The boys enjoyed Merlin’s Apprentice. Yes, there is actually another ride here. The kids can pedal their flying broom to make it go up and down. I like that even the little guys can ride as well. There is also the Lego 4D Cinema. We saw 3 Lego movies, each about 10 minutes long. The 4D is that there are wind, water and bubble (snow) effects. I thought the movies were well done, and the boys were thoroughly entertained.
There is a nice little cafe with seats so you can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee while the kids play. They have the usual snacks at the cafe. You can purchase a Kids Meal Deal, which includes a sandwich, a bag of chips, & a drink. Add a LEGO Lunch Box for an additional $.
Overall, we had a fun day at LEGOLAND Near Jersey City. I was impressed with the space and thought it was very clean. It made for a great afternoon with the boys.
I also really liked the new Ridge Hill Mall. There are a lot of great stores and restaurants. On a nice day, you can take a walk, get something to eat and enjoy the little playground they have as well.
