Legoland

Prior to going to LegoLand, I would have said this amusement park would not be my first choice or even maybe my 10th pick for a place to take the family. In fact, I think I might have decided on a miniature golf place instead. . I guess I didn’t get the concept. However, The Deanes had free tickets and three other tickets we could redeem for a dollar a piece. So we decided to turn our one day outing into two and see what Lego Land had to offer.

Honestly, I should have really enjoyed the place. It is definitely a place for younger children and since I have two of them it’s right up my alley. The rides we pretty interesting; such as: getting in a fire truck, operating a teeter totter thing to get the fire engine to move, and then getting out and pumping water through a fire hose to put out a burning building. You had to work as a team to finish the task. It was unique and really fun!  Plus all the miniature models of the different cities in the US were fascinating to view.

So with fun rides and interesting displays why did I not find myself enjoying the time? CROWDS! IT took 30-45 minutes to get on some of the silliest of rides. Plus it was hard to maneuver with our off-roading Jeep stroller. I couldn’t believe how many people were there, It made Knott’s feel like a ghost town. Sure, it was Christmas Break and everyone was on vacation, but really?! Everyone picked LegoLand as the place to spend their vacation?!

But, If I lived in San Diego and I knew that this was not a usual occurrence I would probably invest in season passes. The place had great potential but it was hard to see through with all the bodies herding through the place.

I loved legos as a kid and have wanted to go to lego land for a long time...just so pricey!!! Glad you got in cheap and sorry about the crowds. I'm not a fan of crowds either. Cute pics :)
