We had the opportunity to visit Legoland in Germany, and I’m excited to share why it’s our favourite Legoland destination. I’ll also explain how we traveled there from the U.K. As you might already know, we enjoyed a fantastic two days at Therme Erding. Afterward, we took a taxi to our next stop. We stayed at the lovely Hotel Cocoon Sendlinger Tor in Munich.
I selected this hotel because it’s conveniently located within walking distance of Munich Hbf, the main station that connects directly to Günzburg. During my research on the nearest airport to Legoland Germany, I discovered that Stuttgart and Munich are the closest airports to it.
I booked our return train tickets from Munich to Günzburg (only 2 stops) through the Rail Europe website, which cost just under £20 per person for a round trip. The train journey was only one hour, which was very convenient. From Günzburg station, it’s about a 10-minute taxi ride to Legoland Germany, and there are taxis waiting right outside the station. The taxi ride cost us just under €20, which felt a bit expensive for such a short distance.
There’s a bus service that goes directly to Legoland from outside the Günzburg station. I didn’t find out the cost, and I’m having trouble locating that information. However, on the Legoland Germany website, I did find this information: “A regular bus service operates between Günzburg railway station and LEGOLAND®. Our advice: Make sure that your train ticket has the destination LEGOLAND Park or LEGOLAND Feriendorf – only in this case, the bus transfer is included in the price.” This suggests that if your train ticket specifies LEGOLAND Park or LEGOLAND Feriendorf as the destination, the bus transfer is included in the ticket price. That didn’t seem to be an option when I booked our train tickets online.
Upon arrival, we noticed the new standalone Peppa Pig Park located across the road from the main entrance of Legoland. Unfortunately, it wasn’t open during our visit, but it’s set to open soon in 2024. It might be worth checking out. From what I could see, it looks very similar to Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park.
As always, it’s a good idea to download the LEGOLAND app for the country you’re visiting. The app provides useful information like queue times, an interactive map showing locations of toilets, rides, food spots, and more. It also indicates which rides are suitable for your kids by providing height restrictions. This information can also be checked on the website if you prefer.
We really liked this LEGOLAND, which is the third one we’ve visited after Legoland Billund and Windsor. We hope to visit all of them eventually. What stood out about this LEGOLAND was its size—it’s quite expansive. It was enjoyable to stroll around, explore, and notice how it differs from the other LEGOLANDs we’ve experienced. Plus, the rides were a lot of fun!
It was fascinating to observe both the similarities and differences among the various LEGOLAND parks. Some rides are the same across different parks, and others have similar themes but are executed in completely unique ways. This made each park feel familiar yet wonderfully distinct.
Our favourite ride at LEGOLAND was definitely PowerBuilder. It’s a thrilling experience where you can choose how intense you want the ride to be—from mild to wild. My adventurous daughter opted for level five, and we were spun and flung all over—it was a blast! Maximus, the Guardians’ Flight, was another fantastic ride. I would say this Legoland is the best for rollercoaster enthusiasts.
There’s plenty to enjoy at LEGOLAND even if you’re not a big fan of thrill rides or for younger children. The park offers a variety of activities and attractions suitable for all ages and preferences. From gentle rides and interactive exhibits to shows, playgrounds, and LEGO building areas, there’s something fun and engaging for everyone to enjoy. It’s a well-rounded experience that caters to a diverse range of interests and ages.
The playgrounds at LEGOLAND are always a hit, and my kid absolutely loved them. As for the food, I’ll be honest—I’m not always a big fan of theme park food, so we only tried the fries they had there. They were a bit pricey, as expected in a theme park, but they were tasty.
If you’re interested in the driving school experience, be sure to book it as soon as you arrive near the entrance at the annual pass shop to secure your spot before it sells out.
We found the LEGO Factory experience very interesting. It’s a fascinating opportunity to learn about how LEGO® bricks are produced. The tour begins with a funny video about the LEGO Factory and then takes you through the entire manufacturing process. As a bonus, all visitors receive a freshly produced LEGO brick as a souvenir. It’s a must-see attraction for LEGO fans and offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the creation of these iconic toys.
The staff were friendly and helpful whenever I had questions, which was reassuring. It was also great that nearly everyone could speak English, as I don’t speak any German. This made our visit much smoother and more enjoyable.
For detailed information on prices, opening hours, and other details, make sure to visit the LEGOLAND Germany website. Unfortunately, I don’t have any discounts to share at the moment, but if I come across any in the future, I’ll be sure to share them on my platform.
Overall, we had a great time at LEGOLAND Germany and would definitely consider visiting again in the future. It’s a fantastic destination for families and LEGO enthusiasts alike!
