I don't mind dogs though I am more cat person than dog.

Only issue if any really aggressive dogs are allowed in.

My dogs are surprisingly fine with X-Sector and Pleasure Beach whenever I’ve taken them in/around theme parks. What my dogs hate are funfairs, it’s more because it’s a sensory overload to them rather than big, loud predictable noises alone.

So many places are becoming dog-friendly now, especially over the past few years. But then again, dogs are becoming more popular as people are increasingly having them as an alternative to children. Makes sense to have parks allow select entry, as people might choose to go elsewhere if a determinant is “We need to be able to bring the dog with us.”

And there's the issue.
I've seen plenty of dogs in German parks myself, and my feelings are the same there. I like dogs, even if I'm not a "dog person". My first thought is always for the welfare of the critter. A two hour queue for a coaster doesn't seem like a very mutt friendly enviroment.

You can’t take the dogs into the queues in Germany. They tend to stay with family members not riding.

Plenty of doggos at Europa Park too. Which is the obvious yardstick every park is judged to on here after all.

As much as they’re in my bad books, this is delightful. Dog friendly days at LEGOLAND!

Must admit, I'm not a huge fan of dogs if I am honest, especially slightly bigger ones, assume it is because I attacked by a German Shepherd as a child, and we are booked to be there on one of those dates. It is not as bad a avoiding dogs completely, but always wary walking past bigger dogs. Lets just hope it is well trained dogs and responsible owners, what do they do if one gets loose and starts running around restricted areas? And don't get me started if there is dog **** left on the paths.

They could easily destroy a lot of the models in miniland if let loose

I'm sure they have used Kragle, so will take effort to destroy larger models

I've been to many parks in Europe that allow dogs and never seen a single issue! I think this is a great idea from Legoland, just can't quite believe they are charging £10 for it when it should be free.

Think most dogs will be better behaved than the children who are allowed to visit on a regular basis.

Why should it be free? Bringing dogs on park is going to need more cleaning of the paths. Even if the owner scoops - and we know not all will - that path needs washing before a toddler touches it then puts their fingers in their mouth. That has to be paid for somehow.

The £10 probably means its more likely you're getting responsible owners bringing them to the park.

Oh how I wish that were true!

No other paths just get randomly washed in case a toddler touches it. Not sure why it should be expected that theme park paths are cleaner than normal roadside ones.

Most theme park paths don't get shat on by dogs.

Members of the public switch their brains off, and leave all sense of personal responsibility at the gate. "The street" is dirty. But Legoland is a place for children, therefore everything must be OK for their crotchgoblin to lick.

Maybe I've just spent too much time reading Not Always Right, but I tend to assume the worst of people when out in public.

I can't believe this discussion has already devolved to discussing the cleanliness of paths... hate to break it to you, but no matter how clean those paths look any path that has thousands of people walking over them are going to be unsanitary! That's the case regardless of if its your local highstreet, or the high standards of Disneyland.

To steer us back on topic, I was really excited to hear this news, and feel I should make a visit in the coming weeks to support it! I've been trying to persuade the park to allow dogs ever since I realised that Billund do. (FYI their Miniland is fine, and some parts of it doesn't even have fences). But I didn't realise they were actually listening. Now if Alton Towers would do the same that would make my day!
