    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Random shot but cookout anyone?

    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 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.

    Great for kids under 9 I would wager. Kind of a "Chuck E. Cheese" without the video games and a bunch of Legos instead.

    Anyone have luck with pop badges at this location?

    Can we use our Elite Legoland CA passes to obtain free entrance to this Discovery Center and Sea Life?

    I have 10 yo boy and 6 yo girl, would they place suitable/fun for them? Thank you!

    If they enjoy building with legos they should have fun. Do the movie.

    Has anyone been to the second Tuesday adult event?

    I have an eleven year old and were taking a trip to phoenix. After we go to the water park we want to know what she would like. She loves thrills, but hates standing around. we try to keep it even for our 3 year old should I do this?

    What day of the week is best to visit?

    Midweek is less busy but my boys prefer the weekends when it's full of kids to play with.

    AMAZINNNNNGGGG!!!!!! This is a multi-room place you can go and bring your friends for fun…read moreactivities. The rooms range from activities that have strength, brain teasers, teamwork, and more. It's such a great bonding opportunity and allows you to have fun with whoever you bring with phones down. Parking is NO issue at all at this location. They have so many spots available given the strip outlet location it's in. I do recommend not wearing any thick or heavy clothes and bringing as little items as possible, because you will be moving A LOT and sweating will be your enemy. They have a bar and restaurant as well, but we didn't get a chance to go. Definitely will be back, and next time need to go for 4 hours! I think we did 2 hours and it didn't feel like enough time.

We tried one game about 8 times and made zero progress so just quit trying. 2. Some of the games are extremely physical. If you pass level one of a game, you move to level two. If you fail level two, you restart the entire game. This happened to us in one of the room several times. I like the concept, but both of these things are incredibly frustrating. We'll probably go back and see if we're any smarter or fitter than we were before. If you're in great physical shape, this is a good place to exert a lot of energy!

The price was $21 per kid+$4 for socks, making it in the middle of cheap and expensive. With limited options for any better price point we ended up attending.

We have a 7 and 10 year old and both had a ton of fun. I got a play card to play some games and we got our fill of fun and burned energy by the end.

Not hardly any balls in Down the Clown, Pinball game with no working ball, etc. Play area was fantastic. Kids definitely enjoyed that part. This is what is unique about the place and the reason to come here. The giant tree is magical. The snake slide is really cool. We all like the aquarium that is incorporated into the play structure. Parents do not have to pay to play if you prefer to be a spectator. There were many massage chairs around the play floor and signs saying you could only sit in them if you were paying for a massage. That said, I wanted to use one, but I couldn't find one that worked. Just kind of gives the place a lower end vibe. They do have one ride (Frog Hopper), but you need to go request an employee if you want to ride it. They give you the feeling that you are annoying or bothering them if you ask them to come over to operate the ride. I do not like having that feeling so my kids only went on the ride once. Tried the food. It was okay. Nothing gourmet, but it is typical for the quality one usually finds at these indoor kid play places. Nice that they had Icees available.

    CAPTAIN PLANET What do you have to do to before you come…read morevisit this space? You Planet! You might not like that joke, but you might like this immersive attraction located in Arizona Mills Mall. Bubble Planet does make you feel like you are on a different world as you move your way through various rooms with all kinds of cool visual and physical sensory effects. You are the captain of this voyage as you are in charge of how you navigate this space. Speaking of space, you transcend space and time, because there is no time limit! And the venue space is large, so all you bubblebutts, out there will have plenty of room to explore within this bubble universe. Bubble Planet is more hands-on and interactive than some of the other 'immersive' experiences that have been popping up here and there, so it was one of the better immersive activities in my opinion. This place can be experienced by all ages but better geared towards older kids and adults because of the photo ops for posting to social media platforms to fuel our clout chasing obsession. I hate to burst your bubble, but you can blow through the whole thing, start to finish in maybe 20 minutes. If you came with others, you could maybe spend up to an hour here at the most if you took your time and take a lot of pics. It would be nice if they added some more activities to feel like you got your money's worth, but if you feel like blowing some money on bubbles and photo ops then pop into this place.

    Let's get down to the dirty truth about the Bubble Experience…read more I want you to try not to think about the money to fun ratio you're about to spend. I know that's really hard because when we purchase something a bit on the pricey side for a group activity we expect the world. If you can put this out of your mind you may have a really good time. This place is Kid friendly Toddlers and your littles will absolutely love this experience. I took my 1 yr old niece and practically had to drag her out of the place. It's also a great experience for teens who are seeking some IG worthy pictures Speaking of pictures the lighting in each room is beyond terrible so if you're looking to score those IG moments bring extra light that you can clip onto your phone or prepare to do some editing before posting. Here are some pro tips: Take your time in each room- don't feel obligated to rush to the next experience and take your time. Bring wipes- sounds silly but at the end of this your shoes are super sticky and literally sticking to the carpet and it feels like quick sand so bring some wipes to clean them off. The day I was there was hot. It was like the AC was barely on so add in the extra bodies and all the moving around and we got how real fast so bring a handheld fan and wear real deodorant. BRING SOCKS the bubble pit requires them and they have some for purchase but pack some socks. I know it's summer right now and we all have a sandals on so here's a pro tip to save you some money The bubble pit is noooo joke. The balls are difficult to walk through and if you flop in prepare to struggle to get out. I say this because I saw plenty of people flog back for a photo op while holding small children and watched in horror as they struggled to get up while their kiddo sunk deeper and deeper into the ball pit and they then lost them amongst the cute bubbles The bubble pit is a workout y'all Other than than prepare to have a good time Take all the cute pics Enjoy yourself and don't rush through the immersive experience
