US Dollar, with a minimum exchange of $5 USD. With a $50 USD purchase, guests will receive $50 in LEGOLAND Dollars, plus an additional $39.25 in added value, including free parking, an upgrade to the LEGOLAND Water Park and an order of the resort’s famous Granny’s Apple Fries. LEGOLAND Dollars can be spent at any of the park’s restaurants, concessions, retail stores and more.
“Everything at LEGOLAND Florida Resort is created for kids, including the currency. By using LEGOLAND Dollars with a playful design, it builds on the immersive experience for young guests. Although we accept U.S. currency, only LEGOLAND Dollars will get you an additional $39.25 in added value,” said Adrian Jones, General Manager, LEGOLAND Florida Resort.
“We’re pleased to add the LEGOLAND dollar to our extensive range of currencies this summer. Of course, LEGOLANDFlorida Resort comes as highly recommended by my two sons, ages 4 and 8, but we’re also happy to offer additional value and benefits to our customers through this partnership”, said Christopher McShane, Head of Retail, Travelex.
