How to spend one day in Legoland Germany

During a visit to Neuschwanstein castle, we decided to visit Gunzburg, and spend one day in Legoland Germany.

It was the perfect day trip for our little one after a long road trip though Germany.

Located in a town called Gunzburg, Legoland is just a short drive away from Neuschwanstein castle, and the perfect getaway for the kiddos.

On the blog I will share how to spend the perfect day at Legoland Germany, including a visit to the nearby town of Gunzburg.

Where to buy tickets to Legoland Germany

Make sure to purchase your Legoland Germany tickets online ahead of time to make the most of your visit. You can also purchase tickets at the gate, but be prepared for some lines.

If you live close to Legoland and plan to visit more than once, I suggest you purchase the Annual Pass.

The Basic price for family annual passes costs 67 euros per person, (79 euros for individual passes), while an individual one day ticket costs 42 euros.

Your annual passes pays for itself after the second visit, which is worth the price!

What to expect at Legoland Germany

Legoland Germany is so amazing! It’s a kids paradise with all the life-size lego sculptures and rides.

Make sure to download the Legoland Deutschland App to make the most of your visit.

The best part about our visit to Legoland Germany were all the LEGO replicas of some of the main sights to see in Germany and Switzerland.

Our favorite ones were of Neuschwanstein Castle, Hamburg, and Luzern Switzerland.

Our little one enjoyed the many LEGO themed rides, including the Legoland Express train.

Some of our favorite rides were Jungle Expedition, canoe X-pedition and all the fun play places, complete with LEGO blocks of course.

Be aware that some of the rides have height restrictions. You can find them at the entrance to each attraction, or visit the website for a list of rides and height requirements.

Legoland Germany also offers an Express Pass to avoid the queues. Visit the website for more information if you’re interested.

Where to eat at Legoland Germany

After a long day at the parks, you will definitely work up an appetite. Luckily, there are a few restaurants at Legoland Germany.

We loved the food at the Stars Grill House, and Pizza Mania. You can also pack a lunch when you visit Legoland Germany.

Make sure to also bring snacks for the kiddos as it will be a long day. We spent one day in Legoland Germany, and felt it was the perfect amount of time to spend at the park.

Where to stay in Legoland Germany

We spent one day in Legoland Germany, and stayed at the Vienna House Easy Günzburg, located in the city center. It was a very short walk to get to the city’s main square and they offered free parking.

This was such a family friendly place to stay, the perfect Legoland hotel. You can also stay in one of Legoland’s holiday villages in the parks. Make sure to book rooms in advance as they get sold out pretty quickly, and can get pretty pricey!

Exploring Gunzburg Germany

We spent one day in Legoland Germany and stayed at the nearby town of Gunzburg, Germany.

The city was founded in about 70 BC by the Romans to defend the borders of their land along the Danube.

It’s a fairly unknown city, except that Legoland is nearby and most people usually stay here when visiting Legoland Germany.

Since we stayed here for one day, we decided to get to know Gunzburg, Germany a little more and do some exploring.

Take a stroll around the streets of Gunzburg

The first thing we notice is how beautiful and charming Gunzburg, Germany is.

The market square is a quaint little area lined with half-timbered houses, surrounded by cafes and restaurants, it was absolutely beautiful! It’s a great place to unwind after a long day at Legoland!

Enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants and admire the beautiful surroundings. Our little one enjoyed playing in one of the large fountains located in the market square.

Frauenkirche (Church of Lady)

Nearby is the Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche), which was built in the mid-18th century in the Rococo style.

It is the most important church in the city and is considered one of the masterpieces of the architect Dominik Zimmermann. 

Step foot inside the church and you’ll be amazed at the beautiful interior!

This was one of the most beautiful churches we’ve seen, it was like stepping foot into a masterpiece!

The oil paintings in the ceiling and in the walls were just splendid. Definitely a must see!

*Another fun day trip if you’re in the Legoland area is a visit to city of Rothenburg ob Der Tauber, and to the Imperial City of Nuremberg.
