We recently booked Legoland to celebrate my daughter's 5th birthday. We stayed on the property and…read moreabsolutely loved it! We arrived an hour before check in and they allowed us to check in early. They did a great job setting up and decorating the room for the birthday package. Our room was clean and had a great view overlooking the property. & yes it has air conditioning!
We booked an online package deal that included the room, park tickets, breakfast & dinner. The breakfast had a wide selection of pastries, fruits, and made to order eggs. They also offered juice and coffee. I really enjoyed the convenience that we could just walk downstairs and have breakfast then go back up and get ready to head out to the park. For dinner you had to make reservations. There is a steak restaurant but it was currently closed during our stay. We went to the Pirate restaurant which is attached to the Pirate hotel and the kids loved the big pirate ship play ground. The food is served family style and you can pick either chicken or beef. The portions are HUGE! They took a lot of care in preparing the chicken. It was delicious and the kids devoured it. My daughter was excited for a photo opportunity with a Lego Pirate character. The next night we tried the buffet which has a bowling alley underneath the restaurant. With Covid guidelines in place you first must sanitize your hands and then wear a disposable glove before you are allowed to touch anything from the buffet. They offered lego French fries , chicken nuggets, & pizza for the kids. For myself the food was okay/mediocre. For the same euro amount I much rather have eaten at the Pirate restaurant again.
From the hotel they give you a map where you can enter the legoland park from a back side entrance. It's a nice little 8 minute stroll through the forest. There's a little scavenger hunt you can do while walking to the park and you can turn it in the gift shop for a free gift. Luckily it wasn't too busy or crowded. We never waited in line longer than 5 mins for any of the kid rides. We were able to ride some rides multiple times because no one was in line. I had put our waters in the icebox in our room and packed them frozen with a bunch a snacks for the kids. We took a wagon with a cooler on the first day and then just an umbrella stroller the next day. Take what you are comfortable lugging around. Less is better & easier for me. Also pack some bathing suits, towels, and a change of clothes. My kids enjoyed the rides but I think they loved the splash park area even more! I also liked that they offered several baby/nursing rooms sponsored by Hipp baby company.
I love that Legoland caters to kids. It was a great family experience and I highly recommend staying on the property. Looking forward to next time!
