LEGOLAND Discovery Centre & LEGO Store Birmingham Reviews Summary

4D Cinema

• "Great fun, well worth the £12 for 1 adult and 1 child under 5."
• "We enjoyed the 4D cimema the most it has 3D short films with special effects like smoke, rain and wind like effects."

Cons:

• "The only thing I would point out were how grubby the glasses were for the cinema; we had to clean ours before we could see through them!"
• "We didn't do the 4d cinema as my son doesn't enjoy them but I'll be visiting again with just my younger daughters."
