Children's dreams come true - including grown-up children

Sure, I could complain about the entry fees. About the traffic jam before getting to the allocated parking. About the crowds, the endless lines at the attractions, the prices for food and drinks. But I would still miss the point.

Because this is not just another theme park. This is Legoland. And seeing the great rides, the beautiful setup, the wonderful modelling of buildings, streets and vehicles (Yes! Nearly everything moves!), the great attention to detail everywhere - you will gladly forget all those nitty-gritty issues and simply enjoy yourself.

Be sure to plan for enough time. One day will give you a good overview, but there's no chance that you could cover everything. Main attractions will have lines, however there's always enough alternatives - cover the big rides right at the beginning of your visit or near the end, when there's less demand.

Yes you will pay a bit more to eat and to drink, but that's exactly how a monopoly works unfortunately - bring some water with you, have everything else charged to your credit card and forget for one day the conversion of the local currency into your own. After all, you won't be in Legoland every day.

Buying tickets up front (over the internet) will save you some lines at the ticket booths. Parking can be purchased prior to your stay as well - all you will need to exit the parking is the bar code printed on your confirmation. For the entry tickets, I also understand that there's some "50% off" coupons available - I did not have that myself but you may be more successful surfing the web.

All in all - if you have a chance, pay the price and GO THERE!
