We're planning a trip somewhere with my family. My brother is 12 and I'm 18 (and childish).
We thought Legoland Billund could be a nice place to visit, and the flights are cheap too. But our father disagrees, and says it's only for 12 year old kids.
Here in Finland, the craziest rides go about up to 80km/h, so compared to that, how crazy are the best rides there?
Is it so, or can even the parents enjoy the visit?
If it helps, two couples I know, both in their early 30s went a couple of years ago (to the one in the UK). One especially is lego mad, and everyone loved it.
Evidently the place is arranged at different levels. So while kids might just enjoy that it's Lego, adults can engage in the hunts, the themes and more.
A review of some of the rides of the UK one points out that yes, 2/3 of the park is aimed at children, but adults will still enjoy many aspects of it, as will a teenager like yourself.
I guess it comes down to how much you like Lego. If you're fine being a big kid, like many adults I know, you'll love it. If you're the self-conscious 'must be cool' type, you might get bored.
The "craziest" rides in Legoland Denmark are:
Rest of the rides are quite soft. I've enjoyed Legoland as relaxed family holiday. Indeed I feel that the park is best suited for families with kids 2-10 y/o. If it's crazy rides you're looking for, you're probably going to be disappointed. There are theme parks that are much better for that. In that case you'd be much better off going to Europa-Park or PortAventura.
I went to the German LEGOLAND near Augsburg last September with my 4 children (21, 18, 13, 6). It was a day out together. We have all played with lego in the past but none of us are 'lego nerds'. The park was nice, the models well done and there are some nice rides. However, all in all, I would say that the age limit is around 12-13. My older ones didn't complain but I could only see enthusiasm in the youngest one. A large proportion of the visitors seemed to be grandparents with their grandchildren which I guess is exactly who Lego are targeting. The most annoying thing by a long way was the continuous background musak- terrible, terrible, terrible! There was no escape anywhere.
It was ok but I won't be rushing back.
There has been a precedent set for Legoland denying entry to a senior who tried to visit without being accompanied by a young child. (This was at a Legoland Discovery Centre in Ontario, not a Legoland amusement park.)
