Amazing experience for my wife & I and especially our kids. There are so many things to do, as well as keep your kids entertained for at least two hours. Legoland offers a variety of small and large interactive stations that are beneficial to a kids imagination. During holiday season when kids are out for break is the best time because they always have a show themed for children. They have workshops and also coffee shops for adults for the in between times. Very helpful staff and very sanitary for children and adult safety.

Mini land!

We went to check out the Legoland Discovery Center. I took my 7 and 10 year old. We got inside and were instructed to go to the 4th floor. There is a ride when you first enter, but one of the workers told us, since the line was long.. she recommended coming back and doing other things first so we weren't waiting in line. You enter through mini land, which was pretty amazing! Lots of sights to see. My boys enjoyed that.. onto the main floor.. there is another ride.. a 4D cinema (it rains) .. a cafe.. VR (extra $) .. a build workshop.. a play area and lots of different LEGO play sections. My boys were entertained! The food at the cafe was just okay.. very much kid sized .. and options were slim. But all good for kids. I didn't try the coffee. Overall we had a fun experience.. maybe 2-3 hrs at the most and then they started getting bored! We purchased off Groupon so it was a score!

For about $20 a ticket, my kids had a blast for over 4 hours. They built stuff with Legos, watched a couple of the 4D film shorts, raced Lego cars, marveled at the Lego models of San Antonio buildings, played on the play structure, and had such a fantastic time. Be sure to bring socks for the play structure (though if you forget they're only $1 at the cafe). Also a pleasant surprise - coffee and cookies were reasonable price for an amusement center.

If you're in town, you can just bring your kids to LEGOLAND. Kids really enjoy spending time there on their own. The price could be a little cheaper for the entertainment provided. Anyway, it's all for the kids -- if they enjoy it, that's enough for the parents.

I don't think the price is worth the experience but I do think it's a cool concept that included a small ride. I wish it was a little bit more interactive with more planned activities for building things. This seems to be a place for smaller kids like toddlers rather than young kids (8+). Some other displays were not working (buttons) and I feel like the $7.00 activity pack was a waste of money. The actual demos were pretty cool. I also appreciate it the fact that they provide complementary or discounted parking.

Totally fun time at Lego Discovery Center today. We bought tickets ahead of time online. We were able to book a time of our liking and arrived with plenty of time to enjoy the space and all the Legos we wanted. It's not The first attraction is a ride, where you have to shoot your way through to find and save a baby dragon. Then you will head through Lego Master Kevin's 1.5million piece rendition of the city. It is a really amazing likeness of your favorite Downtown location. We also opted for the $8 activity book, which gives the Discovery Center rooms a purpose. The kids can complete tasks and stamp their progress. If you get hungry there's an in house cafe that serves sandwiches and Starbucks. There is another ride called Merlin's Adventure, teo playgrounds (one for little kids and and one for little kids). Every other hour there's a Lego Expert led Creative Workshop. Violet was super patient with my kiddos. They would regularly ask her about the Legos around the Discovery Center. She was awesome and taught us names for the weird shapes like BURP and SNOT. The one thing we missed was the 4D Lego Experience, but the kids were stoked about coming back...so, for next time. It was a fun time for Lego builders if all ages. We would go again.

It was really small but it was lots of fun my baby boy loved it and keeps asking to go back so we most likely will.

Do you have little ones? Toddlers, maybe young kids ages 5-9? This place may be the outing you need in order to burn off their energy but also challenge their creative minds. Located inside of the Rivercenter Mall Shops (along Riverwalk), it's easy to find if you are parking in the garage. Parking costs $15 for up to 4 hours, which I think is sufficient time for this discovery center. The SeaLife Aquarium is right next to Legoland and combo tickets can be purchased for quite a nice discount. I wouldn't recommend taking kiddos less than 1 to Legoland discovery center because I'm really unsure of what they could do. Inside, there are a few rides which was kinda cool because of how limited the space seemed. They have a car building station, a few places where kiddos can sit and adults can watch their imagination unfold, and even an indoor playground (one for older kiddos and one for toddlers). There is a plethora of figurines which leave you in AWE because of how detailed they are. You could purchase an annual pass if you have the type of kid who would do this thing daily, but for us, we will have to wait a while. Oooo and for us adults, there is a coffee shop inside! So don't fret if your child doesn't want to leave.

