LEGOLAND Discovery Center Kansas City

This was a wonderful experience for our boys. They ages 1-7. There were things for all ages. We spent close to 4 hours there. We would recommend it. Our 6 year old loves Legos and has the biggest smiles the whole time there.

Don't waste your money and time. This is garbage. Charging $85 for 2 adults and a 5 year old is highway given how little they have to do. Most of it is just Legos displays behind plexiglass that kids can't even touch. They can only look at them. They had two tiny rides, a very small building area, a small small car building area, a small train building area, a small house building area, a Duplo area, and that's about it. They had no connections for the trains to connect cars. They had very few Legos. They had a small playground and a tiny climbing wall that was closed. This is embarrassingly bad. Legos should be ashamed. Legos cost a small fortune, and they build this? Can they not even afford their own Legos? You manufacture them, yet Legos are in short supply at Legoland? The icing in the cake were the LGBTQ flags on display. Stop trying to indoctrinate and groom kids. No one cares what you do in the bedroom, so why do you think you need to tell us? I wouldn't pay $40 for this. We went back to the front desk after 15 minutes and asked for a refund. Thankfully, the staff were nice about it and asked what they could improve. I was happy to let them know. It's not their fault Legos is not investing money in this place. The Science City at Union Station had a better Legos play area than Legoland and was free with our children's museum membership from back home.

Kc resident trying Legoland for the first time with my 5 year old son. Pros: diverse attractions, STEM learning, well staffed, could spend more than 2 hours there easily. Cons: expensive, could be less fun on a crowded day. Pro tips: buy tickets the day before through Groupon and Starbucks is conveniently located inside. We loved it! I wanted to say no initially since it was more expensive than other nearby attractions, such as science city. However, it was something new and my son is into Legos so I said yes without even knowing what Legoland was. We entered easily and there were no lines so we walked in right away (during Christmas break on a cold day, i expected more people). I kept reading this place is “small” and while it’s not Worlds of Fun, i was impressed by the layout and so many different unique activities. My son loved the hands on car building and lego building stations, including the large duplo blocks. He immediately gravitated to the ninjago activities, specifically the laser maze. Lots of kids were doing this mission impossible style theme maze over and over. Next he spent some time in the indoor playground. Unique attractions such as this rotating wheel they can play in, and a play train! My son did the rotating rock climbing wall, the pedaling carnival ride (Merlin), and the quest train/shooting game. He enjoyed every zone except the art zone and movie theater (he is very active so I wasn’t surprised he didn’t want to see a movie 🤣). Then he wanted to eagerly find a place to make his own figurine so we went to the gift shop to make 3 custom figurines. We spent a solid 2 hours there and he could have stayed longer but we also got sea life tickets so we headed there to have enough time before close. Overall, I would take him back to Legoland but probably not sea-life. You can go there once every 5 years and it’s still the same 🤷‍♀️. Legoland was so much fun for his age and older kids, as well. They were all enjoying themselves and I did not experience the size or crowd concerns other people did. And this is from a person that avoids crowds. Staff was all friendly and interactive with the kids. My son said he liked the maze and his custom figures best. The custom figures you can buy without admission from the gift shop, so this could be a cute idea too for Lego fans. There were additional experiences such as VR, we did not pay for. Some kids said it was cool. For a larger family it could add up quickly, for just me and my son it was a great day and activity and we did everything (including sea life) for under $100 (parking, snacks and drinks, both admissions, custom figurines).

Family of four, spent about 3 hours there, could have rushed it in 2 or stretched it to 4. A good amount of hands-on activities, a few small rides, and a couple of fun physical challenges. If you're kids are 4 to 10, this is a good way to spend a rainy half of a day.

Was excited to check this place out with my Lego-loving 5 yr old son. It was smaller than I was expecting, crowded and kind of underwhelming. He enjoyed building his own Lego car to race. And the KC cityscape Lego models were impressive. We didn’t stay for a movie and he didn’t want to ride the ride. He was thrilled to shop at the Lego store at the end. Honestly, we could’ve probably skipped Legoland and just checked out the store and he would’ve been happy.
