My son and I did a trip out to Tucson and Phoenix during spring break. Since we are LLCA pass holders, we figured why not visit this discovery center. We had only visited once discovery center (Toronto), and don't have much experience with them. Like most they it is located in a mall. I don't mind this as there is ample parking. We arrived just before opening and were greeted as soon as they opened. They had the Ferrari build event going on, we were kind of bummed they were out of the lanyards, but my son could at least participate in the event and received his pop badge. There isn't a whole lot to do, but there are a few rides. It's an easy way to spend an hour, I'd say maximum 2 hours. I appreciated that there was a little cafe with tables and chairs so I could sit for a bit while my son explored. Don't worry, he's old enough. The staff while not as upbeat as most at LLCA, we found them mostly friendly. We brought pop badges from CA to trade and everyone my son offered to trade with was so excited. Overall it was a nice way to spend a some time in air conditioning. We also checked out SeaLife and were thoroughly impressed.
Exceptional service and a total win for Spring Break! "We visited Legoland Discovery Center in Phoenix last Wednesday March 18for Spring Break, and it was easily the highlight of our week. The kids had an absolute blast, but what truly stood out to me was the flow of the attractions and the incredible staff. The customer service went well beyond any typical ranking--every crew member we interacted with was amazing. It's clear their model is centered on making sure every child has a priority experience. They went above and beyond to engage with the kids and make them feel special. Highly recommend for an stress-free, high-fun family day!"
I got to tag along with my grandsons and I had a real good time. Rode a couple rides, played a few games, worked on my ninja skills and then watched a few movies. And then I played with Lego's. All packed in a couple of hours. The place is well organized and lit well. The floors and restrooms were clean...nice. The staff were very nice and the ones interacting with the kiddos were great. If you have to be indoors your time is well spent here. Last words...air conditioning.
All attractions were open and running. Our kids had a great time and easily spent a few hours. Everything was clean and well kept. Got to watch the 4D Lego show that had water and wind effects. There is a little laser maze, a Lego virtual experience that does cost an extra seven dollars. Race tracks, play area. We would definitely return.
Can't read my, can't read my No, he can't read my Lego face... Honestly didn't know what to expect from this place. The Legoland in CA is a theme park and this is more like a small activity center with a few rides. Located inside Arizona Mills you'd probably assume it's a big Lego store from the outside. It was great for our toddlers, they got on rides, had an indoor playground, built Lego cars, watched a Lego short film and tested their Lego Ninja skills. It's a good way to beat the AZ heat indoors. We bought a package that included the SEA LIFE Arizona Aquarium next door. The staff was very helpful in pointing out the package, that saves you a bit on both. Plenty of parking around Arizona Mills and right by the entrance. Design your Lego face along with your personalized character when you enter. You can take photos along the way and use a QR code to see the photos. You finish by going thru the store, so many options hold onto your wallets. All in all nice place to give the kids a break.
Suggest buying the package deal get the aquarium with LEGOland. We enjoyed both! Lego land was kept nice and clean, only complaint I'm sure it's hard to keep it together with all the kids, the car Lego building area was a bit rough, hard to find all the right legos to build a car or enough right parts.. the rides was fun and the theater 4d experience. Staff friendly plenty of activities and to dos for kiddos to keep them entertained and going. They have a small snack area nothing to crazy there I felt the need to buy but at least they have the option.
My grandkids age 8 and 5 1/2 loved the virtual reality, the rides and all the experiences. Both would come back in a heart beat. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of room and seating. The restrooms are great too!!
If you've taken your little one(s) to LEGOLAND in Carlsbad, you know that it's great for the little ones, but not so great for the little, little ones if you know what I mean. LEGOLAND has a lot of rides for the bigger kids but is very limited on rides and activities for the toddlers. LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Arizona Mills is perfect for tots that aren't quite tall enough for most amusement park rides. It's a small facility right in the mall and is very interactive for LEGO lovers. We began our visit on the interactive Kingdom Quest ride. You ride along in a little cave shooting characters to save the princess. After the ride, we enjoyed the play areas where kids can climb and go down slides. Of course there are areas where kids get to create things with LEGOS. There was an area to build race cars and have them go down the racetrack against cars built by other kids. My favorite has got to be the little LEGO pool that is basically a huge tub full of LEGO pieces. My son actually got in it and pretended to swim. So what happens with all of the LEGO pieces that get strewn around the facility? Well, there was an employee, who very diligently and patiently went around, sweeping up the LEGO pieces off the ground. Phew! Bless her heart. There's a little snack shop in the back and of course LEGOLAND wouldn't be complete without a gift shop. There are cute LEGO lunchboxes available as an option to get to have your food served in. We'll be back so the kiddos can have more interactive fun the next times we're in the Phoenix area.
