LEGOLAND Discovery Centre

Fun for the little ones. First ride may be too scary for toddlers. Second ride needs adult accompaniment if chid is under 120 cm. 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.

I’m biased (but)
The food has improved and the variety has increased!
The price is fair (but)… It would be nice if they let you keep the model from the building class… They had the ninjago studio before, I thought that was better.
$ 100 for an annual pass. The other attractions are the same price but only for 1 season.
It beats nascar speedway, glad that Lego moved in.
Monday to Thursday least busy… Yes weekends are crowded, but I’ve seen them turn away walkins so they do «crowd control»

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.

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.

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

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.

Had my 5 year olds birthday party there because he loves Lego (and I do too, since childhood). Overall the experience was horrible, in the extreme. Like nothing I have ever experienced. Here’s the deal:
1. It’s expensive. But Lego is such a renowned brand I figured it’d be worth it. NOPE
2. Totally disorganized. Two parents are included in the price (ok fair enough), they then tell you that additional parents must pay for entry to attend (also fair enough). But what they don’t tell you is that the additional parents cannot attend the actual birthday party unless they have pre-​paid an additional fee. Not knowing this, the parents all went into the party room, only to be told they all had to leave. So of course the kids start crying wondering why their parents are leaving. It was just bizarre.
3. The parents who were forced to leave were then told they could not stay in the main area unless they are supervising kids. So at this point they are not allowed in the party room and are not allowed outside the party room. Again, just bizarre.
This place, that operates under the auspicious Lego brand, is so disorganized that a totally normal child birthday scenario literally rips parents away from their crying children and into an intractable situation. I kid you not.
NEVER HOST YOUR CHILD’S BIRTHDAY PARTY AT THIS LEGOLAND.

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

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.

Our family trip to Toronto kicked off with a visit to the Legoland Discovery Center. Thanks to the advertisement for Legoland in the intro of the Lego Movie, my 4-​year-​old son just HAD to go.
The tickets are cheapest when you purchase them in advance online. The price is a *little* steep, but think about the brand– nothing that says «Lego» is cheap.
Once inside the building, which is attached to a big mall, we got our reserved tickets and entered into the first section of the attraction which is all about how Legos are made. The stations are hands-​on so the kiddos can play regardless of whether they understand the process behind the production. An employee explained the process of the manufacturing of the Lego brick and handed out complimentary Legoland Duplo bricks. Our 4 year old was pretty interested at this point. Our 2 year old, eh, but he was a little young for this section anyway.
Next was a really cool ride where we got to shoot lasers at bad guys and earn points. (The points don’t get you anything, but it’s fun to compete with each other.) They also take a photo and offer it for purchase when you get off the ride.
There are sections that include Lego Toronto and Lego Star Wars scenes, though disappointingly, some of the moving scenes were not operational when we went. It is what it is, but for about $ 20 per person, one would think they could afford to fix these.
In the main area, there is one word: chaos! But what else would you expect? Build and race cars down ramps in one area (pieces were exploding everywhere!), build a skyscraper and watch it tumble with an earthquake simulator, make ice cream in the kid-​size Lego Friends house (which was kind of lame, really, but maybe the kids liked it). Also there is a section just for little ones, with tubs of Duplos and a really neat pit of gigantic foam Lego bricks. Those were pretty cool. A movie theatre with 4D movies running every 15 minutes is a great escape from the chaos of the main room. A large padded playground is in the corner for kids to let off some more energy, and a full-​size mechanical ride is also in the back. For the adults and hangry children is a café with the obligatory overpriced food.
All-​in-​all, this place is great for kids. There is SO MUCH for them to do and it spans all age ranges. Our four year old was happy with making cars and crashing them, and the two year old had fun stacking the giant foam Duplos into a tower. We spent over three hours there. When naptime came upon us and the kiddos started to break down, we left feeling satisfied with how much activity we got for the price we paid.

the enterence fee is now $ 24 per person. It isnt at all what I expected. Dull and boring. I could have taken the kids to Kidsport on dixie and got better value for my money and its cheaper!!!
On the website thwy make you think the food is made here like at the Science Center but its not. It’s prepacked food that you would find at a gas station. At least the gas station is cheaper priced.
If your going to come here eat a big breakfast or keep snacks on you. They dont check your bags or stop you from eating it once your inside.
And if you do buy food here expect it to be bad tasting.
Overall save your money and go to Kidsports. at least the food is made for you…

A boring place for adult!
Entrance fee is $ 22, has one interactive rides «Kingdom Quest», a 4D Movie theater with 4 different movies rotation, one helicopter ride, obstacle playground and millions of bricks
It’s good idea to spend time with your kids while your spouse doing shopping at the mall.
But for $ 22? way too expensive !!
Get the coupon buy one kid ticket get adult free.

Definitely not what I expected, should have read the reviews on Unilocal 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.

When you’re the largest toy company in the world with revenues of $ 2B, you’ve got a reputation to uphold. When you advertise years in advance that you will open an offshoot of LEGOLAND in the 4^th largest city in North America, you better deliver.
Well, LEGOLAND in Toronto is a big flop. It’s tiny. It can probably fit inside the gift shop and restaurant area in their California park. Prices are high, and you get very little value for your money, especially when you have toddlers that cannot go on 3 out of the 5 rides.
To add insult to injury, the company keeps advertising aggressively trying to catch more poor, unsuspecting newbies. It’s about time that Torontonians do not settle for being a gouge market.

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.

