Let me collect my thoughts so I don't just go on a raging rant about what awful value this place is. I will frame this with the following: I brought my 2.5 year old here hoping that she'd have a blast. She's a very active child who loves playing with blocks and has lots of fun in various activity gyms. First off, let's talk about the price. $22 for adults and $18 for kids. I don't know about you, but for that kind of money I have some expectations. Not unreasonably high expectations, but enough. First of all, when you pre-purchase tickets you'd expect a quick entry. In fact, I'd expect a bar code or something that they would scan and you're in. This place is brand new, wouldn't it make sense that they put in some of the latest technology? No instead you stand in a line at opening where the line for pre-purchase is longer than those who are buying tickets onsite. This defeats the entire point especially when they alternate between the two lines. When you go up to the counter they need to check your photo ID and print you tickets. When you're in, you go through a demo of a fake "factory". Uhm..I was not impressed neither were most of the kids, especially after a restless wait at the door. The initial laser ride I'm sure is fun for the older kids, but PLEASE PLEASE have a warning that the first ride is dark scary and can frighten and be inappropriate for a younger child. If I had known I would have saved by daughter and myself the trauma. Ok here is where I go completely off the rail. When you get inside there is a 4D movie theater, lots of lego block to play with; however, there is an adventure gym and a carousel like ride. The minimum height is 90cm! The website tells you the height limit but you don't find out about the minimum height until you get there. This is ridiculous! So for a child with a normal height for a 2 year old who just paid all that money, you basically are missing a major part of the "fun" when you get inside. You try telling a kid why they can't go in when all other children are having a blast in there. There is only so much lego you can do! If your kid is a bit older and a lego fan, maybe especially the classes would a reasonable thing to go to. Maybe. Those describing this as a McDonalds Playplace, I disagree. A 2 year old has fun at McD's Playplace, here they are told they are too short. We tried to spend a full 2 hours there, at 1.5, we were done. Spend the money on Lego playsets instead! I'll never come here again. read more

The minute I stepped into LegoLand, I wanted to tear my landed immigrant card. If your idea of fun is hanging out in a hangar that boasts a colourful collection of Lego-themed wallpaper, you're in for a treat. If IKEA would build a theme park, it would probably have the same level of branded fun. AND it's inside a mall. Boring, loud, it feels like a corporate sham. My inner 7 year old was broken, and my real 3 year old wanted home. The compound was loud on a weekday, so weekend there is probably brick hell. Save your money for a set or three. It will last longer. I advise any responsible parent to take heed. Beware of LegoBland. read more

Not a place for adults but great for kids. My 9 year old son thoroughly enjoyed it. He loves Discovery and creativity. This was a great place to for him to lose himself in creating Legos stuff. Gets a little boring for adults but I love Legos too so enjoyed it myself as well. Need a few big activity stations. read more

You're going to be disappointed if you come here expecting Legoland. Of course, if the addition of "Discovery Centre" in the name didn't clue you in to a difference, your radar should have been set off when you noticed it's in a shopping centre. For reference, as you drive up on the freeway, Wonderland - no "Discover Centre" or other tag on the end - can be seen in the distance taking up an entire chunk of land as opposed to a corner of a mall. That is generally what amusement parks look like, and the Legoland Discovery Centre is not an amusement park. Now that your expectations should have been lowered accordingly: it's really not that bad. I think it's a perfect getaway for a few hours for the under-10-years-old crowd, and not too terribly mind-numbing for the grownups that must escort them. There were two rides - one an interactive shooting game, and one that was closer to what you'd find at an amusement park - and the lines moved smoothly and quickly. I don't think we waited any longer than 15 minutes (if even that) to get on either, which really isn't bad. There is a height minimum for children to ride alone, and each passenger has to be able to sit up on her or his own. In other words, you can't bring your babies on the ride, so make sure to bring an extra adult, or that your child meets the height requirement. A small theatre is the next attraction after the shoot-em-up ride, with shorts playing every 15 minutes. We didn't go to that, because my child was more interested in playing with the Legos. There were multiple in-ground pits (about the size of a child's small plastic pool) full of Legos where the kids could build, as well as two tracks for racing Lego vehicles that they put together. All in all, the younger kids will be thrilled to be here, and the price isn't really terrible for what it is. For reference, at one of my local indoor play areas, it costs $27 for my child and me simply to enter, and some features cost extra. If you buy your tickets online, you'll spend $32 to access all the play areas at Legoland Discovery Centre. The only thing for which you'd have to pay extra is food and the pictures that the park takes for you. read more

