Few Hours Of Fun for Mainly Ages 3-9
Wear or bring socks! My husband and I took our 5 & 3 year olds on a weekday afternoon. It's been open for months so the crowd has died down. We purchased our tickets online during the promo, purchase 1 adult ticket and get 1 free child admission. That saved us $47. The cashier that scanned our tickets gave us no direction and just told us to go through the entryway where we were unclear on where to stand since other patrons were assigned a colored circle. You are then sent into a room with large screens and watch a interactive cartoon type Lego factory show before entering the main attraction area. There are 2 rides, the 1st one is a shooting game somewhat similar to Toy Story Midway Mania at WDW. The 2nd ride spins in circles, requires pedaling and has a height requirement. Both our children were able to ride but only with us (an adult) riding it as well. There's an area for smaller children with large soft plastic blocks and a small duplo type house with a tunnel slide. There really isn't much to do for the under 3 crowd in my opinion. The Lego Friends area was cute with prebuilt structures and stations to build at. There were large Friends to take pictures with but no small ones to play with in the area or if there were at one time, they are all gone now. Next we went to the Build & Test area where you can build a car and race it down a few ramps. This area was a bit messy with Legos all over the floor. Kids were jumping on the ramps and blocking the cars other kids were trying to race. No parents around telling their kids to get off nor employee around to keep kids off the tracks. There's also another area to build Lego towers and test how easy it will fall down. The 4D Chima movie was cute and we did get a little wet with "raindrops" from water falling during the rain scene. After the movie my kids played for a long time in the gated off play structure area that resembles a police station, fire station and construction site. This area requires socks and I did see an employee telling parents that their kids have to wear socks in that area. The food/cafeteria area sits center in the venue and we did not eat at it. We opted to eat in the mall. The area with the Detroit city scape was very cool to look at and the room goes from daytime to nighttime mode periodically. A few of the scenes including Comerica Park and Ford Field were interactive with buttons to push. Once you exit you are in the Lego gift shop where they have all kinds of Lego sets and items. You can also access the Lego store without attending Legoland. Overall, my kids enjoyed their trip there. It was great for their ages. Under 3 wouldn't appreciate it nor is there much for them to do. I can also see how kids ages 10 and up may be bored after about an hour. I probably won't go again unless we purchase tickets during a promo to save money. I don't agree with the $23.50 adult admission price since were mainly sitting around just watching our kids. I am also very happy we went while it was not busy. I know we would have NOT enjoyed it as much as we did. I would personally not want to wait more than 20 minutes per ride for what was offered. We spent about 3 hours there total. If making the trip from far away make sure you make a day of it and purchase the Sea Life Aquarium/Legoland combo and there is also a Rainforest Cafe to eat at in the mall.

RUDE STAFF
We have been here many times and have had a blast. But this time was so disappointing. 3 diffrent times we encountered rude staff members! I get that they may be over worked BUT that is not an excuse to be plain rude to guests. The food/snack area is closed but there is still no reentry so if your kid is hungry you can t just go to the food court and come back. Many other parents complained as well. And It seemed there were alot less legos in the activity areas. They advertised a halloween them but honestly there was barely any decorations. They added a few pumpkins and witches to the city display and the ghost busters but thats it...
