★★★★ "The app is fine... But New York is the worst Legoland out of the three we've been to (Florida, Billund, New York) by far. It's tiny, employees aren't motivated, layout is terrible, boring rides, and it's way overpriced given all of this. If…" - Ua E

★★★★ Dr Blankenstein 10/4/2024 v1.3.8
If you like walking 2 miles out of your way . With an accessibility kid . To get to something 1 min away .. this is the app for you!! 👎
★★★★ Luke Michaels 6/18/2023 v1.2.16
Wait tubes are grossly inaccurate.
★★★★ Melissa Mahony 10/15/2022 v1.2.9
There should be more options of things to do while you are there. every time I click a link it gives me an option to buy tickets. I already have tickets I want park info!! The app needs work.
★★★★ Jesse Clark 8/29/2022 v1.2.9
Wait times are not accurate at all. For example a 5 minute wait reported for the block party had already been over 30 at the time of this review, still not on the ride.
★★★★ Ua E 8/21/2022 v1.2.9
The app is fine... But New York is the worst Legoland out of the three we've been to (Florida, Billund, New York) by far. It's tiny, employees aren't motivated, layout is terrible, boring rides, and it's way overpriced given all of this. If you are thinking of taking your family to the New York Legoland, take the cash and set it on fire... It'll be a more effective use.
★★★★ Stephen Ashley 4/15/2022 v1.2.4
Legoland is such a rip off. Insufficient staffing at most rides, two of which have shut down today alone. Wouldn't be worth a $10 ticket, let alone what they charge. Today is absolutely our last visit.
★★★★ Mike Kucharski 4/15/2022
Slow to update. Inaccurate wait times.
★★★★ C Coleman 8/31/2021 v1.1
I saw all of the comments about this app being useless but downloaded it anyway for a recent visit to Legoland NY. Yep -- it's practically useless.
★★★★ Tom Mac 8/30/2021 v1.1
The App is useless for line times. You need to × 4 whatever it says. Also, when rides are temporarily closed. It will still list wait times. So you walk over to them and waste time.
★★★★ Capitan Montpoupon 8/18/2021 v1.1
Ultimately pretty useless. Wait times pretty inaccurate. Can't make restaurant reservations. Feedback survey is a joke. Activity planner is also a joke. Even map utility just gets you to the first roundabout. Just use Google maps directly for a more accurate destination.
★★★★ Rebecca Orvetti 8/15/2021
You're better off with the paper map because this app is useless! Wait times are inaccurate, app load time takes forever, and there are no menus for the restaurants.
★★★★ Patrick 8/10/2021 v1.1
App interface requesting DOB is horrible
★★★★ Gil Nadav 6/25/2021 v1.0
No idea if the app is good as it requires birth date at first open. There is no way to type it in, and scrolling back month by month at my age will take me too long...
★★★★ Corby Angle 6/24/2021 v1.0
Don't believe any of the times reported in the app. They have not figured out how to keep it updated. The app also does not show any information about the park unless you are in the park. You want to know what rides are open or what wait times are - your won't be able to. The app will only show you if you are in the park. So far everything about this Legoland from pricing to opening dates to honoring season tickets to the way their app works screams of corporate greed. Way to fail miserably.
★★★★★ CE Collura 9/15/2023 v1.2.16
I was very disappointed that the pizza place closed earlier than the app said, though the guest services helped us. The 4d movie times were also wrong, so we thought we were bringing our little ones to a cute city movie but it turned out to be a monster movie. They're afraid of monsters. The staff was excellent. It was just the app that caused the trouble.
★★★★★ Shon Sebastian 8/9/2023 v1.3
app is confusing to use
★★★★★ BJ Dowd 6/29/2023 v1.2.16
It works well enough but is severely lacking in many ways. Every time something comes up, reserving a time for the water playground, ordering food, or paying for parking it just opens up to a website instead of working in the app which raises the question of "why did I download this thing?"
★★★★★ Joann Hoxha 9/4/2022 v1.2.9
wait times are not at all accurate
★★★★★ Jonathan Reisler 10/9/2021 v1.1
Not intuitive and times are not accurate
