With young kids, we had some height restrictions, but most rides were available since Legoland is for young kids. The park was busier than I expected, but overall it was much better (less crowded) than summer time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legoland sells VIP access to skip lines, but I wasn&#8217;t interested. Plus, we&#8217;ve already been to Legoland a handful of times so I didn&#8217;t see the need to pay extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I downloaded the official Legoland app, which was extremely helpful in looking at estimated ride wait times. Too bad their app doesn&#8217;t let you order food like Disneyland&#8217;s app does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While picking rides in the park, I focused on rides with shorter wait times &amp; rides that were nearby. If there was a ride nearby with a short line, I definitely took my kids to check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Attractions List with comments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Junior Driving School \/ Driving School<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>This is fun for kids to drive around<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sky Patrol<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>basic helicopter ride. what you see is what you get. fun<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fun Town Police and Fire Academy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>this was a competitive ride (competing against other groups). pumping (to move the truck) was harder than expected<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Skipper School<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>this boat ride was fun, but the line was really long. the wait wasn&#8217;t worth it<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Legoland Express<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>simple train ride for toddlers. it&#8217;s fun, and no wait is awesome<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>DUPLO Playtown<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>this was ok. kids can play in the playground. the Duplos were scarce (COVID safety precaution?)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Queen Watevra&#8217;s Carousel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>it&#8217;s a basic carousel ride. you either like it or you don&#8217;t<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>LEGO Movie 2 Experience<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>this simple walkthrough is cool for Lego set piece nerds, but it might not be interesting for everyone<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Coast Cruise<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>simple, boat tour.
