Hi

Has anyone been, is it a good day out for 2yo and 5yo?

Is it a full day out?

Is it worth a two hour drive to visit?

TIA xx

We were thinking about going, but then I read the reviews online. They are not good to say the least. A worrying number of them say some combinations of over-priced/dirty/not much to do. So we decided not to bother.

It isn't a full day out on it's own by any account. Even lego don't claim it's more than about a 3 hour visit.

Not worth a 2 hour drive.

I live 20 mins away and went once when we had vouchers so was quite cheap. Wouldn't go again.

I took my 4 year old and we had a TOP time! Obviously it's pants compared to the REAL lego land but never the less I thought it was brilliant and would go back again.

Disclaimer - it was term time when we visited so pretty quiet!

Queues are awful, still battling to get a refund on annual passed! Hmm

I live local to this and think its complete rubbish. Takes about 20 minutes to work your way through, then there's a big cafe with Lego to play with. I think age 2 is too young to appreciate it and I'd be worried about them choking on Lego (when I went there was no duplo to play with).

Sorry

Thanks xx

I live within 20 min too - 2 is too young and by 7 they too old. My 5 year old loves it but a visit lasts 2 hours tops. When she was under 3 I got a 30 pound annual pass. That was great . Now we only go if we get £4 tickets via Tesco vouchers. Not worth the long trip
