Legoland Discovery Center

The Legoland Discovery Center in KC opened in May to serious fanfare...and insane crowds! We tried to visit twice over the summer only to turn away at the sight of the lines down the sidewalk and around the corner just to get inside. Thankfully the crowds have started to die down and we were able to visit a couple of weeks ago. The trick is to go late in the evening...the last admission is 2 hours prior to closing and the place was virtually empty! It's a decent attraction - nothing to jump up and down about but a fun diversion every now and then. The boys enjoyed the two rides and building the Lego racers. Patrick and I thought the scale models of KC landmarks were very impressive! There is a 4D movie theater that shows multiple movies so we can see something different each time. And there is a room where you can build a mini-set with a Master Builder and then buy the set to take home. We passed on the build this trip but will do it on another outing for sure. It was a good adventure and the perfect family evening to close out the summer!
