Xiao Ai Xiao Yi Study Tour | Revealing the Little-Known Secrets of LEGOLAND Japan!
“There is no world that LEGO cannot build!” This is a well-known phrase among LEGO fans, representing the spirit of LEGO. The LEGOLAND Japan in Nagoya, with its eight themed areas, is the eighth LEGOLAND in the world and the second in Asia. The entire park is built from LEGO bricks, and children aged 2 to 12, along with their parents, can enjoy themselves here. Families can ride various attractions, play with and build LEGO models together... Parents don’t need to worry about the rides being too thrilling or unsuitable for their children. Next, Xiao Ai and Xiao Yi will take you on a tour of LEGOLAND Japan in Nagoya, exploring the secrets of “stay, play, eat, shop, and snap photos” at this park.
I. The Secret of “Stay”
Checking into the LEGO Hotel is the first stop for every visitor to LEGOLAND Japan! Stepping into the colorful hotel, the LEGO world greets you. The front desk, filled with LEGO minifigures, captivates our eyes. A huge pool of LEGO bricks lets us build and take apart to our heart’s content. There is even a网红 (internet-famous) LEGO brick pool where we can splash and build props...
The cheerful KTV elevator takes us to the adventurous pirate world. Let’s hoist the pirate flag and go exploring with the pirates!
In the pirate-themed guest room, not only are LEGO bricks provided for children to freely build, but all kinds of decorations, small animals, etc., are also made from LEGO. The full set of toiletries is themed around LEGO, and you can take them all home. In short, the themed rooms are decorated in the form of LEGO! It feels like entering a LEGO fairy tale world.
The themed rooms not only have independent play spaces for children but also feature a children’s专属 (exclusive) TV. The most attractive thing for kids is the treasure chest hidden in the space. The deciphered answer is the code to open the chest, and the mysterious treasure inside hooks the children’s eager hearts. The setup of a bunk bed or twin beds for children can fully meet the “2+2” accommodation needs of a family of four without needing an extra bed. All this reflects that “children are the most important guests of the LEGO Hotel.”
II. The Secret of “Play”
From the hotel entrance, crossing a road about 10 meters wide, we arrive at the children’s joyful world—LEGOLAND! Here, we can tour the brick factory to get a souvenir brick, take a yellow submarine to explore the underwater world, learn to drive and get our first driver’s license, and work together as a family to put out a burning building.
Admire 10 famous Japanese cities built from 10 million bricks, and become the controller of the mini Japanese world through small mechanisms; ride a dragon flying freely over the kingdom; board a pirate ship for a sea sniper battle... There are so many rides that we can’t take them all in and never tire of them.
With children aged 2 to 12 as its target audience, LEGOLAND combines elements of play, imagination, creativity, and learning, immersing family groups in the fresh thrill of the LEGO world and the joyful atmosphere of parent-child interaction.
To create a professional children’s park, all rides in LEGOLAND are designed based on children’s love of water, curiosity, and desire for novelty and excitement. The pool water depth is limited to 60 cm; for other rides, there are very detailed age and height requirements (3-5 years, 3-6 years, 6-12 years, 6-13 years, above 80 cm, above 90 cm, above 105 cm).
In addition, there are no extremely thrilling rides in the park. Almost all rides are gentle, with an emphasis on edutainment and parent-child interaction. Even slightly stimulating roller coasters have two versions: one for older kids and one for younger kids.
III. The Secret of “Eat”
In LEGOLAND, the buffet restaurant offers over 100 kinds of food, making Xiao Ai and Xiao Yi drool. The themed restaurants and popular snack shops are must-visit spots! Order a colorful and delicious kids’ meal at the counter, wear the small cute “badge,” and enjoy the meal with mom and dad while playing with toys. The signature LEGO fries come out fresh, their aroma spreading instantly. Crispy and crunchy, they are simply irresistible. All kinds of ice cream make us want to try each one...
Food and beverage is an important part of the park’s operating revenue. LEGOLAND has many themed restaurants and snack shops. To make dining easier for parents, the restaurant design combines eating and entertainment. Children can eat while playing with toys, and the restaurants also provide special coloring boards for kids who don’t eat well, so parents can easily deal with mealtime challenges.
Furthermore, dining in the park is mainly divided into two categories: one is healthy organic kids’ meals, and the other is children’s favorite snacks like fries, burgers, ice cream, etc. The food shapes are not only novel and fun, full of LEGO elements, but also diverse—there are 12 kinds of ice cream alone.
Parents, beware! These varied and exquisite treats will keep your children’s mouths busy nonstop!
IV. The Secret of “Shop”
Stores are a standard feature of any theme park. The representative store in LEGOLAND is “The Big Shop,” which is the largest and most comprehensive. Covering 1,000 square meters, it feels like a small LEGO kingdom. It has dedicated products from all LEGO product lines, truly a LEGO toy paradise for children.
Besides The Big Shop, there are stores in every themed area: LEGO kids’ and adults’ clothing stores, Knight Kingdom Castle Shop, LEGO Pirate Shop, etc. Xiao Ai and Xiao Yi don’t want to leave once inside. Carrying various LEGO toys and trying on different kids’ clothing, we wish we had three heads and six arms.
Here, there is only LEGO, nothing else. Products are “all, all, all,” and kids “buy, buy, buy”!
V. The Secret of “Snap Photos”
In LEGOLAND, you will encounter LEGO dinosaurs flying in the sky and running on the ground, see many cool and stylish vehicles, meet LEGO friends chatting and playing on benches... At such moments, we can’t help but strike a special pose and take photos with them. Suddenly, we spot a LEGO character ahead and rush to catch them for a photo, so we can get a special stamp on our card. It is said that collecting five stamps earns you a mystery gift pack.
There are many lifelike dinosaurs, cars, race cars, LEGO IP characters, and LEGO friends in the park... When these “favorites” of children are presented in vivid LEGO forms, every child feels amazed and surprised, unable to resist taking photos with them. Meanwhile, LEGOLAND also sets up stamp-collecting activities for photos with LEGO IP characters. Remember to collect them all!
VI. The Secret of Service
When we get tired walking in the park, mom and dad can rent a stroller at the children’s center, so we can rest in the shade while continuing to explore. After each ride, staff members crouch down to praise us, giving us an audience and appreciation, making us feel absolutely delighted inside and out...
In terms of hardware, all restrooms in the park have separate nursing rooms, children’s toilets, diaper changing tables, and diaper vending machines. In terms of software service, when each child enters the park, staff members hand out stickers and ask for the child’s name to write it on the sticker, making it easier to find parents if the child gets separated. Every staff member greets children first and actively crouches down to listen to their needs. Lost items are collected and stored at the visitor center for easy retrieval.
LEGOLAND takes “children first, parents convenience” as its service philosophy. The staff has developed a complete set of service standards and procedures for family groups, maximizing the fulfillment of all visitor needs, ensuring that parents and children have a happy, safe, and worry-free time at LEGOLAND!
In fact, LEGOLAND Japan is a high-end version of a children’s playground, very suitable for children and parents, especially those aged 2 to 12. Here, children can not only get their small driver’s license with the help of mom and dad but also learn about the ocean with their parents, build various LEGO models together, and ride fire trucks to save the world... This episode of Xiao Ai Xiao Yi’s study tour to LEGOLAND Japan ends here. We hope to travel the world with everyone in the future and uncover more secrets behind other parks!
