Good to know before you go
- Expecting a full-day, amusement-park-grade theme park experience
- Sitting near the front of the 4D theater if you want to stay dry
- 4D theater is extremely cold and drenches guests with water multiple times without warning
- Slow food service at the cafeteria, taking up to 30 minutes for simple orders due to understaffing
- Children are not allowed to keep the Lego figures or models they build during general admission
- Crowds
- Low to moderate on Sunday mornings and select school break weekdays, allowing families to move at their own pace

What parents say
"Wildly overpriced. The photo section is hard to get a good photo with a lg group and even after adjusting several times the auto camera kept cutting off my children. They don't get to keep the figures or anything they build after paying $30 which was extremely shocking to my children especially my 10yr old whose an advit lego builder & 6 yr old. The ride was very short and mediocre. The food which conisist of 2 burgers & 4 hotdogs took all of 30 mins to receive. When asked about the wait she said she's the only one back there mind you we spotted multiple employees that could've assited her. Th"

We didn't eat at the cafeteria in there just bc it was our first time being at that mall and wanted to try different places in the food court but plenty of people were there enjoying food. I will say, it would have been coo"

"Worth visiting once while you are in Atlanta! My kids (3&7yo) were fascinated and occupied themselves most of the time. Free parking, food not so pricey, wasn't that crowded on sunday morning, military discount. General admission includes 1 interactive ride and 1 of 4D short movie as well. It's more like a fancy indoor playground, don't expect it to be a full day amusement park grade thing."
