LEGOLAND ~ just the mere mention of the word brings excitement for kiddos across the Metroplex. And when my kiddos heard that an entire theme park was coming to the area, completely devoted to LEGO bricks, they couldn’t wait to go! Have you been yet? We found it was totally fun and worth the visit for all 3 of my kids (girls, boys, young & old)!
LEGOLAND Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth in Grapevine, Texas is a smaller version of the big parks found in California and Florida, however it is packed with fun for anyone who loves these tiny little bricks.
Your adventure at LEGOLAND Discovery Center begins with a tour of the LEGO Fun Factory with Professor Brick-a-Brack. With some help from the “little workers”, we all created a few LEGO bricks to take home.
One of the best things to do at LEGOLAND Discovery Center is to build. They have various stations set up across the park for kids to build. My 9-year old’s favorite attraction was the LEGO Racers: Build & Test. He patiently built and tweaked his car to race on the various ramps. He honestly could have spent all day there if we would have let him. Truth be told, several Dads enjoyed this attraction too.
Girls have a fun place to build too – Princess Palace is full of pink & purple bricks – perfect to make that fairytale castle. It also has a karaoke machine to rock out!
LEGOLAND Discovery Center has some fun LEGO-themed rides. Battle evil skeletons and giant trolls from within your LEGO chariot in Kingdom Quest. Conjure magic by peddling around in Merlin’s Apprentice. And drive your own off-road vehicle in LEGO CITY: Forest Pursuit. We also enjoyed a fun 4D LEGO movie.
LEGOLAND Discovery Center has two fun play areas for the kids – DUPLO Village for little ones and LEGO City for big kids – so make sure to bring a pair of socks to play here.
As at any theme park, exit is out the LEGO Store. All the themed LEGOs are available, as well as some fun souvenirs.
We really enjoyed our time at LEGOLAND Discovery Center. We did go on a weekday during the summer, so it was pretty packed, but it didn’t seem to bother my kids and the wait time for the rides never exceeded 10 minutes. I imagine if you go during the weekday now, you might have the place to yourself!
We purchased the LDC Unlimited Pass, as it is a much better deal if you are planning to go more than once. If not, make sure to grab your tickets online, as you can get a much better deal.
