In reply to the discussion: Legoland policy has some adults upset [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)15. I had such a hard time putting away my toys. I just could not stop playing.
And then one day, I scolded myself (I was about 15) and said that I looked ridiculous. I realized that I had no one to play Lego and other things I liked with, so I just packed my toys. I still have a great many of them, and one set of LEGO-type toys is in its original boxes.
So, I had children -- and played with them and their LEGOs.
And now I have a grandchild -- who loves LEGOs. Believe me, do we have fun.
It's so great to show a very young child how things fit together and how you can build and play.
I will never stop playing. Never. Never. Never.

LEGO is hurting itself. Lots of adults would buy lots of LEGOs for themselves if they would change

Spot on! I can't imagine any normal adult going there unless their kid really wanted to go.

This is what the flip-side of no-child policies at restaurants and airlines looks like...

This is likely about creating a safe space for kids as much as anything . . .
