Yesterday my 2 girls and I had a fun packed day out at Legoland Discovery Centre, Manchester.
We enjoy going to Legoland. It’s easy to get to, jam packed with activities and you’re well placed in the Trafford Centre to go shopping or to one of many restaurants afterwards.
There’s lots on this weekend, both for half term and Halloween. The indoor lego playground, has been transformed into the world of Ninjago to celebrate the Ninjago adventure Day of the Departed! Children can also build their own Ninjago Eye Mask, take part in the Ninjago Laser Maze Challenge, and build a Ninjago vehicle in the Build and Test area.
We arrived and were greeted by Professor Brick as usual and were given a limited edition Halloween Lego brick in return for helping him get his machinery working again. My girls (aged 6 and 4) are always thrilled to meet Professor Brick (mainly because they get to jump up and down like lunatics to get his ‘Legoo’ machine working!).
We then took a ride on Kingdom Quest – a shoot em up ride during which we saved the princess from Orcs.
Then we passed through some amazing Lego builds – including a fab Blackpool Tower with a firework display – straight to the main area. My two headed straight for their favourite ‘pink kitchen’ area complete with karaoke machine, which was perfect as this meant I could sit and drink a Costa while they blasted away at the mic!
They then took a turn on the 2 soft play areas for a good while, made their eye mask and did some colouring, before we met one of the stars of the Ninjago series, ‘Kai’, the Red Fire Ninja, who is at the Centre every day until the 31st October. He’s a mean looking Ninja!
We also saw the new 4D film experience starring the Lego Nexo Knights. This is a great interactive experience. We wore 3D glasses for the film, and experienced wind and even a spot of rain (note: sit at the back if you don’t want to get wet!).
We also had lunch at the cafe. As Merlin Annual Pass holders we can not only visit a number of attractions – including the SeaLife Centre which is just next door – but also get 20% off food. The girls had a kids lunchbox with 4 items each, I had a sandwich and (another) coffee and the whole thing came to £12.95.
Legoland is well worth a visit if you’re still looking for something to entertain the kids today. Great half term activity!
