Two attractions, one address
Legoland Discovery Centre and Sea Life are neighbours inside the Forum Istanbul shopping mall (Bayrampaşa, European side). The Tiqets listing read on 30 October 2026 gives Legoland's hours as 11am to 6:30pm daily, last entry roughly two hours before closing. Everything is indoors: a good plan for rain or fierce heat with children aged about 3 to 10. Our page: Legoland and Sea Life at Forum Istanbul.
Combined or separate?
| Option | Price seen | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Legoland only, online | about 851 to 891 TL | Two different official snapshots, depending on date |
| Combined Legoland + Sea Life, online | about 1,296 to 1,382 TL | Sea Life advertises a 15% saving, valid 90 days |
| Same combined ticket at the desk | about 1,440 to 1,535 TL | Dearer than online |
The gaps come from the two snapshots we read (October 2026): confirm the price on the day. The combined ticket pays off once you do both sites; if you only do one, buy the single ticket. Children aged 0 to 2 enter free; under-18s must be accompanied by an adult at Legoland.
The Tiqets offer
The Tiqets combined listing showed 3.3 out of 5 (11 reviews) when we read it, and advises booking at least 24 hours ahead. Open the listing before paying to see the inclusions and cancellation terms: the preview we read did not detail them. The Istanbul tourist pass shown on the same page from €159 is only worth it if you plan to visit many paid sites.
The traps
- Madame Tussauds. The Istanbul museum has been closed since late 2024, yet some sales pages still list a Legoland + Madame Tussauds combo: do not buy it.
- Opening hours differ between the sites; Sea Life opens earlier than Legoland.
- Slots. Pick a weekday: weekends and rainy days are busiest.
Getting there
Metro M1 to Kocatepe station, then a 5-minute walk. From Sultanahmet allow about an hour with one change; see getting around Istanbul. Another outing with children closer to the centre: the Florya aquarium or Istanbul with children.
Frequently asked questions
Is the combined ticket worth it? Yes if you do both attractions; otherwise buy the single ticket.
How long should I allow? About two hours per attraction.
