LEGOLAND Discovery Centre
Manchester, Greater ManchesterAbout LEGOLAND Discovery Centre
If only the world were built of LEGO®… well, it is pretty much at the LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Manchester where billions of bricks have created a fantastic family day out!
The ultimate indoor LEGO® playground! Surround yourself with millions of LEGO bricks and get creative. Save the princess on Kingdom Quest, take to the skies on Merlin's Apprentice or sit back in the 4D LEGO® Cinema. Explore the Northwest in MINILAND® and channel your inner ninja on the LEGO® Ninjago City Adventure soft play. Or get creative in multiple LEGO® Building zones, plus much more fun!
Whether you are looking for somewhere to take the kids during the school holidays or it's a weekend treat, the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre is an excellent attraction for kids. Plus, everything is child-sized! Did you know they offer a toddler-tailored programme during the midweek?
Things To Do
Head to MINILAND®, where over 1.5 million bricks make up an interactive city; towers glow, and airships swoop while kids play. If you've walked the streets of Manchester, you're sure to have walked past some seriously iconic buildings. Take some creative inspiration from the city around you and put your spin on an amazing recreation of famous buildings like Manchester Central Library or the Victoria Baths!
Turn back time and ride out to Kingdom Quest, where a Princess needs rescuing from horrible trolls and skeletons! Can you save her?
Channel your inner ninja on the LEGO® Ninjago City Adventure softplay. With three storeys of awesome play area, enter the temple and practise your Ninja moves in the training camp. Take part in several obstacle course challenges alongside your favourite characters like Kai, Jay, Cole, Lloyd, Zane and Nya!
There's no such thing as being a square here (apart from the obvious), so kids can do whatever they fancy! Like building a LEGO® car, testing it against the LEGO® Racers: build and test area and see how fast it goes on the race track! Or jump headfirst into the magic domain and take to the skies on Merlin's Apprentice ride.
There's also an incredible VR experience - The Great LEGO® Race VR Experience. Buckle up as you whizz around a brick-built work and try to become the next champion! OR a MasterModel Builder Workshop where you can enjoy creativity as you build something super cool - an animal, an ice cream truck or even a race car! Psst... you'll get plenty of building tips from the helpful staff, too!
Please note: both these experiences come at an extra cost and are not included in your admission.
Kick back in the LEGO® 4D Cinema for the ultimate cinematic experience. Encounter rain, wind, and even snow all under one roof... Watch all the latest LEGO® blockbusters exclusive to your visit! You'll have a fantastic time.
There are plenty of photo opportunities around the attraction, too, whether that's on the laser ride or finding your favourite LEGO® characters dotted around the discovery centre.
If you've got a little LEGO head at home who's ageing up, check out the birthday parties. Plenty of brick-tastic activities are included, alongside a party room for 2 hours, a whole day of play in the centre, party food and drinks, a personalised birthday card from a LEGO® character, group games, and so much more!
With plenty of fun-packed weekday activities for the kids to enjoy, any LEGO lover will have the time of their lives! From the 4D Cinema experience, exciting rides like the Kingdom Quest Laser Ride, creative building stations and a mini LEGO city to explore, this indoor LEGO playground is the place to be. It's perfect
