LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Toronto

Overall it was a pretty good time. There were several things to do for the kids. There is a laser gun ride that you play for points. An indoor play ground with slides and climbing ropes etc. The 4D movies are a lot of fun and last about 15 mins. There are four of them. There is also a mini display of Toronto made out of Lego and is interactive. Overall it was a good experience but we found it to be a bit pricey for admission.

The place is pretty small compared to Lego land in other countries. It has a 4D cinema for Lego films as well as a small food court. I would say that it is enjoyable for kids of age 8 and below.

I am addicted to Lego. Let's just start with that. This Legoland is great for little toddlers and a 1 time visit. I was expecting a lot more because it was much smaller inside then I expected. The 2 rides are a lot of fun and the short 4D movies are cool to watch. The movies play every 30 minutes so catch then when you can or you will miss them. The kids can build some lego and play in some jungle gyms but that is.....we did everything in about 1 hour but had to stay for 2 hours to catch the movies. The lego retail shop has a lot of amazing and hard to find sets but you can't collect VIP points so beware. The Starbucks is great lol and we went during the week so it was empty which we loved. We would probably only go once every few years.

It was nice, but even for kids they got bored after 10 min there, the only thing that kept them was needing to wait for the 10 min videos that Legoland played and it had 4 different videos, so the kids wanted to wait and see it. Other than that it got really boring real quick with 4 or 5 things to do and after that it's just aimlessly walking around. I don't know what to suggest that would make it better to be honest or what I was actually expecting from it, that's why I'm giving it a 3 star instead of a 2 star. Additionally something to be aware of (and this is not on Legoland) that there are small Lego pieces on the floor no matter how many times the crew will come and clean it (which they do and do a good job) but kids are playing and things will fall.... So if you're with small ones... Make sure you have your eye open at all times!

My husband, our little girl and I had a splendid time here. Sure, like most hands-on children's museums, a few displays were in want of a little maintenance, but the customer service and the quality of the experience made such a difference, this was a highlight of our vacation.There is a splendid interactive darkride here, Knight's Quest, which we found to be in better shape and more fun than Boo Blasters on Boo Hill at either Canada's Wonderland or Carowinds, Kings Dominion or Kings Island in the United States. (Dark rides are a special interest for our nine-year-old. She has a *rating system* for them and Lego Discovery Center's has the best score of any interactive still in existence.) The little Wizard's Apprentice ride went down while we were there, but that was okay. There were lots of other playground-style sections, some lovely miniatures to examine, tables to sit and build, and even a little cafe with bar-style chairs facing the play area where parents could have a cuppa, watch their older kids and catch a breath. The 4-D movies were delightful and refreshing in several senses, too.But the best part of the experience came at the end. It had been a long day, we'd gotten a little turned around with the maps, and our little girl had a loose tooth that stung badly enough for us to visit Shopper's (which we only knew was a drugstore because 'Come From Away' mentions it,) for some peppermints. The Lego Discovery Centre had been so wonderful, and the day was ending. As children do, she was doing that little panic that kids will sometimes have when a grand experience is ending, and her father and I were really hoping to get out before the place closed and not be Those Americans. A hero appeared, and the excellent Nicholas, according to his nametag, helped our little girl by explaining that while the exact type of Lego set she wanted wasn't in the store that day, there was a website where it could be ordered online. And in our local currency! (I had it and a few more ordered before he was even done helping us; it was so delightful to watch her and her father building and testing their Lego racers on the little ramps. I might do a little ramp at home.)She asked if there were any Lego people she could get to be patients for her Lego hospital (yeah...dark rides, hospitals, her favorite stuffed toys are snakes and ravens...we're not Goth, but sometimes I guess kids are born that way,) and the brilliantly patient Nicholas helped her select the most perfect of bespoke minifigures, a three-pack, in fact. He answered her endless and slightly quirky questions with the dignity and consideration one would give a visiting ambassadrix, rather than the condescending, amusement so many people give precocious and mildly offputting small girls, and I got the general impression that working here must be a remarkably fun, if emotionally draining job. Like teaching. You get to help create important memories for families, encourage young people when they're at a critical formative stage and serving as emotional, creative and recreational support for adults doing the hard job of parenting.If being a parent is like being Agent M to a wildly unpredictable James Bond, going to the Lego Discovery Centre is going to the coolest possible Q Branch imaginable. Working with Nicholas to choose her special minifigures was a core memory for my little Secret Agent Doctor Astronaut Engineer Teacher, just like building the Lego racecars and testing them with her dad and I, riding a darkride with blasters to save the Princess, patting her parents' arms as we tried not to tear up at the glorious sight of the beautiful Pride parade in the miniature city of Toronto, (mutual friends in the Gay-Straight Alliance introduced us in '05,) or playing with children of every color and creed. It was a day of perfect, pure fun.I have rarely visited a place that satisfied positively every value I have, but I found it here. You won't be disappointed.

