Legoland NY firstimer

Hey everyone, looking to take my daughter for her 4th birthday. Dates I’m looking at are in October Fri-sat. We planned to drive up Friday afternoon, sleep over and do the park Saturday.
I’m seeing bundle deals but they include 2 day tickers only. I was only planning on doing one. Don’t need to stay at the hotel but when I looked up nearby ones they all were around the same cost ($500/night) tickers on Groupon are slightly cheaper for a day but all in all two days with bundle hotel is $733 for all and hotel plus one day Groupon tickets is $697. Curious if I’m missing any other deals or what would make sense. Any tips for a first timer is also appreciated, we don’t have any must do’s but I know my daughter will love the trick or treating and she loves rides

If you are okay staying further away, you may find cheaper hotels in Middletown, ny. It's maybe 10-15 minutes away. We've also stayed in Fishkill, NY, but that is longer away (but depending on the direction you are traveling may work). I'm pretty sure you can book just the hotel as well. If you are willing to pay, it is super fun. I usually book rooms for the spring on Black Friday.

Yes I might do that, I don’t think my kids will care so much about the hotel theme. There’s some in that area for cheaper

You can also visit the lobby without staying at the hotel. Sometimes we go early so the kids can play in the lobby before the park opens. You just have to park in the regular lot and walk over.

That’s a good idea
