    Dear Legoland, It's 2025. How is it still this hard for Black and Brown kids to find themselves in your world? For almost $200, my young nieces searched and searched for a Lego face or torso that matched their beautiful brown skin , and found nothing. Not one. Five years ago, I pointed this out. Over five years later, nothing has changed. That's not oversight, that's neglect. Sure, you sprinkled in a brown toddler figure and a Lego wheelchair user (which is why I gave you two stars and not one). But when it comes to actually letting kids build someone who looks like them? You failed. Again. Even worse, after watching your 4D movie with all its diverse characters, my nieces made me go back to search again, hoping they missed something. They hadn't. You gave them hope on a screen but no reality on your shelves. Parents and guardians of Black and Brown kids: prepare your hearts. You will pay top dollar for the painful task of explaining why your child can't find themselves here. Legoland, this isn't just disappointing. It's embarrassing. It's shameful. And it's a loud reminder: Representation matters everywhere , not just when it's easy or performative. You have the ability to fix this and you just haven't. Don't worry...I promise this won't fall under DEI. You won't offend anyone or lose money. You might make more. Fix it. Our kids deserve better.

    This is purely a review of the gift shop. I had a blast making a Lego character of myself. I saw that done at a wedding. It was super fun, and really allows you to be creative, and joke around with whoever you're with while creating your avatars. I had it in my head that I wanted a Star Wars Lego set for my birthday. They did not disappoint. I spent a long time deliberating on what set to get. I managed to compromise, by getting a cool ship (which was important to my boyfriend), and the classic characters that I had nostalgia for.

    I took one of my kiddos I babysat here and we had the best time ever the staff was friendly and welcoming , we will be coming bak

    Worth a revisit if the last time you've been was before they renovated it. It now has new sections added for both younger and older kids, such as a Duplo area and push merry go round, laser maze challenge game, rocket Lego building and game area, and Lego race VR experience. It has a much bigger Lego display and they added meet and greets with Lego characters. The 4d movies have water and snow as part of the experience and are my favorite. I like the Lego cops movie because it is very interactive, has many effects, and is pretty fun for a younger audience. It's pretty big in there, very clean (for now), and much more comfortable than before. Can easily keep a kid under 10 years entertained for an entire afternoon. They also have a customize your Lego figurine in the shop downstairs. My complaints are, not many stations that are supposed to interact with the Lego figures worked and there's only one booth at the entrance for digital photos. You get one pose with different backgrounds to choose from. So I'm not sure if that's worth it to purchase as part of your ticket. But we did enjoy the visit and had a lot of fun!

    One of the best things about having a kid is being able to come here. This was our second time, and my daughter was happily entertained for over 3 hours. My husband loved it too. There's something for everyone here. I like the laser maze. The ride where you blast things to save the princess is fun. We liked building all kinds of things too. Can't wait to go back.

    4d movie theater. Make sure you're ok with getting wet, it was more than we anticipated.

    We had a great time here! For context, my daughter is 4 and had a blast, especially in the soft play area. We also had a lot of fun in the toddler area, which I would recommend if you're thinking of going with younger children. You don't have to love legos to go. We would visit again!

    Seriously this place is so cute and fun for the whole family! I was able to end part of my work conference (hence the business attire) early and take our toddlers here. They had so much fun! This was our first experience at a Lego Discovery Center and I'm so glad we got to visit the Boston location. It's clean, full of Lego-terrific staff who go above & beyond for your kids & it's nice that it's all indoors and temperature-controlled. Liam even got to use this device to take a picture of his Lego mini figure and at the shop he got to print his own literal mini figure plus accessorize him...how cool is that. The 4D theater is epic! It was so much fun! That is included in your admission but times are limited. The VR is extra but my husband and 5 year old had a blast! It was worth the $6 each ride. The cafe is also reasonable and they even sell Starbucks. Parking isn't free but we did get front row metered parking. The store is great. They are low stock in some of the mini figure accessories so if you're trying to build something specific, ask in advance if it's in stock. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely will be back!

    Took my pregnant wife here as we were scouting out places for our 2024 Holiday Card with our unborn child. To our disappointment, we were turned away since we "did not have a child present" even though my wife insisted she was with child. I wish I could give this place 0 stars, but Drew, a welcoming gentleman helped guide us towards the mini figure department, where we built a hypothetical 3D model of what our child's room would look like (see pink) - Lego giraffe included for comparison.

    Small place but plenty of fun for kids. 2 rides with no lines on a Sunday after noon. There's a big cafe with Starbucks. They're showing different 4d Lego movies no extra charge. Kids were entertained for hours while adult sat around sippin lattes. It's no real amusement park but it's cute and fun. It is in the middle of a shopping center.