Ann P.

Kept the kids entertained for several hours. The combo ticket w SeaLife is worth it IMO. Some cool things but a tad underwhelming. The 4d movie was terrible, not sure why it's advertised as 4D and the Dreams movie they just started playing wasn't great (no story at all, very little dialogue). Some water sprays which was fun for the kids tho. Good way to spend the morning in San Antonio to escape this scorching heat.

We decided to make an afternoon at Legoland discovery on our recent San Antonio trip. It is in the the shopping mall situated on the riverwalk and although a bit of a trek, it was still in walking distance, even for our 4 year old. They do have a pretty cool setup here where I think there is enough variability where this place has just about everything for all ages of kids. You can choose to partake in the activity pack which will allow your little one to track their progress at all the stops, a bit of a treasure hunt. Your first stop is a bit of an amusement park ride - where you shoot at lego targets, similar to interactive rides at entertainment parks. After the first ride you get to walk through the display area to see a lego San Antonio, Alamo and flowing Riverwalk and all. Once in the main area - they have 8-10 other stations that all have a theme as well as a different level of complexity, really cool! It kept our little one busy and was entertaining for us adults as well. All in all, it was a great way to spend a hot summer afternoon and we are excited to check out the discover center up our way when our little one needs his next lego fix.

This was our second time to visit Legoland. It's really best for kids under 12. What surprised me about this place is that it's not actually a theme park, which is what I had expected. It's more like an indoor play place. It's located inside River Center Mall which has access to the Riverwalk, so that's nice. It's really not the kind of place you could spend all day at unless you're really trying to. There are two rides and a Virtual Reality ride you can purchase for an extra charge. There is an indoor play scape that the kids really love, and a cafe that I would honestly skip unless you're starving. We ate right before we came and planned to eat lunch here, which we did, but it was pretty disappointing, mostly snack bar food and kid food although there is coffee, and there are plenty of options for little kids and some allergen conscious food options, so I appreciated that. The 4d movie could probably use some repairs, the fans just blew the entire time which made it cold, and the water jets only sprayed certain seats and dropped between scenes so depending on where you sit you could come out completely dry or drenched. I think they might be suffering the same staffing shortages as many businesses because it was kind of a mess, there was no soap in any of the bathrooms and overflowing trash cans, and the only employees I saw were stationed at rides or attractions, so there wasn't really anyone to talk to if you had questions or issues. I will say miniland was really cool, and my kids really enjoyed Legol overall.

Tomas R.

Went with my friends to take their kids to this Discovery Center and I must say it's a tad confusing for those if its their first time. Upon arrival it's a bit chaotic as they try to push you to purchase their bundles to enjoy LEGOLAND and Sea Life. Once you pay and take the elevators up you'll be ushered into a line to take group photos (don't worry you can pay $$$ to get a copy as you leave for the day) and then you're ushered into another line. I kinda wish there was signage to inform you the very first ride was optional and that you can actually move forward without it. The way the layout is set leads you to think it's a must. The main area is what the kids go crazy for as that's where you can build models and enjoy the discovery center. I did enjoy the lego replica of the city though which had a daytime and nighttime feature.

Matt G.

Wouldn't recommend. 100 bucks for 3 people to really just go look at Lego sculptures, which is only 1 room. They have time slots to go in but NO organization on how long people from previous time slots can go in. So even though your time slot may be 15 people, there is 100+ more waiting for you upstairs and you aren't able to do anything. Too many people. Not worth the money unless your time slot #1. Don't do it. Save your money unless they reorganize their processes.