I think that I'm being extremely generous by marking Legoland as even a one star, I would put zero if I could. The only reason why I give it a two is because of the Kingdom Quest ride. Please save your money and go some where else. I paid for my ticket and my older daughters ticket, while my youngest got to go in for free. I bought my ticket online as they claimed it would be a better rate. Sorry to say it Legoland a dollar cheaper for a boring time isn't cheap. So for an adult and child it came out to $50 fine my daughter wanted to go and I thought hey the second gets in for free. So the three of us went. The line ups to get in are confusing and haphazard. He customer service was not the greatest as they were annoyed when I asked what I needed to show them to get in. Once we got in we got our photos taken. We entered a room that had some Lego toys and made our way to Miniland. If you have a toddler under two that walks make sure you bring another adult. My toddler wasn't able to go on any of the rides or go into the play area other than a lame slide. My oldest however was allowed to go on but try being in two places at once. Moreover, the peddling ride you can't go on even if you are accompanied by an adult if you don't meet the minimum height requirement. Seeing as we got there first thing in the morning t wasn't too busy thank goodness, but as it got busier it was harder for me to supervise my toddler and my older child. My toddler got bored quickly of the lame slide and pretty soon I found myself wishing we had never come. Luckily, the only saving grace was that all three of us were able to go on the Kingdom Quest ride. It definitely was not worth the $25 that I had to pay to get in when that was the only attraction I could go on with my toddler. I think legoland should be ashamed of itself for charging for such a cheaply put together attraction. After a few hours I chose to leave and will not be planning to go back how ridiculous. read more

Absolute waste of money going there. The place is tiny and the kids were bored within an hour. I took my 3 children and they were not impressed. They didn't want to go back again and we have never been back, even though we shop at the mall regularly. My 2 girls love lego friends and were pleased to see a lego friends part on the map. Their faces dropped when they got there. The place is tiny, could fit around 6 kids in it. In fact the whole place is tiny, the map makes the place look massive. We wanted to buy an annual pass but luckily decided to try it out one time first. The kids didn't want to go back again. Much too overpriced. Worth paying around $10, max, for kids and adults should be free. Kids were bored within an hour and wanted to leave and walk in the,mall instead. read more

Our 5-year-old has a lot of fun here. After our first visit we got the annual value pass for him, so now we've made a few visits this year. There are two rides, there's a fair sized activity centre, some workshops, and a short 4D movie. All makes for a nice afternoon of fun. The challenging part is the exit is through the store, so the kids *always* want to buy something, which is an added expense after already spending so much to visit the centre. read more

Definitely not what I expected, should have read the reviews on Yelp first. It's basically a big warehouse with different sections for kids to play. My 4 year old son basically spent the entire time at the Lego car making section so he could race his Lego car creation down the 3 ramps. There is a big jungle gym area with a slide that wasn't too bad. The rest of the reviews cover everything else. The price is ridiculous but we went to Costco beforehand and got a family fun pass (2 adults, 2 kids) for about $60 including the tax. This worked out much cheaper than the $22 per person they charge if you walk up and pay. I would say this place is overpriced and parents should be free or minimal because all we do supervise our own kids. But my son did have fun but I'm sure there are better places and cheaper places to go that could offer similar attractions. read more

LEGOLAND Discovery Centre - The car Ramos - Kids Activities Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

It's disappointingly small; admission is high for such a small attraction. You can quickly go through this whole "Legoland" in 30-45 mins. Considering the price, I would expect a lot more. A lot of the motorized pieces were not working properly during our visit read more

