Legoland Discovery Center Dallas Fort Worth (Grapevine, TX)

I was actually excited for my son when they announced last year that they would build a Legoland in Grapevine, TX. I had very high expectation on this until going there last week with my wife and 2 kids (1 1 year old and 1 4.5 year old). I was somewhat disappointed for the price (single visit adult: $19 and kids (3-12) $15. From the kids' view, I think they all had a great time.

This place is kind of small comparing to the one in California. I was expecting it bigger. It's like an indoor play area with LEGO bricks, rides and 4D cinema.

Here is what they have:

1) LEGO Factory - too small to accommodate all kids.
    Only a few kids can participate.
2) LEGO Studios - 4D Cinema - Good
3) Kingdom Quest - Good
4) Merlin's Apprentice - Good
5) MINILAND - Dallas in miniature - Good
6) LEGO Racers: Build and Test Zone - Kids had a blast here.
    It's simply, you build your own race car and put on the track to race
    with others. The problem here is they mixed ALL the bricks, wheels,
    and other parts together making it hard to find the right parts.
    My son and I spent at least 20 minutes here (mostly looking for parts)
    to make a working race car. I think they should put everything in
    separate containers to make it easier to find. Some kids just play
    with 2 wheels.
    My 4yr old spent most of his time here.
7) DUPLO Village - Kind of small. Basically it's a small area filled
    with regular LEGO bricks. Kid can build anything they want with
    the bricks. I noticed only a few kids play
    here. It's probably because they can do this
    at home anyway.
    Next to it is an area filled with soft giant LEGO bricks.
8) LEGO Girl - Princess Parlor
    Kids can sing and dance in here and
    play with pink LEGO bricks.
9) LEGO City Play Zone - Good.
   Kids need to wear socks to play here.
    You can either bring your own or buy a pair for $1.
10) LEGO Shop
11) Party room

They do sell snacks and drink there.
