What parents say
"Legoland itself is awesome. Don't know if I'd take my kid here if she was over 10. Definitely geared towards younger kids. Make sure you ask the staff for Badges!! That was a fun part of going around, seeing if we could collect all the badges. Sea Life is awesome!!! I could spend all day in there. I also wish they had a better package for their "Reserve and Ride". $35 for 4 rides a person... Just give us a day pass... The food prices are ridiculous 😭😭 Started ordering, and they wanted $50 for 2 chicken tender & fries meals.. not including the $6 drinks.. we didn't even finish adding all the "

"kids love the place! Couple playground full with different themes. Ride is mostly for kids 3-7 years old. Food:The smoke BBQ is not bad with annual pass you will get discount. Definitely tried their fried apple (sweet, one cup share is good enough)."

"Good for young families. We took our 5 year old and 2 year here. Food was decent and not as expensive as Disneyland. The stores have all the options but legos in general are getting too expensive. However this review is about Legoland and not the price of their product. The park was fun for the day but couldn’t see spending multiple days there. All in all, the kids had fun."