    We've visited the Legoland Discovery Center when they host an adult night and another time with my nephew. Let's just say it's better for kids than adults. It's located at Assembly Row in Somerville. Even though we bought the Ultimate Value Package for $28/pp, which includes a limited edition keychain and a lanyard attached to a booklet to stamp in each area discovered, so not worth it. It would have been fine if we bought the single pass for $22/pp, or when it's on sale for $19/pp. Kids from 3-12 have to pay for the adult price. An adult over 17 must be accompanied by a child. There's an annual pass for $43/pp, if you go at least 2 times, it pays for itself. There's a decide size room for building legos and for the kids to play, with a huge jungle gym area. There's also a cafe. Don't get the pretzel, it's stale. We spent about two hours with my nephew and did the majority of what they offered here. And there's street parking around the area but it's easier to park in the garage, it should be free under 3 hours. Kingdom Quest- A ride to shoot down trolls and other medieval monsters with laser guns. It's okay for the little one. Lego Stars- 4D Cinema experience. We hated this and my nephew wanted to leave midway through. It's a 15-minute movie. Be prepared to get sprayed and splashed with water. And do not since in the middle if you do not want to get soaked. Luckily we were on the side but we walked out feeling gross. Merlin's Apprentice- It's a two-seater ride that requires peddling for the cart to float. Decent ride. Boston Miniland- All the common Boston landmarks build with legos. It's pretty awesome to see! Overall Service: Staff was sparse throughout the building, though pretty nice when we encountered them.

    This place exceeded my expectations. I've walked by it dozens of times and gone into the store to admire the Lego sets, but had to wait until my cousin's kiddos were ready to check it out (since adults can't enter without a kid!). At $19.99 per person over 2, this was not cheap but I'd argue it was worth it for the ~2 hours we spent there. You do need to actually engage with everything to get the value out of it, but even as an adult I saw the opportunity for this. Activities included: - an intro video / group experience with the virtual factory (do this! don't just walk through!) - an awesome, massive display of Boston with lots of interactive features - a regatta, buttons to push and lights to turn on, scenes that change with the actual reasons - the "save the princess" ride which I personally could have gone on 3x - not all the lasers worked but 2/3 in every row was enough for us - the flying Merlin ride - uhhhh a little scary but great - the 4D cinema, which I thought was entertaining and the 10 and 6-year-old enjoyed - lots of spaces to build, including cars with a ramp, buildings you could stress test (shake), and room to make a stop-motion video - a cool scavenger hunt where you stamp your card throughout, which the 6-year old enjoyed (costs $5 more, I think - was worth it for 1) - a play structure We did NOT do: - the builder workshop, though it looked awesome, we just missed the timing - the VR simulator If you actually love Legos, I think the displays alone could satisfy you for an hour and everything else would be icing on the cake!

    Did the kids have a perfectly fun time on the rides, the laser maze, building with lego's, marveling at the lego structures built?

    AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO 4 & 1/2 STARS. A SIGHTSEEING TOUR ON WATER OF BOSTON ON A PIRATE SHIP!…read moreGoldstar has Discount Tickets for this Water Adventure. If you are a Fan of those Pirate movies then you've got to experience the Real Thing! The tour combines fun interesting facts about the history of Boston plus they show you many points of interests both past & present still standing in the city. They even throw in some Pirate stories as well like Sam Bellamy & The Widdah. The crew is all dressed in Pirate attire so you really get the whole Pirate experience. We had Captain Mckinnon & Captain Mead. Both Kids & Adults will like this nautical adventure in the 7 Seas. They even let the kids help hoist the sails. This is Great to put on a future resume - Yup I helped sail a Pirate Ship. LOL! It gets chilly on the seas so bring an extra jacket. They also have Free Blankets they pass out if you're cold. You'll pass by The TD Garden, The Zakim Bridge, The Old North Church, The Seaport Area, Legal Seafood, The Rebook Headquarters, Logan Airport, The Charleston Navy Yard, The USS Constitution & many other sites. You'll definitely get heads a turning cruising in the Pirate Ship by other boaters along the route who will give you a wave. There is a rest room below the deck. It used to be, you had to have mega bucks & be really rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!

    What a great experience and nice surprise. We were looking…read morefor a place for the kids to run and play after a long train ride - it was exactly what we were looking for and more. There were so many slides and equipment for the kids to climb and slide and jump. While there were a lot of people and kids, it didn't feel out of control, most people there seemed to be attentive. The playground area was a artificial spongey turf and definitely makes it safer for the kids when they topple over. LOL There were benches under trees for parents/guardians to sit while safely observing the kids play. When the sun shifts, it gets really hot in the summer. Bring an umbrella for shade if you aren't able to find a seat under a tree. The bonus we hadn't expected - the water part of the park. The Kids loved it!!! We will definitely be back when we are in the area. The kids didn't want to leave...luckily we were close to the Boston Market Place Hall where they could get a cool drink and a treat - that was the only way we could get them to leave this fun park. LOL Highly recommend!

    If you haven't seen the viral video that has this long metal slide dubbed the "cop slide,"…read moredefinitely give it a watch. Usually this playground is for kids (not cops) and is complete with a rubbery soft ground. Some of the materials could be harsh, like lots of static coming from a metal slide and possible scrapes from the concrete. I found the area to be clean and safe. With City Hall directly in the center of Boston, this playground is walkable to all downtown staples from the North End to Boston Commons.
