— When 63-year-old Lego-lovin’ John St-Onge made the 3-hour drive to
Toronto’s Legoland Discovery Centre, he was looking forward to seeing
the fantastic displays. Instead, he became one: A perfect display of our society’s Predator Panic.
Arriving without any young kids in tow (though accompanied by his grown daughter), he was barred from entering. That’s the rule. As a spokeswoman later explained: “It is a child attraction so we do have this in place to protect the families and children that visit.”
So…if adults are there on their own, children are automatically at risk? The assumption being that even if not ALL adults are predators, all predators are adults, so let’s ban ‘em?
By that logic, should we allow teachers into school if they don’t bring their offspring with them? Should kids avoid anywhere adults roam free?
In Legoland, all adults are guilty until proven otherwise.
And there’s no way to prove otherwise. – L.

Would an adult female get treated like that? Probably not, the staff will most likely "skirt the rules" in ways they would NEVER do so for an adult male.
And this

A 63-year-old man who travelled from Windsor, Ont. to Toronto to fulfil a lifelong dream of visiting a Legoland Discovery Centre, feels discriminated against and embarrassed after being turned away because he didn't have a child with him.
John St-Onge has been a self-described "Lego fanatic" ever since his children were young and
he first began buying them sets, ranging from miniature cities and farmscapes to models of the Star Wars Millenium Falcon.
Once his kids grew older and found other interests, John stuck with Lego, breaking down and rebuilding their sets, and buying new ones to add to his own collection. He now has around 75 sets, comprising about 50,000 pieces of Lego.

However, she defended the policy that requires adults to be accompanied by children, saying "it is a child attraction so we do have this in place to protect the families and children that visit."
Protect them from what? This is a public place, there's extremely low risk of any child getting sexually assaulted in public areas. Perverts may be sick-minded but they're not stupid! That 's why do their dirty business in PRIVATE, HIDDEN PLACES !
And show them that we will not stand for their stupid policies! The more pressure, the better!