I'd suggest any of the adults here check out one of Legoland's Adult Nights (which happen on the last Wednesday of every month), where you can enjoy a kid free Legoland. I don't know what it looks like during the regular days, but considering there were kids that didn't want to leave the park today, there must be lots of them. Happy to skip that. We booked adult night tickets in advance online, so it was a bit cheaper than getting them at the door, and while it still felt a bit expensive, I did spend around 2 hours running around the park and having fun on rides (there are two of them), playing games, and building cars (and then racing them) with LEGO, and building minihouses with duplo, so overall I had a good time. I also liked the miniatures exhibit of Toronto's downtown and area. All of the staff was all friendly as well. The thing is - Legoland is small, and there isn't *that* much to do. We finished with everything quite quickly, and found ourselves wondering what else is there... It's in Vaughn Mills (a mall), at entrance 4. Go on adult night. read more

It's really exiting place to kids and good for education as well. Making lego mobile and testing, playing gym, and ride ... many kind of activities is ready for playing. I would be there if possible later again. read more

A bit too pricy for what it is. Also too small and cramped. Toronto and Canada themed exhibit is nice but the lighting isn't that great. Would have been a nice touch if visitors can buy Lego sets at a discount. This is Legoland after all! Get a family pack at 30% off at Costco. It really isn't worth paying full price. read more

Lots of Lego sets. But you can't do the Lego land without children. Super disappointed. read more

LEGOLAND Discovery Centre - The entrance! - Kids Activities Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Terrible customer service. Totally disorganized. Had to wait twenty minutes to process pre-bought annual passes. Sent me to the wrong line and then made me wait another 10 minutes. read more

I had a great time here with my family last week! I wonder if some of the other reviewers were expecting something more like LEGOLAND, the theme park. This is definitely more of a "LEGO-themed indoor play place", but considering that, we were really impressed. The crowds - There were a few school groups there during our visit, but it never got so crowded that I was like "We need to get out of here!", which did happen to me at Ripley's Aquarium just the day before our visit. The rides - The two rides were on par with the rides we rode at the LEGOLAND theme park in California. My daughter loved the castle-themed ride and rode it six times - and the line moves so quickly that it never became painful. My sons enjoyed the "pedal faster to go higher" mechanic of the wizard ride. The movies - We watched all four of the 4D movies. Each one is 10-15 minutes long, and they rotate them often enough that you can see all four of them in a single visit and really get your money's worth. My kids are 4, 6, and 8, and giggled all the way through them. Other attractions - My older two loved the Ninjago obstacle course - "It feels like I'm really in Ninjago!!" - and played with all of the LEGO building stations, especially the earthquake tables. We did not do the guided LEGO model-building lesson thing, but be warned that the kids are not allowed to keep their models. I also really liked the LEGO details throughout the place, from the cool models, to the Easter eggs hidden in the Toronto city model, to the pictures on the bathroom stall doors. The food - I can't comment on the food as we brought our own lunches, but I will say that the smell of freshly-baked pizza coming from the cafe area was incredibly tantalizing. The store - The LEGO store as cool as any that we've seen, with the addition of some accessories that I've only ever seen sold at LEGOLAND. It was hard not to buy All The Things. The bottom line - My kids would love to go back, and so would I! Maybe next time, I'd bring more spending money for the LEGO store. ;) If I was local, I'd also strongly consider a membership so there wouldn't be as much pressure to do everything and get my money's worth in one visit. read more

Nice place for kids, but too crowd in the weekend. It is hard to take kids coming here in the weekend because too much people make the place looks small. In weekdays, less people and your kids will have a fun. The only thing is no staff supervises indoor playground. read more

See all

My son had the best time of his life. Come during the week, it's not busy at all and we spent most of the day here. Food takes awhile but other than that, fun experience. read more

Not worth the money at all. I went with my 4 yr old. There are 2 rides.. wait is too long for the merry go round.. if your kid does.not actively like lego def not worth the drive or the price.. in comparison the ROM costs 18 bucks and 14 bucks for kids.. lego cost me 22 bucks a tkt. The 4d movie was fair... read more

