We drove over from Michigan to spend the weekend and do tourist stuff. I was kinda worried reading some of the reviews but we had a fun time. Please book tickets online, you will save $$. We spent from 11am-3pm building cars, riding the dragon shooting game, watching the 4D movie and just enjoying family time.

I had heard many good things about Legoland, so I decided to surprise my boyfriend and his son by taking them one Saturday. When I looked over the website, I was kind of worried that it wasn't going to be all that it said. I was quite impressed once we got there. Plenty to see and do! We had a... More

This place is a total value for money. A half day affair for kids which should not be missed. My daughter loved the 4D Lego Cartoon show and we kept sitting for more. The Lego made Chicago city structures were great and I would certainly return ! Do not miss using the restroom which makes funny sounds while you are... More

The facility entertained my son very well. He didn't notice how dirty and run-down the exhibits were. None of the interactive parts of Mini Chicago or Mini Star Wars worked. The floors were so disgusting, as was the ladies' room. The employees were 99% lovely to us. And by going on a Monday during the school year, we could have... More

My daughter and her friend were 10 when we visited and they had a good time. The displays were great and the activities were fun. I loved the little dragon ride and the Lego statue of President Obama. As with all attractions, you exit through the gift shop, so be ready for that!

We visited for my son's 5th birthday and he had a great time. I purchased tickets online and didn't need to print them out or anything. Buying tickets online saved about 5 dollars per ticket, so I recommend doing this. No, this place is not cheap, but few amusement park-like attractions are inexpensive these days. My son had a great... More

Many of the hands-on exhibits for the kids were out of service. The lego built structures were dirty and had layers of dirt on them. Merlin Company was wise to add the 4D movies and the laser gun to rack up points on the "people mover coaster" ride. The 4D movies were good, but the "4D" effects were minimal. The... More

Staff were very friendly and entertaining. Our 5 year old daughter loved the 4D theater, the rides, and the play area. We spent a good 4 hours playing there. Seems like there could be more things to do, but our daughter had a great time regardless.

We visited here for Spring Break. My girls are 15, 7 and 5. This place is aimed at children 12 and under. I would say kids under the age of 10 would be more like it. It is overpriced (buy your tickets online, I paid $12 for after 3pm admission, normal price is $20) and it is smaller than I... More
