Overall my kids aged 3 and 7 didn't spend as much time in here as I'd thought they would. Had I brought my now 7-year-old at age 4, when he spent so much time on activities like this at Legoland CA, I think it would have been perfect. Now he builds 18+ sets with ease so he's a bit beyond building stations like these, and my 3-year-old wasn't quite ready for them yet. But no matter, they both enjoyed it for the hour we were there, and depending on the level of Lego engagement with your kids they may spend more or less time.
The good:
- First off I'd bought tickets online for the wrong day! But the lovely guy checking us in made it no problem whatsoever, which I was beyond grateful for. 5 stars for him and the family-friendliness there, the workers in all the shops were really great.
- The extra activities (the ride, 4D movie, and laser maze) were very much enjoyed by my kids (and by me to be honest).
- The mini-cities were wonderful, and the little interactive bits (sending the subway trains back and forth, the basketball shots, jailbreak from Alcatraz, and football touchdowns) were little surprises most enjoyed by my kiddos.
Wish I'd known:
- The pirate ship climbing structure requires SOCKS. Mine wore Crocs so they couldn't go in the pirate ship. Wish I'd known that and brought some, I bet they would have liked it if they could have gone in.
- It was smaller than I'd expected, so it took less time than I'd expected, and being from out of town and having our weekend activities scheduled around this one, I would have planned differently had I known it would be such a short visit.
Overall it's a fun place, especially if you have a prolific Lego builder ages 4-5 I'd say. Had I brought mine at that age it would have been his heaven.
