Highly recommended since we saved more than $200 each person!!! Planning ahead is the key. Highly dependent also to how cooperative your group members are (we’re a family of 3, with 12-yr old). Depending on what experiences you prefer, a 3day itinerary should be the minimum to experience most of LA. Put together those locations close to each other to save on travel time. Check each website to know more about each attraction (you dont want to go there only to find out that it’s closed for the day due to a special event). Because of our awesome experience, we’ll always consider the GO cards when we visit other states!

I booked a vacation in March before Legoland was even open. Bought the Build and Play and the Chima water park tickets. I tried calling every day for two weeks, once I got the email that that were fully opening April 15th. Finally got through a few days before our stay, and I was told that those tickets would be honored and allow entrance into the park. Not the case. Waited in the super long line to get into the park and I was told I had to buy tickets to get into the park. So of course, with an excited 4 1/2 year old what else could I do. UGH!! SO back into the Guest services line, which was very long. They did refund the Chima water park tickets -$20. Wow, thanks. If I had known the tickets would not be honored, I could have purchased tickets ahead of time and saved so much time in line and a major meltdown for a not understanding 4 year old. After all that, the park was so busy, the waits for rides was a minimum of 20 minutes each. I decided to buy the reserve and ride. What a RIP OFF!!! You still have to wait 8-11 minutes and can only reserve one ride at a time. That's crazy! You pay $160 to get into the park and $70 for the Reserve and ride. Total rip off. And why is the Junior Lego Car License ride only like a minute 30 seconds??? You wait all that time in line for that? The Burger Stop was another long line and wait. Both of our burgers were cold. And the ff were not given to us. I had to go back up in line to get them, which was a HUGE hassle. Such a disappointing trip.

I did not actually take their shuttle. This is a review of their website and support. I booked a pick up at LAX for late night Monday, 15 July 2019. During the payment process that all showed correctly. After paying, the pick up showed as scheduled for midnight on 10 January 1970. I immediately called their support line as shown on the webpage. Their support line DID answer. That would be a point in their favor except the guy on the phone was so bad. I (admittedly was upset but not at all abusive) explained the issue. He told me it was MY fault that I had entered it wrong because the screen just takes whatever I entered. WTF?!?! Even if I did it wrong, why accuse the victim instead of addressing the issue?!?!? I called him a liar because that historical date was not even an option! He said he would cancel the reservation so I read him the code. I asked how I would receive cancellation confirmation and he just hung up. He did NOT cancel it. LIAR! Later I cancelled it from the webpage.
