First time Legoland review. We went to Legoland for the first time towards the end of January. We stayed 3 nights at the hotel and spent two days in the park. The trip was an early birthday trip for my son’s upcoming 8th birthday. Our group consisted of two adults and one child. Theme park review: We spent two days in the park, a Friday & Saturday. We stayed both days from open to close. On Friday the wait for rides was next to nothing. There were many we walked straight on and even got to ride multiple times without getting off. We spent Friday riding as many rides as possible and took in a 4D movie as a break. We enjoyed Granny’s Apple Fries a la mode and they were delicious! We purchased a penny book and got pressed pennies throughout the park as a cheap souvenir. When we returned on Saturday it was Ninjago day which was a little busier but still completely manageable. We started at the back of the park each day and tried to work our way forward to cut down on back tracking. Over the course of two days we rode each ride we enjoyed multiple times and took the time to ride everything we could at least once. On Saturday we took more breaks, as it was busier, to watch a 4D movie, shop, watch a live performance and the ski show. During Ninjago day there was also a scavenger hunt in Mini-Land and building competitions. We took advantage of the special items offered on Saturday and had Ninjago themed snacks which were good! The bigger/newer rides got a longer wait time during the busier day but by checking the app we were able to gauge when the wait time was down and got the opportunity to ride. We enjoyed the park so much that we plan to go back!

Having been to LEGOLAND in California, we had some expectations that were sort of met. Encountered quite a few more broken rides and poor slow procedures than expected. The more advanced rides seemed to suffer the most. For example, the VR goggles on the LEGO Race coaster ride worked less than half the time. Of the four of us riding, two goggles were off center the first time. The second and third times several of us had goggles that didn’t work at all. Gave up after the third try. Hit this ride as soon as the park opens to avoid the ride, and avoid the wait for disappointment. Ninjago was down for part of our visit the few times we tried to ride it. The wait times in the app weren’t working during our visit. Lost Adventure ride was also not working during one of our attempts to ride. Staff were often slow and discourteous. They split us up on the boat ride in favor of fast pass riders. The announcer on Mias ride thought it was amusing to make high pitches annoying squeals on the PA to amuse (and potentially insanely distract) the ride operator. Food was ok. Most places seemed understaffed. The famous Apple fries stand had a long lines, with only one poor kid working the shop. Checkin at the pizza buffet also had a long line with two registers but only one being used. They also struggled to keep the buffet stocked. No place to get tea, and very few spots for coffee. Overall, kids enjoyed it. Probably our last trip. Would recommend a full day with minimal crowds and plan ahead. For the price, this park is just average.

For the four of us, it was almost 400$. Just as much as a day at Disney for us. This place reminded me of Pittsburgh Kennywood park with Legos. Things were not maintained well at all. The lego statues were dirty, nobody working in the park seemed enthusiastic at all and nobody seemed to know when anything went on, like shows, character meets, ride openings, etc. We had 3 people how to meet the Lego Friends. No one could give us a straight answer and one person just said "oh, go meet Emmet...that's where they are." She didnt know what we meant. And then, the Mias horse ride in Heartlake city, my girls couldn't go on it because of height. Fine, but the girl standing there said the ride wasnt open for another hour because the tracks were wet. It was 10am, so it would be open by 11. But on the activity sheet it said it wouldn't open until 12. Obviously she didnt know what was going on. I was very disappointed in how boring Heartlake City was, which is my girls favorite. The Mini part, all of it was filthy. The white bricks were a dingy yellow and the race track you could run yourself, one of the tracks was broken. Also half the pressed penny machines didnt work and there was no sign on them. I will say we got to ride everything at least once if not twice and my kids did seem to enjoy the park. But for me, between the staff not knowing what was going on, the dirty lego statues and the false advertising that we could meet the Friends on the app, I just dont think it was worth the cost at all.
