LEGOLAND California is our most requested theme park for families with younger kids, and Costco comes up almost every time. I’m a member too, so I get why.
Costco has a LEGOLAND ticket right now. It is the right buy for a small slice of readers: locals, families staying a week in Carlsbad, and long visits with family there. For everyone else, our ticket store beats it by about $30 per person for the same three venues.
As of August 23, 2026, Costco is carrying a 3-Day Resort Hopper covering the theme park, SEA LIFE Aquarium and the Water Park. It is $129.99 for members, item #2040260, and the reliable way to get one is Costco.com. Warehouses are hit or miss, mine does not stock theme park tickets at all, so I would not drive over on the chance.
Before you buy, know that this ticket runs out. LEGOLAND’s own terms for it:
- All three visits have to be completed by October 30, 2026. If you are buying in late September, you have a month to fit them in.
- Your second and third visits have to fall within 60 days of the first.
- Blocked out on July 4 and October 3, 10, 17 and 24, which are the October Saturdays.
- The Water Park and SEA LIFE have to be visited on the same day as your LEGOLAND day.
- No reservation needed. Scan your ticket at the entrance each day, and again at each attraction.
What Costco Sells Online
Costco does not keep a standing catalog of theme park tickets. What appears is intermittent. As of August 2026, alongside the LEGOLAND 3-Day above, they are also carrying a Universal Studios Hollywood season pass. Theme park tickets surface at Costco this way, one at a time and without notice.
Remember, we have a lot of LEGOLAND ticket deals.
In-Store Availability
In-store is genuinely hit or miss. I regularly check a handful of Costco locations in Southern California, including the one in Carlsbad near LEGOLAND and the huge warehouse on Morena Boulevard near my house, and through early 2026 I had not seen consistent in-store deals. My own warehouse still does not stock theme park tickets. If you are already at a Costco, ask the customer service desk. But I would not build a trip around what a specific warehouse happens to have.
Tip: Don’t assume it’s a great deal
Look at what the park is offering online before you buy at Costco. Several months back, there was a SEA Life Hopper deal at the warehouse near my mom’s house in Huntington Beach. The savings were not much: LEGOLAND’s website had a lower sale price that week.
What About LEGOLAND Vacations Through Costco Travel
The travel agency division, Costco Travel, offers a handful of theme park vacation packages, but LEGOLAND isn’t one of them. I haven’t seen either of the LEGOLAND California hotels on offer lately, either.
Some San Diego vacation packages involve rental cars, hotels, and flights, but none are specific to the park’s hotels or tickets.
Costco’s Former LEGOLAND Annual Pass Discount
Costco used to sell a LEGOLAND PlayPass, an annual pass, but nobody has reported one in-store for years. LEGOLAND itself has a monthly-pay option now if the sticker price is the sticking point. For which tier makes sense at your visit frequency, see my LEGOLAND annual pass comparison.
