LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston

Opens Friday, May 23, 2014

Are you ready? We are!

Mom’s Lifesavers has been there since the groundbreaking  (well it was more like LEGO brick digging) – see the post here for all the pics from past 8 months!

We’ve been back since for the behind the scenes hard hat tour as well as a sneak peak leading up to the grand opening this Friday. There is so much to do and see we couldn’t fit it into one post.

Part 1

Check out our Part 1 post for what to expect when you arrive, where to park and a look inside Kingdom Quest, the ride and MINILAND – a Mom’s Lifesavers favorite!

The Sights and Sounds at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston

LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston has so much to see and do.

TIP – Did you know that you can stay and play as long as you like? It’s recommended that you allow 2-3 hours to experience LEGOLAND Discovery Center but guests are welcome to stay as long as they wish and repeat activities.

LEGO® 4D Cinema

Come and ride alongside your favorite LEGO® Characters in our 4D Cinema. 3D films get an added special dimension to bring the experience to life, including wind, rain, snow and lightning. Three 4D cinema experiences are available – Spell Breaker, Clutch Powers and LEGO® Racers.

TIP – 4 D offers let’s you experience the movies in 3D PLUS experience the environment – it might snow, you could get wet, it might be windy – you’ll have to experience it to find out. If you don’t want to experience the physical part, try to sit in the row to the right of the main aisle.

LEGO® City: Play Zone

Side by side with climbing walls, slides and a jungle gym, the LEGO Fire Academy and LEGO Construction Site play zones are perfect for firefighters and construction workers-in-training. The LEGO Construction Site is suitable for children up to 36” tall, and the LEGO Fire Academy is suitable for children up to 56” tall.

TIP – Make sure your little ones are wearing socks. Children must wear socks to enter the play area.

Merlin’s Apprentice Ride

This indoor LEGO® ride is set in Merlin’s potion room, a world of wizarding magic spells and sorcery. Visitors pedal as fast as they can to see how high they can get, and are able to look out over the rest of the attraction.

TIP – Sneakers or shoes make this ride so much more fun that flip flops – this ride requires pedaling, wear shoes you could ride a bike in!

LEGO® Friends – Olivia’s House

Visitors are invited to Olivia’s House to join the karaoke party. They’ll join Olivia, Andrea, Stephanie, Mia and Emma as they sing their favorite songs on the karaoke stage, build cupcakes in the LEGO® brick pits, or sit and chat to with friends on the sofa.

LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Shop

The shop is open 7 days a week and does not require a ticket to enter. The shop is open Monday through Saturday, 10am – 9pm and Sunday from 11am – 6pm. The shop features over 900 LEGO sets and products and monthly LEGO set offers. LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston Annual Pass holders receive 10 percent discount on all purchases in the shop.

New England Themed Pennies

Looking for a souvenir that you can take home for less than the cost of a LEGO set? Opt for the penny squishing machine! LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston offers 4 styles to choose from – all New England Themed:  Red Sox player, Fisherman, Skier & Minuteman. Christine made hers with a skier on it, Bonnie opted for the Minuteman. So cool!

TIP- Bring quarters and pennies with you and you can customize a squished penny. We even have a tutorial on how to make a charm bracelet with your pennies here.