This is definitely over priced. If you chose to make this a family outing even with just one child the cost would be over 60$ and it just doesn't warrant the price. I could do the zoo or Science Centre for that money and have much more bang for our buck. If I'd spent full price this would have received a much lower rating. That said, I read the reviews. We didn't make it a family outing and I had a free children's ticket. For this money (about 25 after tax for me and my son) it was worth it. A couple of small rides. Some short movies. A small indoor playground and plenty of Lego to build with. My son is six and passionate about Lego. He can spend hours building. This is an okay indoor winter activity if you can get the right price. My son was thrilled. Parent, bring a book! There are lots of benches around the complex for you to sit and read while the kids play. read more

Not worth the price. Took a 4 year old who is in love with Legos to Legoland and she was not impressed one bit (I wasn't either). It was rather boring. I know on the website they rave about all these different themed sections/areas, but it was extremely underwhelming in person. A lot of the things at Legoland just weren't working. Boring for the kids too. The best thing there was the 4D movies. They played short 15 min Lego movies and the 4D effect (wind and sprinkling of water in the audience) was a fun surprise. I think it needs a lot more improvement and maybe staff in each of the sections guiding children or letting them know what they can do in that particular section. read more

While it definitely occupied the kids for a few hours, the Legoland Discovery Centre was overpriced for what it was. A model city, a 4D theatre, a single ride, a jungle-gym, and some lego building activities, the $90 entry (for a family of 4) is excessive. A disappointing Legoland when you've visited the US amusement parks. But, the kids were occupied for a few hours... read more

so overpriced, as adults we are going to watch over our kids, so if it is a family of 4 we pay $22 pp for one kid to sorta play?? for the price you pay this isn't worth it at all! On the positive side, my little one aged 3y had lots of fun. read more

This place is fun but disgustingly dirty. I understand that there are a lot of kids and it's hard to keep clean but I think they need more staff and more cleaning staff. In the 3 hours that I was there, I didn't see a single person tidying up or cleaning up. This place is disgusting. Just look at all the dust on top of the Koala Care change table in the family bathroom. This place also doesn't have enough bathrooms. My kids enjoyed it but I probably won't want to come back to this place. read more

This place was a JOKE! Totally over rated and quite dirty. Hubby and I took our 5 year old there for $100 so we could watch him play with dirty LEGO on the floor? Lol there are WAY better venues to take your kids where you see MORE for the same price (Ripleys and wonderland- even woodbine mall rides was better than this place) they also charge full price for adults when we just stand around and watch our kids. Lol I was expecting WAY more. They only thing I loved was the mini City of Toronto all made in LEGO! Either way my son had fun and that's all that matters but I could have spent $15 and taken him to an indoor play/ trampoline place and he would have loved it and it wouldn't have cost so much! read more

Rip-off. The things to check out there are worth more like $10 than $22. I should've checked the reviews before I went here. But I thought hey, it's Lego, it's gonna be awesome. Much to my disappointment. read more

Fun for the little ones. First ride may be too scary for toddlers. Second ride needs adult accompaniment if chid is under 120cm. Lots of interesting things to see and do but the whole facility was a bit small. Budget 1.5 hours. Great selection at the gift shop. Mall opens before 10 so we arrived early to get a good parking space. Would i come back? Maybe. Definitely maybe. read more

A little on the expensive side. Rides and attractions are very short. My kids had fun though so, I guess that is what is important. Food is expensive but aren't they always at theme parks? read more

The novelty of coming here quickly wears off when you see how chaotic it is! It seems that parents were dropping their kids off and letting them watch themselves. In the short time I was there I witnessed a child crying holding her nose for 5+ mins while she tried to get staffs attention, I had to step in and tell someone. I saw a small boy jump off a high ramp meant for toys multiple times with no sight of his parents and another boy bullying my 3 year old nephew. It's a cool concept but in order for me to return I would need to know that people are actually watching their own children and staff are doing more to keep them safe. read more

They have really let the place go. During the weekday they under staff the place, most things are not working, they don't really bother to do anything about them saying that they can't get the parts easily b/c it's from the UK. I even talked to the manager. There is a hockey game ìn the Lego city that my son has wanted to play for the last 1 year. It has never worked. I don't recommend this place for anyone who has kids over 6. It's disappointing. They even took out the hot dogs and replaced it with terrible sandwiches that were a day old. I asked where is the food - they stated the order hadn't come in. The only great thing was a worker named Sandra who went on a ride with my kid while I rode with my daughter. read more

