Thanks to Customer Services - Great experience, plenty for children to do.My granddaughter unfortunately lost a special teddy bear there and the customer service team were amazing and they went over and above to return the bear safely and kept us informed of his journey back. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and prompt response. We will definitely return again.

Far exceeded our expectations - We visited Legoland with out 2 grandchildren aged 8 and 3 on 8th November. I wasn’t really expecting much but it far exceeded my expectations. The children had a wonderful time and the range of hands-on and interactive activities was brilliant. We were in there for 3 hours and quite frankly the children would have stayed there all day if they could!
Attractions such as these rely on the staff to help make the experience enjoyable and from the moment we entered Legoland everyone ensured our grandchildren (and grandad and grandma as well!) had a great time.
Thoroughly recommended.

Definitely worth the visit - Visited over the weekend, had a lovely experience. We paid extra for the VR & creative workshop, totally worth it although I can see why it can be an issue for some parents as the range of abilities in the children is varying and some steps can take longer than others so there is some sitting around waiting.
Staff are all amazing & clearly work very hard. I noticed them making the effort to clean all the areas throughout the day. In particular, Tyler and Sofia (if I can remember correctly), led the creative workshop and both were very engaging and helpful. My kids enjoyed this the most and for only £5 extra, a Lego build to take home is a bargain! A true credit to Legoland!
My son loved the 4D cinema, we went three times and the soft play areas were all great too although i will say they could be easier to access for parents - I almost panicked thinking my kids were lost for a bit.
It can also get very packed and unfortunately the time slot they give you seems quite short considering the amount of activities.
All in all, I would highly recommend making the visit down. Despite the areas that can be improved upon, you won’t regret spending your money here.

Great but needs a refresh - Legoland Discovery continues to be excellent. The staff are exceptional and the range of activities is great. A few pointers, though. Maybe now is the time to freshen things up a bit - perhaps swap out some of the activities for something new. The large race track area could certainly be repurposed (they’re not even LEGO cars) and some of the Ninja activities are falling flat. A proper Duplo village would be nice and you could look at leaning on some more of your popular franchise tie-ups. The overall cleanliness could be addressed too: some of those large bricks in the under-5s area are very grubby and, once again, only one soap dispenser in the male toilets was filled! And yet it’s still fun. My near-three-year-old daughter loved it and that’s what really matters.

It was a Lego World - The weather was good and as expected, had a lot of traffic. My son had a lot of fun and I couldn’t have asked for more. I would recommend

Mediocre, wouldn’t go again. - Not bad. 3 hours is overstimulating. U definitely dont need three hours. Quite annoying they dont take cash in the toy shop that is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced I might add. The staff are all on the spectrum and find it hard to make conversation or smile. Wouldnt go again unless it was free. Once youve done the VR and the ride / play centre all there is to do is play with lego which for a four year old is quite boring after 10 minutes. Some may like it my youngest didnt love it in the last 45 minutes. Overall enjoyed it but could be more to do without paying through the tooth for it.

Looking a little tired - It’s a great concept but it’s looking a little tired.
There is a build your own car area there are very few tyres for the wheels The cafe is very poor. There are parts that are broke

Overpriced - Visited midweek with my 8 year old and 2 year old. We enjoyed it but got a Black Friday deal. I I do not think this experience is worth paying full price. It is small and only needs around 2 hours to visit, the prices don’t reflect this!
It looks tired and dirty in places and the ninjaro soft play area is too dark and cramped for the children to play properly.
The police chase bit is just little tykes cars.
We went midweek but was busy with school trips. We qued for 45 mins for the first ride which was only a couple of mins long and the shooter guns were not working properly. Staff members were rude.
Variety of Lego pieces at stations were also poor.
I think the experience needs a bit of TLC and updated prices. I also can’t see the justification for additional pricing for the VR experience, VR is no longer a new thing this should be included now.

Filthy - Good place but absolutely filthy, in need of a serious deep clean. Staff were friendly and my son had a good time but will be a blessing if he doesn’t get a stomach bug from the soft play. Realistic with my expectations of a kids play area but in places it looked like it had never been cleaned.

Fithy, Broken, Boring - We visited on Jan 4th for the last day of the Christmas event but to be fair other than some decorations it wasn’t any different. It’s a few years since we’ve been and the decline is clear to see - first off there just so many paid for add ons like the VR experience (£20 for 4), photos, a huge cafe where the cute little Duplo area used to be, loads of those coin squish machines etc.
The factory bit at the start is boring and pointless. It used to be a guided tour with a little discovery centre brick given out but now it’s just broken and empty. The Lego displays are filthy, the hand sanitiser dispensers are empty. The build a car bit had no tyres so you couldn’t do much. The old racing ride is now little tykes cars! The only ride we could do as a family was some rubbish pedalo thing which made an awful rusty squeaking sound and lasted about two minutes. The 4D cinema was underwhelming as other than a very light spray of water, nothing else happened, it seemed broken also. Then on to the space bit which was … a broken rocket launch. Then you walk through a non Lego disco tunnel (why) and then you’re in the shop to spend more on Lego than on Amazon.
We managed an hour, luckily we didn’t buy individual tickets as were Merlin pass holders but even then we felt it wasn’t worth the visit as it’s just too limited, broken and filthy. We definitely won’t be coming back.
