Today we visited Legoland in Manchester. Not knowing there was a Legoland here I did some res ears the day before and it was clearly advertised with the sea life centre so we figured it was two smaller centres you do in one day and that was exactly the case.
We purchased online and saved ££ in doing so which always makes mummy happy! We also went for the second time slot as the first is alway busy. We parked in the Barton square car park as the website suggested and as we were nice and early we go a park directly outside the entrance.
We did not have to wait in a queue at all we walked straight up to the counter which is a bonus! Once we collected our tickets we had out photos taken (which I don't know about you but I always buy because I am a sucker!) and went up the lifts to the first area.
Upstairs there was a short presentation on how Legos are made. For Boo's age the man was a little scary and loud but she did well. I liked that all the kids were involved and having fun.
Once through there was a ride called Kingdom Quest, but we weren't sure if boo (1yr old) could go on it, so we skipped it at first and went through to the Lego display area. Boo loved pushing the buttons.
Once in the main area we saw the 4d movie - which we enjoyed but was MUCH too loud for boo, and myself. I wish they had it down just a little.
She loved the pits of Lego, the small play area, the big play area and the big formula one car. Unfortunately she was too small for the other two rides so I found a lady with a similar aged child and asked if they did the first ride. They had done and said it wasn't too scary so we went back to get on the Kingdom Quest ride.
Boo was fine on the ride and I am so glad we went on it because I would have felt disappointed if we didn't get to do one ride.
I think it was what we expected, a small scale version of Legoland and I think it is marketed that was with the combination tickets to sea world. Would go again
Money spent - £23 each, plus photo pack (we got the £20 ultimate combo pack being extravagant and on holiday - 2 big photos, 1 magnet, 1 Keyring, 2 wallet photos and photo download code)
Cons - $$ is steep if you have lots of children, playground has no age restriction so lots of big kids mixed with little ones, 4d cinema too loud and no one to ask if the little one can go on certain rides.
