Kids loved it for an afternoon. They enjoyed testing cars they made and mini-figure trading although most staff didn't have mini-figures to trade.

We are very disappointed and do NOT recommend. It's overpriced and they have dishonest ticket system that they are aware and don't won't to do anything to help customer be aware of the issue.
We decided to try Legoland with our 4 and 11 year old for the first time. We travel to S.A. often and have seen this but have never been until now.
The ticket system has a flaw and when I brought it to the staffs attention as we were leaving. The gentleman at the exit proceeded to argue with me.
When we arrived all the signage instructed us to purchase tickets online so we went online and began the process. We only really wanted to go to Legoland so we selected that option. The system showed us that you can get the VR experience and digital copies of your photos for a few dollars more a person so we decided to go ahead and do that. There was one more prompt that said "UPGRADE" to the Sea Life center" for only $3 more per person. That sounded like a decent deal so we decided to do this even though the full Lego Land experience is the only thing we were really wanting.
We entered and started on our way. One ride, mini city...
Then we get to the VR station the guy checks our tickets and says I'm sorry you don't have the ticket for that. I told him what we went through at the front and he said please talk to the front desk. We continue through the attraction...
Overall the experience at both Lego Land and the Sea Life center was pretty underwhelming considering the cost of the tickets. We had an okay time, the sea life center is neat, took us about 20 minutes to walk through.
Legoland had 2 rides one that is slow moving where you shoot the "bad guys" and the other spins in a circle and you peddle to make it go up higher.
The Lego 4D movie (Monster Chase) was funny but the 4D part was not sinked up properly so the water would happen several seconds after the "splash" on the screen.
There was one section with a mini Lego City of San Antonio which was cool but just something to look at.
The other area were where you could build, nothing spectacular but okay...
The VR looked cool but we didn't get to do it because of the ticket issue I mentioned before. The 4 year old didn't understand it was a challenge.
What was really disappointing and the most frustrating part was when we were leaving. I mentioned to a gentleman on the way out that we had a ticket issue.
I shared that if you select the upgrade to Sea Life center option after you select the top Lego Experience that it actually downgrades the Legoland ticket.
He proceeds to tell me that "were aware and have contacted corporate to let them know".
I shared that that's unfortunate and I am glad they told corporate but it would be nice if you put a sign up letting your guests know that this will happen. The response I got was "we can't add more signs we have too many as it is". I said you need to communicate this with your customers and he said it doesn't effect every ticket so we can't share this with everyone. At one point I was even told "I am not trying to argue with you" when all he was doing was arguing with me.
I am of the mindset that you can't fix issues unless you're aware so I share things to help people improve. These folks are aware and have no desire to let people know.
Not one "I am sorry this happened", not one, "we are going to try to do better", just excuses including they "don't want to communicate this because it might confuse people and then they will decided they don't want to come".
At this point I decided to walk away.
The establishment knows there is a fraudulent ticketing issue, they refuse to put signage up to communicate that this might happen. When confronted about it they are rude to and agree with customers who simply wanted to help bring awareness so it wouldn't happen to others.
I do NOT recommend. There are so many other great attractions in S.A. save yourself some money skip this one.
Attaching screen shots of how it says upgrade, over and over again in the process, even though they down grade the Lego tickets.
