Visitors cab enjoy the “Year of the Pirate” and more event days than ever before with an Awesome Annual Pass for less than $12 a month and no down payment. Awesome Annual Passes include unlimited access to the theme park, water park, seasonal events, free standard parking and discounts on retail, dining and hotel rates.

Located near the theme park entrance, Legoland Pirate Island Hotel opens April 17 and will feature 150 Lego-filled rooms (including four suites), a heated pool (complete with Lego soft bricks to build in the pool), hundreds of Lego models, in-room Lego treasure hunts and exclusive character experiences. Similar to the popular Legoland Hotel, each room will include two separate spaces: a kid’s sleeping area and an adult area.

The five-story hotel will house the pirate-themed Shipwreck Restaurant with family-style dining, Smuggler’s Bar for adult swashbucklers, an entertainment area with kid-friendly nightly programming and Lego play areas. Also, with every overnight stay, guests will enjoy a complimentary family-style breakfast. Directly outside the entrance to the hotel, a pirate shipwreck will greet guests and offer a unique photo opportunity.

Sailors, seadogs and pirates of all ages can learn to walk like a pirate, talk like a pirate and vacation like a pirate in this brand-new, three-weekend event April 18 through May 3. Guests can complete an exclusive “pirate passport” while exploring resort-wide activities, meet exclusive pirate characters and run a rig with a scurvy pirate bunch following the grand opening of Pirate Island Hotel.
