We took our 3 kids to Legoland on a Friday praying for less crowds and shorter wait times. Unfortunately- and possibly due to the labor shortage- the lines were ridiculously slow due to turnaround. For example some rides only had 1 teenager working it, and a 60 second ride took 6 minutes to get people on, off, unlock the door to the booth that operates ect. Each ride should have a absolute minimum 2 workers to cut down on times. We downloaded the Legoland app hoping the wait times were updated, but they still have tweaking to do as the wait times were not accurate. The park is beautiful and clean, hand sanitizers everywhere. Unfortunately it’s also on the side of a mountain and they cut down every tree for miles and laid down asphalt. It’s a million degrees and there is no shade, no misting stations, no water park. It felt like we were walking on the sun. That’s another thing- the walking. As I said it’s on the side of a mountain. Wear sneakers and be prepared to hike. Many of the grandparents struggled with the heat, lack of shade and steep hills- some couldn’t handle it and a golf cart had to be called for them. Also be aware that a bottle of water is $4.33. For water.
The kids loved it, however we won’t be returning. $400 in tickets and parking, $65 for chicken finger lunch and the ridiculous cost of water.
