Review for a Visit
Took my family to Legoland Discovery Center for a day during Winter Break. Living OTP, it's hard to get ITP to do things...but we needed something new.
For a family of four, it cost just under $100 for admission alone. I purchased the Activity Pack for 4 and VR Tickets...so it was over $100. But since it was a family activity, it was worth it at the start.
The Activity Pack was a Lego Man Shaped booklet that you can get stamped - 4 times & do various activities in the space from the book. I also got the kids (and husband) mini-builds. They're the small builds - like a car or an animal - that you can build. It was around $7 additional...I think the cheapest i have ever seen lego brand mini build packages are like $5 so...
The VR Movie was a lot of fun...glad we purchased that. But, if you get motion sick, I wouldnt recommend.
Included in admission is a ride - where you can shoot laser guns at the "bad guys"...its maybe around 10 minutes long. The room full of builds was so cool...lots of Atlanta landmarks. We chatted with a master builder and he built one of the guests suggestions while we were there. Then you go to a room where there is a cafe (dont have any experience there), a small play area for kids, and build areas...you can build cars and race them or test them on three different ramps. They have an area where they build rockets and can scan and project them onto a screen and move the rocket around. They also have an indoor playground - pirate themed. The movie is included in the price too...it's a 4-D movie (sound, wind, water spray, etc.). I'll stop there and let you experience it if you want to...worth it.
So overall....it was a lot of fun but doubtful we'll make the trek back.
We did do a Birthday Party...
Review for Birthday Party
The Birthday party cost us $820 Premium Birthday Party for 1.5 hours in a room & 2 hours in the center. We opted for a time later in the day so our party started at 3:30 and ended at 5:30 (the center closed at 6:00). The party covered admission to the center for 30 guests (birthday family included), all the included amenities listed above - ride, building & tracks, playground, rocket launcher projector and the movie. BUT THE MOVIE WASNT WORKING for us which is sad and kinda a big part of the whole thing...so that not working really made the value go down.
You get a party host and they take care of everything - plates, drinks, utensils, clean up. In the party room you get a coloring paper and starbursts at each seat. the kids go play, the host manages the time. There is a "lego character" that comes in and does a dance with the kids. You cannot have candles at the Lego Discovery Center but the host has the adults turn the flashlight feature on their cell phones and those "replace the candles"...actually really creative idea. the host will help wheel the presents to the car, but we didnt need that feature. Lego Birthday Contract says you dont need to tip...so for what we paid and what we got, it was ok, still overpriced, but the kid had a lot of fun.