A Proud Grandma's 5-Star Review of Wacky Kidz!…read more As a proud grandma, I can honestly say that Wacky Kidz holds a very special place in my heart! I have celebrated ALL of my grandbabies' birthday parties here, and every single one has been such a wonderful experience. There is nothing more precious than watching your grandchildren laugh, play, and make memories that our family will cherish forever. One of the things I love most about Wacky Kidz is that you get the entire place to yourself for your event! You can relax, enjoy your family and friends, and let the kids have the time of their lives. Knowing there are security cameras throughout the facility is also a huge plus and gives you extra peace of mind while celebrating. Wacky Kidz is truly a place for ALL AGES! The kids have so much to enjoy, and even the adults can have fun with the pool tables and other activities. It's not just a place for the little ones--it's somewhere the whole family can get together, celebrate, and have a great time! Another thing I appreciate is that everything is shown on their website, so you can see what they offer and plan your event without having to guess what's included. It makes the whole process so much easier! For our family, Wacky Kidz has become more than just a birthday party venue. It's a place where we've celebrated our babies, watched them grow, shared laughter, and created memories that mean the world to me as their grandma. Those moments are priceless, and I'm so thankful we've had such a wonderful place to celebrate them. If you're looking for a fun, private, family-friendly place to celebrate a birthday or special occasion, I HIGHLY recommend Wacky Kidz! From the kids to the adults, there's something for everyone. Thank you, Wacky Kidz, for being part of so many special memories with my grandbabies. We appreciate you more than you know! Five stars all the way!

We were running late but the hosts got everything taken care of when we got there. Everyone had fun, and our guests felt safe because they didn't have to worry about strangers and the gate gave an extra barrier to the exit for littles who get too excited. We celebrated my daughter's birthday here 4 years ago and they really have upgraded a lot since then. It's nice to know that they continue to improve as the years go by. Can't wait to celebrate more with them in the future.

However, when we asked for a paper agreement to hold the date, she said they "didn't usually do them." When we insisted that for a corporate event with lots of money on the line (our entire booth is supposed to be themed around the sloth), we needed at least SOME kind of agreement and deposit in place, she promised multiple times across two phone calls to send us something...but never did. Two different members of our team tried patiently to follow up with her for OVER THREE WEEKS via email, phone, and text message. We didn't even get the courtesy of a simple message back saying she couldn't do it, and frankly, it left us in a difficult position and created reputation risk for us with other vendors. I absolutely cannot recommend this mobile zoo if you need someone reliable for your event, and candidly, the lack of responsiveness we received is hard NOT to perceive as extremely rude. It's sad, too -- a member of our team apparently saw this zoo present at a different event and said it was good. But how would you even know they were going to show up? I see they have lots of good reviews, but they all seem to be old. I can only guess they must be missing whatever management they used to have. All around just a huge bummer.

The last few times we went over a span of this last year we have seen the foam mats warp (so kids trip over them), trash and crumbs (we go opening hours on Sundays so they aren't cleaning before opening or at closing the previous day. Wall paint in bathrooms are peeling away. Most of the games at the arcade are not functioning properly, are out of order or haven't been maintained. I'm not even going to mention the ticket distribution and prizes. The last time we went, I noticed the casing on the toddler swing toy was completely gone. I mentioned it to the staff and was met with, " there's nothing we can do about it now". While that can be true, you could convey some kind of acknowledgement, apology or genuine concern versus irritation. Eventually staff went and did their best to remedy that particular situation. There's also an area for foam balls to fly out of a machine for kids to play and they were filled with the plastic ball put ones so it wasn't really working. I brought it up to staff and they just shrugged it off and said kids take them and so they are probably all around the place in ball pits. (Again we came at opening). So that particular area doesnt really function as intended, because it has a drop down basket for the foam balls and cannons to shoot the balls from. Overall it is just looking more run down each time we have gone and by this point it seems like it wasn't accidental. It's a shame because I have fond memories going when my oldest was a baby and that's why I don't give it a lower rating.

There were plenty of snakes to look at, and that part was genuinely fascinating. Unfortunately, everything else left us feeling uncomfortable and honestly pretty upset. There were far too many farm animals packed into tiny enclosures. Most of the habitats looked extremely small, bare, and lacking any kind of enrichment or stimulation for the animals. It was hard not to feel concerned for their wellbeing. Instead of enjoying the experience, we left feeling sad and disappointed. I would not recommend this place, and we will not be returning.