I am sorry to say that we were not terribly impressed with the facility. The Kingdom Quest ride repeatedly broke down, there was a lack of staff providing supervision and guidance and the place felt it was over capacity. The amount of children and adults in the place was overwhelming and concerning had there been an emergency situation. Legoland you need to do better here read more

I don't ever write reviews like this. But after reading all the bad reviews of Legoland in Vaughan... after I had already bought the tickets, had me very worried about what it would be like. But since id already spent the money, i went anyway. I have a 2 and a 4 year old. They are both VERY active girls who love the outdoors, ride ATVs and snowmobiles and love lego. They know what fun is. We showed up at 3:30 and on a saturday and walked right in. Everyone on staff was extremely friendly. I even asked if a Technic kit that was in the display cabinet was available for sale and one of the staff called a manager, got the key, removed the kit and sold it to me. And he was happy to do it. After entering into the discovery centre I will admit, it was busier than I thought. We entered through the mini city... which both my girls though was super cool. The first attraction, the laser game, had a line that was way too long to wait in so we skipped it. We did the "how its made" tour with a really nice young man who treated my kids great. It was pretty lame experience for an adult... but the kids loved it. And guess what, WE WERE HERE FOR THE KIDS... NOT FOR US. We then entered the larger play area. There were ALOT of kids... my girls, who are used to a far more secluded country lifestyle, were intimated. But not dismayed. we tried to build some cars to race down the track, but there were just too may kids so they both gave up. Then they both tried out the smaller kids slide, which they liked. My youngest wanted to stay there and play with the large rubber blocks and go down the small slide but my oldest was drawn like a magnet to the jungle gym deal... the "Fire Academy". Ill admit, its nothing special really, nothing I havent seen at other play areas... but she loved it. I mean LOVED it. After about 30 minutes my youngest wanted to try it out too and she LOVED it also. They played in that thing for about an hour and a half. My wife and I sat on a bench and talked and watched them. Honesty, it was great... heres why: Im not a selfish parent who only enjoys taking my kids places that will entertain me as well. Im HAPPY to sit and watch my kids play and have a great time... that in itself is a great time for me. Was legoland an awesome and engaging experience for me or my wife, NO... but I came for my kids and they both came away saying they had the best day ever (which they always say when they've had fun, but in this case they meant it just a little more than usual). We didnt eat there... I knew the food would be crap and would be expensive, so we went after lunch but before dinner. We didnt expect every attraction to blow us away. Some of the stuff my kids liked, some they didnt. The girls played in the Lego Friends house for about 5 minutes, got their pictures taken with the Lego Friends life-size statues then We did the merlin ride thing before we left. Long line up but the girls both loved the ride. If we had more time, or if the line was a bit shorter we would have don't it again, but by this point both girls were totally worn out. Neither was disappointed in Legoland in any way. Positives: great staff, fun activities for a wide age range. relatively easy to supervise your kids. Its an easy place to just let your kids play... I barely had to DO anything at all, they just played on their own. Negatives: Ill admit, its a bit expensive. I think the big issues here is what alot of other people have said, why do patents have to pay? We don't DO anything. Id be happy to pay the $20 or so for my kids (my youngest was free but id have paid for her if I had to) and maybe an extra $5 per parent. That would be completely reasonable IMO. But this really didnt sour my experience. Many of the attractions looked quite used and worn and alot of things didnt work. it wasn't an issue for us as my kids preferred to just play on the Fire Academy thing and play with the blocks... but from an optical standpoint... for the paying parents, the stuff should all work and be in nice condition. Finally and lastly, too many kids in there. they should have a limit and stick too it. Theres just not enough room for THAT many kids and parents really. Other than those 3 things, I was happy, my kids were happy and we all felt it was a good time. If your feeling scared off by many of the other reviewers you need to ask yourself WHO your going for. If its your kids and their enjoyment, go... it will be good. If its all about you and weather or not your having fun, don't go. read more