Came for my son's 6th birthday. Alex was amazing and helped us switch ticket days for us. This allowed both of my son's best friends to come for his birthday. Upon arrival, my son also got a birthday crown, keychain and sticker. Their 4D movies were broken which was sad but the kids had a blast doing everything else. The food court area also had a good variety of food and the prices weren't outrageously priced which was super nice. The bathrooms had fun Lego figures on the doors and a sink for small children. They have two rides.... One that you pedal and it goes higher. The other is a video game type ride. They have plenty stations with Legos for creativity and fun! Kids want to come back again.
Got 40% Off for Summer and decided to check this place out with my toddler. We intended to go to Legoland in San Diego earlier this year, but we didn't make it. Parking was a little far, as the lot was busy, and in the Summer, walking across the asphalt is brutal. Luckily there are some trees there to provide some shade! Walked right in, scanned our barcodes, and were advised one of the rides was down due to employees on lunch, but would be back up within the hour. We followed the prompts and began to explore. The play land was fun for my little guy and the 4D movie was fun for all of us and included some sprinkles of rain and wind for effects. The rides were good in quality and one of them reminded me of the Super Mario ride at Universal Studios...only shorter. There were places all over to create your Lego masterpieces, and even race them down a few tracks. We checked out the dance room, but were bored a little too quickly. Overall, this place was fun at the 40% Off Discounted Rate, but I probably wouldn't pay full price. If there was a Monthly Membership that was reasonable, and we lived nearby, I would consider it for sure.
Absolutely LOVED IT!! I'm nothing but a big kid at heart and had a blast looking at the various Lego displays and of course having so many sets to get in front of me was incredibly dangerous!! I was visiting from out of town and will be back for sure! Not sure why the little cookout brings me so much joy, but it sure does!
This probably breaks Yelp rules but I think the fair thing to do is update with my afterthoughts rather than rewrite or edit my initial review. It's been 2 days since my visit to Legoland. And I have since decided my experience wasn't as great as I initially felt. First, there are many many Lego bricks being touched, yet, I didn't see a single hand sanitizer station. Nowadays, kids build with kits. All Lego bricks were single in tubs which is not what my kids prefer so they didn't want to build things. They ended up spending all of their time in the play place and the 2 rides. Yet, the rides are definitely geared for younger kids. But after thinking back on the rides and the play place I have realized there is really nothing for a tween or teen to do in Legoland other than the movies and creative brick building from a tub. This location is very small by 10:30am it was packed and literally difficult to move about. With so many people in the cramped space it's difficult to move about and difficult to get to the rides. We were in line for the rides for 45 minutes to an hour. Also, the gift shop is only Lego kits, Lego figurines and a few Lego plushies. There are no t-shirts or magnets - like small things that just say Legoland on them that aren't building items. Just some thoughts to perhaps help Legoland AZ to improve. I do believe this place has potential.
My family and I visited here on 7/11/26 which was a Saturday in the summer. Knowing it would be busy, we made sure to get there close to opening. Overall our day went well. We enjoyed the rides, the 4D movie, all the opportunities to build, and especially the mini model of Phoenix. I was also very impressed by how clean and well-spaced everything felt despite it being a very hands-on place. The reason it did not get 5 stars for me was the amount of employees and subsequently the wait times. Not counting those in training, the first ride had 2 employees, the second had 1, and the mosaic room had 1. Each ride also had one person in training, which will be very beneficial for them. Having more employees available overall would have been great. For example, in the Merlin ride which has flying vehicles that can go up and down, there was one employee that seemed experienced and the trainee. There were 6 vehicles that could fit up 2 at a time. We witnessed the ride cycle through twice before our turn and we timed that it took us 30 minutes before we rode. The ride itself was maybe 2-3 minutes in its entirety. It took that long for the employees to load everyone on, check seatbelts, run the ride, and then unlock and release the people that just finished. Here is what I would change: have a designated employee at the entrance that counts off whoever is going on the next ride and prep them while the prior ride is going. That means take the measurements, ask who is riding (adult w/child, etc.), and explain the rules. Once the prior ride finishes, both the employee from the entrance and an employee from the exit enter the ride area to unlock the passengers, one for the outside guests and one for the inside. Then let the new passengers enter and repeat the seatbelt check cycle. Resume positions and start again. If I was to go again the first thing I would correct was to wait on going on the second ride. Get there early and knock the rides out first to save you time. I sincerely hope they find a way to operate faster because this place is super cool and without the long wait time, I would be way more likely to return. It is a great way to spend a day indoors during the AZ summer! read more
I thought it was a great deal to have the ticket combined with the Seaquarium ticket next door. It was only $28 dollars for both and you can visit the aquarium 60 days after you visit Legoland (we did that). This discovery center was full of displayed legos with AZ's and the valley landmarks to begin your journey. The play area is great for the little ones. They can go on the slides, a mini interactive journey in a "it's a small world" type of moving ride , build legos, and so much more. I don't get the bad reviews. The place was clean and you can even take advantage of a small cafeteria and clean restrooms inside. read more