I took my 2 year old son on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. There was lots to do for a toddler and he had a pot of fun. We both really enjoyed the 4D movies and the foam blocks. He was also able to go up into the play structure when the crowd had died down and there were not big kids on it and he really enjoyed exploring that. The rides were perfect for a toddler(as long as they are of height) and the staff were very friendly. I have since bought an annual pass as this is definitely a great indoor activity for him that he can do at anytime. Just an FYI there are 2 annual passes, one is for Sunday to Thursday and excludes family oriented holidays and March break and the other (more expensive) gives full access at all times.

We had fun, but the price is steep. We paid extra for minifigures and were disappointed to each get the same one. Prices for LEGO products in their store are all marked up compared to actual LEGO stores and you can’t collect LEGO VIP points. I wouldn’t go back. Also, don’t waste any money in their cafe; you’re in a mall with much cheaper food court options.

We took our 4 kids: ages 15, 12, 6 and 4. Our oldest 2 had visited once before when they were 6&8 years old. They loved it then and still enjoyed some aspects this time around. They enjoyed the Merlin’s ride, b/c it is a fun ride that 5 people can do together that doesn’t require a lot of strenuous activity besides shooting at bad guys while going through a dark maze. They also enjoyed the 3-D movies which got us a bit wet and windy. It was great fun to see all the younger kids trying to grab the objects on the screen. The Lego maker class was excellent! Noel, the instructor was excellent at including the parents and older kids. The kids were so happy to see him put their creations in the mini Toronto LegoLand display, for the day!! Every time we walked by they’d say “ look what I made!” There was something for everyone! Building and racing, a playground, Duplo for younger kids. The eating area was large, spacious and clean. The washrooms were also clean and bright. The staff were very helpful and kind! We loved our second experience at LegoLand as much as the first time around. All of us, no matter what the age!! We recommend going during the week b/c it was less busy.

My 2 year old and 6 year old girls had a blast. My 2 year old was able to ride both rides and sat through 2 out of the 4 4D movies. We did the rides and played between shows. I probably would have watched all 4, (they're 20 minutes apart and about 10 minutes a movie) but my 2 year old was winded!My 6 year old really liked the fun house style ninjago play area. My 2 year old was more than content to go down the little slide and build with duplo. I personally loved the lego Toronto display the most, make sure you stay in that exhibit long enough to see all of the nifty details. My girls liked building a rudimentary race car and racing it down the track. My only complaint about building the racecar was that relevant parts were tricky to find. We went first thing when it opened on a weekday and it was enjoyable and not overcrowded. Hard to say how busy it will be once school is out for the summer break.

I was pretty disappointed. We still had tons of fun with the kids but we really tried to make it better than it was.For a Lego place there were only two building stations. One of which was duplo and was a very weak earthquake simulator. I had to really try to make a tower weak enough to fall and break. The other was a car building station with ramps. This was the best part, however, a lot of the building pieces were missing. Which I expected but still very unfortunate.The place was run down and fairly dirty. Staff had no ambition to encourage kids or to interact at all. Purchasing the Lego character with your pass was not worth it. You chose from two and they both were no good pieces.Food was reasonably priced which was a good thing and one of the reasons it got its second star.The 4d movie was good.This place needs a revamp big time. It needs to be bigger and more spacious. It was very very busy.
