We went here with our 2 year old and a couple friend with their 7 year old daughter.

We arrived far too early, at 09:20 when the opening time was at 10:00, but it meant we got a very good parking space after having paid priority parking.

There was already a queue forming when we got through the bag check and at around 09:45 they opened the first gates to go through to the ticket scanning stage. We went through and it felt very empty which surprised us all as it was the beginning of the school holiday.

We went to the "opening ceremony" in miniland and this was very poorly visited which I found quite sad! My two year old couldn't do much with this, but the 7 year old girl really enjoyed it.

Once legoland was then opened, a lot of the rides seemed to have malfunctions as all the ride times simply said "closed" and the staff were telling us we couldn't get on. It was very confusing as we didn't get any further information than that. So we watched the pirate stunt show instead, which was quite fun!

After this we went to Mias ride which the little girl really enjoyed and we watched from the side lines. Then they went on a sort of ferris wheel, I didn't join in as I dont like being "stuck" waiting for other cabins to be emptied and filled again.

The food was okay, the prices weren't too bad (like Alton towers which I've found extortionate) and the court yard of the castle was relatively empty even though we wlppent around 12! The toilet facilities were one of the best for us with a potty trained toddler, as all the changing rooms have a toilet in them, amazing!

We then went on to the fire engine ride, this was a blast! Although our guys were the fasted to start with and this meant they stood their for quite a while pumping the water whilst awaiting the rest of the teams to arrive to join in.

I would definitely go back, but wait for our son to be a little older!