My trip to Legoland Discovery Center was fantastic! From the giant Lego octapus greeting us at the entrance to the detailed Miniland cityscapes, everything was such a fun experience. They have many different Lego sets to pick from, but one that I was on the search for was Titantic. After walking through the store, I wasn't able to find it so I asked the employee and he was nice enough to share that they weren't sure if/when they would get it back in stock since it sounds like they were limited availability, and may not even sell it anymore. read more

This place is worth a visit if you have Lego loving kids, but just make sure to set expectations. We got there early which was great because as it got busier, it wasn't as much fun since you had to share the space with so many people. The kids were excited to try the earthquake shaking Lego building set, but in reality, the shaking did very little. The car section was a mess and hard to find the things needed to build out your cars. The rides were just okay. It was fun and worth our time, but one visit was enough for us. read more

I thought the Lego displays and Lego store in downtown Disney was impressive, but this location is incredible with an octopus fountain display! The store is spacious and has an experience you can book as well. Be sure to take your Lego loving friends/family here! read more
We met friends at Legoland Discovery Center in Arizona Mills mall on a Tuesday. It was our first time visiting and it wasn't too busy. Tickets are $24.99 before tax, or you can do like we did and paid $29.99 to get Legoland and the Sea Life aquarium next door. We had a blast and spent all day at Legoland, so we have sixty days to return and use our pass for Sea Life. In our group we had two 6 year olds, an eight year old, two moms, and grandma. Everyone was entertained! We all had fun starting on the shooter style ride aiming at targets through different scenes. Then we walked through mini land where all of the scenes and buildings were Arizona landmarks. Some even had buttons to push that made characters move. The baseball football stadiums were awesome but the Grand Canyon was my absolute favorite! This whole room was so cool! In the main play room, there is a snack bar with drinks and food and grab-and-go snacks. Because they weren't too busy we were allowed to leave to grab lunch in the mall food court. (They won't allow this on a fuller capacity day). We all had fun building and adding on to the little city in the FRIENDS zone. The kids made friends and spent a lot time playing on the play structure...which gave us moms some adult chat time. Then we all watched the 4d ninjago movie. They have a few different movies that play throughout the day. We competed in building structures that could survive in the shaking earthquake zone. Competition continued by building cars to race and jump on different tracks. We peeked in the master builder room at all the 6 that Master Builder Alec (Check out his well known youtube channel) has put together. We finished the day by writing the second ride which was a spinning/flying ride that you had to peddle to go up and down. It was a fun day and now I really want to go to the real Legoland Check out more on Instagram @msbusyblonde read more

Kids absolutely loved it and so did my husband! Lots to do. A 4D theater, snack shop, play places, rides, and more! Super clean bathrooms. Cleaner then the bathrooms in the mall that legoland is in. A big place to buy legos as well. Definitely hours of fun for kids of all ages. read more

If you have a child about 10 and under, this place is pretty cool. I've been to Legoland and was quite surprised how much they have here to do. The center is at the mall. It has two actual kid rides and a 4D movie theater that plays 4 different movies at different times. There are also several areas where you can just build legos, a small little cafe, and an indoor play structure. The mini land- was so cute and had miniature replicas of things and places in AZ. I came with my sister and her kids and she was contemplating getting a season pass, so the kids could have a place to play indoors in the summer. My nephews and niece had a blast, and I did too! We got the cheapest pass, which was 25.99 a person. read more

I came here once for a Yelp event and then we came recently because we wanted to take my daughter for the first time. I think they're a bit overpriced for being so small. I mean, you're basically playing with legos or there's two rides that you can go on. I think our daughter enjoyed the rides more than the legos. It might be a little more fun for older kids. ( our daughter is 3) But either way I think they're overpriced. You can probably go through the whole thing in an hour. read more
