Saturday: Legoland

On Saturday, we went to Legoland in Kansas City. I wisely purchased our tickets online the night before to save a little cash, but also to get a guaranteed entry time. timing is everything when you are juggling schedules of little people. Legoland is in the downtown area roughly in the same area as union station. The kids were up super early that morning and we hit the road about half an hour early. That never happens.

When we arrived downtown, we discovered the Kansas City marathon was that morning and the finish line was in or adjacent to Crowne Plaza (legoland location). Parking was a disaster. It was very fortunate that we got such an early start. After 40 minutes, we finally found a spot...in the most stroller unfriendly place imaginable. There were no ramps, tons of stairs, the stroller didn't fit trough the doors, no power assist, no signage or directions to direct to where we needed to go. When we finally exited the ramp (by walking down and under a huge sign that said "do not walk on ramp, use stairs only), we found another problem. With the circling around and endless driving, we knew we were in the right vicinity, but didnt exactly know how to get where we wanted to be. We finally found it after scaling at least 3 giant staircases with not a ramp or sign in place. Totally not accessible which was the clincher to my award of "least stroller friendly place. Ever" award.

When we finally arrived at Legoland, we found the doors shut tight. After a short whole, a staff member Cane out to let us know they were opening late due to the marathon traffic. Their employees couldn't find parking either.

Anyway, the kids all liked legoland. It seemed fluke in most areas there were activities that made all the kids happy. Gemma adored this Lego motorcycle and Amelia and William enjoyed everything. They claim to enjoy "Merlin's Magic Ride" the most.

I can only post 3 pictures at a time from my phone, so look for more to come.