Expensive for what you get. And don't buy the season pass! There is no replay value! But there is a new scam they are using now. If you get there without buying a ticket online, they tell you the wait is 2 hours, but they tell you if you buy the season pass you get in right away! Warn your friends and family! read more

We traveled 2.5 hours to get there only to be told that they were SOLD OUT!!!!! We were told to come back in 2 hours to see if possibly they have spots open or we can by a timed spot online if we had a smartphone, which we don't. The employees were rude and we were told that we were not allowed to wait the 2 hours on their property. So we exited the Legoland to wait just outside on mall property and the employee came out and said if we don't leave the property, Me and my children will be forced to leave. We were not allowed to stand there for 2 hours and wait if we wanted to, on mall property. They don't sell times tickets there and they don't have kiosks so that people without cells can even purchase them. When we did get in, the Kids had to fight over the little amount of Lego they had at each station and the jungle gym was no better then a park play structure. The rides were ridiculously short and it was $15 for a cheese sandwich for the kids!!! Don't waste your hard earned money here!!!! read more

First time inside the discovery centre and I'd say it was worth the money and my time. I can see many people on this review weren't satisfied over the pricing, but that's because they're expecting some sort of Legoland theme park or resort for adults. I understand the high value in general admissions, but lets not forget about a few things, 1 being the brand, and 2 the upkeep to run and maintain the attraction. There's a 4D show that last for 15 minutes each with 4 different types of show. With the prices of movie theatres now, wouldn't you say paying around $20 a fair reasonable price to watch the 4D movies as well as enjoy their attractions? The foods are decent, the usual pizza and snacks, but if you want something different, there's an entire foodcourt in the mall you can walk to... I took my 5 year old nephew (who loves lego) and my 8 year old nephew (who's grown up with lego) here and they both loved it. The 5 year old one actually cried when I told him we needed to go home 3 hours later. Their favourite part was the soft play, an area where they can run around like wild animals without worrying about getting hurt. I see other solo kids making new friends there, which is a benefit if your trying to get your kid socializing. My favourite part was building a car and racing them, spent a good chunk of the time there building legos with my nephews. Overall, the experience was great, not sure why I see bad reviews, but lets not forget that this place is for the kids, treating them to a lego experience that's close to home. read more

Okay place but we were first refused because all tickets were sold out so we had to order tickets online for a later time. Kiddos liked the place but a little pricey read more

Second time here but only because my boys like it. 5 and 8 year old. 8 year old loves it because all he does is builds a race car and races it. The 5 year old plays in the play ground. The two rides suck the movies are boring and this place is so uncomfortable for parents I'd rather sit on the toilet an d write this. Super expensive that's why I bought the passes at Costco. I do not recommend this place, that's why I told my boys this is the last time for a long time... read more

Our 6 year old nephew loved this place and staff were excellent with the kids. Well worth the money!

Big letdown. Charging adults $22 a head to watch their kids in this oversized Playland is a joke. My kids are Lego freaks and they lasted 90 min (including a 13 min movie) before wanting to go home. Spend the money on Lego instead and stay home. read more

I have had basically the same thing to say as all the other "1 star" people here. Really wish I had have read these reviews BEFORE going. Chaotic would be an understatement for LEGOLAND, as there were literally HUNDREDS of kids running around bouncing off the walls, because there was no other way to focus energy. It is also an ULTRA CASH GRAB - we were constantly being encouraged to spend more $$ at every turn. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. GO TO A PLAYGROUND and take advantage of your tax dollars. Don't feed this corporate monstrosity any more than it has been already. What a horrible experience. Really mad at myself for going. read more

Boooooooooo! And booooooo! again. What an overpriced WASTE of time and money. And to top it off they wouldn't accept my son's Lego gift card when he tried to buy something in the attached store. "We're not owned by Lego," the cashier explained. Silly me. All the Lego signs and merchandise and exhibits made me think you were under the Lego corporate umbrella, but no, it's a separate company and your gift card is no good here. Customer service fail. read more