I came here for my nephews’ birthday (twins) and I had brought my other nephew as well. From what I heard you must be accompanying a child to even be granted admission to this facility. My sister in law was the one who had booked a party room for the kids in the main hall which is well after the rides, exhibits etc.
The main hall also has a refreshment area, some other rides as well as areas where children can play and use Lego to build mini go-​kart type creations to race down a slide. There is also a theatre that plays a variety of Lego related short movies.
Besides the exhibits of landmarks of Toronto that are built with Lego, there isnt’ really much for adults besides supervising your children. The controls with exit seem pretty good in a sense that the staff are very attentive with who exits that is a child cannot exit on his/​her own and adults cannot leave without children.
It is loud and noisy place but what do you expect being that it is a place for kids. It seems even louder probably because it’s indoors.

The novelty of a Legoland attraction opening in the Toronto area certainly got many of us local LEGOmaniacs excited when it opened. But the whole ‘EVERYTHING IS AWESOME’ soundtrack dies the moment one walks into the facility.
It begins at the gate. Yes, they do have an unaccompanied adult policy** (except for adults-​only nights), which wasn’t an issue since I had an excuse in the form of young out-​of-​town cousins with me, whom were probably more excited than I to visit this place. If you buy tickets at the gate, it’s an unAWESOME $ 22 for grown-​ups, and you only save $ 2 for being younger than a teenager. It was a summer weekend day when we visited, so it wasn’t so busy.
The laser shootout ride is the first major attraction you hit upon entering. It is probably the most exciting of rides they have here. This is followed by a cool, truncated and slightly interactive LEGO site model of Toronto’s many landmarks and attractions. You can be The Man Upstairs, or even Mayor Rob Ford. I bet Rob Ford’s weight’s worth in KRAGLE was used to build this Lego-​scale city.
Further from that, you’ll quickly discover that the LEGOLAND here isn’t big, and there is not much to it – fewer things to check out than I have fingers. If you’re expecting a grand theme park experience like the one in California (which I never been to), you will be utterly wronged. There’s an area where one can build a racecar with available parts and race it down a slope track. There’s a cinema playing 3D (or rather, «4D,» whatever that means) short movies, and a couple other kiddie midway rides. Let’s not also forget the café area serving overpriced crappy themepark food.
I got more excitement ninja-​ing my way through thick Toronto traffic just to get here, than I got out of the Ninjago ‘Laser Training Camp’, which is merely a course enclosed in a bathroom-​sized room. But it wasn’t as bad as the change machine for the penny presser refusing to accept my fresh $ 5er bill.
There isn’t a lot of discovery to be had at this «Discovery Centre.» As a place catering to the very young LEGO fans, I guess what really matters in the end is my cousins enjoying themselves for the hour or so being here – and you only need a couple hours to check out everything.
Other than that, and it being a decent source of employment for the area’s local teenagers, Legoland Toronto was quite an underwhelming, overpriced (which in this context is a polite way of saying ‘ripoff’) schoolyard playground experience. Better excitement can be had for 1000x the acreage if you just drive a mile further north and spend a little more to get inside Canada’s Wonderland. Or just use that money on a Lego kit. (If you have suckered yourself into a seasons pass here – and why the hell would you? – you can save a bit on the store’s merchandise.)
** There are not a lot of places in this world where you’ll come across a rule like «Adults must be accompanied by a child to visit the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre.» Also, Legoland is at entrance 4 of Vaughan Mills, next door to the Lucky Strikes bowling alley.

Warning: review is truthful and rant is eminent.
Have to agree with most of the review (bashing). This place is awful and insanely overpriced. Took two kids to legoland and really didn’t expect this place to cater to adults; but they manage to go above and beyond to not give a crap about adult at all. For $ 18+tax each, I expected better management to ensure kids have an awesome time. Lego are always available but if you for anything else, line ups are ridiculously long. Selected priority time for the tickets but guess what, the line up to get inside ensures that your priority by pass will expire and deem useless; also, they don’t have a separate line for priority and no staff to prioritize the line.
When purchasing tickets, you have to option to buy an «activity pack» that gives you access to maze and classes for $ 5. Not bad, right? Wrong! Did not find any mazes and classes are always full and no staff to direct those classes. Thats $ 10 I will never see again.
No outside food or drinks. Fair enough. I am willing and ready to pay for overpriced lunch. The selection is awful and disgusting. Pop, juice box and sandwich only. OK, we can do juice box and sandwich. Pre-​made sandwich that needs to be microwaved and tasted like it was two weeks old.
I can go on and on but I will say the kids had a great time in their playhouse, 4D movies, and laser gun ride. At the end of the day, my 7 year old niece agreed that she would not return. Its that bad.
Unfortunately for this place, nothing was AWESOME!

Adults unaccompanied by children are assumed to be pedophiles. Boo. And bizarre. There are loads of adult Lego fans.

Strategically opened right before March Break, Legoland was packed with kids when I visited on Monday. There were a few adults grumbling «Shouldn’t these kids be in school?»
Here’s the thing, you NEED to have a kid (13 years or younger) with you to even go into the Discovery Centre. If you’re over 13 like me without kids, and have been dying to sneak a peek inside, I suggest you borrow your niece/​nephew or baby cousin or friend’s children… Adults are not allowed to enter without children
That said, admission tickets are $ 18 for kids and $ 22 for adults. Annual tickets are also available for purchase with perks like 10% off store merchandise. Parents were lining up to the door to pre-​order tickets, so I’m not sure what the wait time is like.
I really really really want to go in, so please PM me if I can borrow your child :)
