LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester

Avoid at all costs. Insanely overpriced, tiny, incredibly disappointing and expensive way to spend up to an hour. Go if you want your kid to be bored and if you enjoy remortgaging your house

Such a shame they limit you to 2 hours I spent £69 1 adult and 2 kids under 12 with the VR experience and activities pack and while it’s good there isn’t enough time to see everything before they are kicking you out, would I go again No I wouldn’t

We arrived at the front desk, after a very long journey to which the lady was very helpful and I don't blame her or Lego for this, but once we arrived we were asked if we had a child with us, which we did not and we were then told that we could not be allowed inside as it was only for parents and children which was not specified or made clear on the third party website Viator who we booked thro. And then to make it worse I tried multiple times to request a refund from Viator but was unable to as the page would refresh after only 10 seconds I am extremely annoyed and will never be booking through this site again. Again I don't blame Lego at all and fully understand that they have to put the safety of the child above all. However Viator on the other hand I expect a full refund at the very minimum even ignoring the cost of travel.

Visited recently , great way to spend a couple of hours , the boys particularly liked building and racing their own cars on the various tracks , as a Dad I liked reading all the Lego facts !

My 24-year-old daughter and I wanted to visit. We didn't have any small children with us, so they wouldn't let us in... :(

Good please to go for an hour whole visiting Trafford centre. Little soft play area and 4D cinema is nice. My daughter’s favourite part is VR (£5 for one ride). We visited many time. Not sure if it’s worth its price, as we are Merlin pass holders so it’s included. Coffee is really bad! Not sure why it says Costa, taste wasn’t even close.

Don't buy sub sandwich from cafe - egg mayo merely had a smear of egg mayo on bread

Great time thanks. Admission fee was fine but online was a lot more expensive to add sea life on? Staff were helpful and friendly. Kids loved it

If I had to summarise my entire experience here. It would be meh at best. There was essentially no experience to be had, staff were less than enthusiastic and told us next to nothing about what was happening inside. We had our photo taken at the beginning of the experience but had no idea why or that the photo would cost us money on top of the expensive entrance fee. The LEGO “factory” was pointless. A bunch of boring nonsense on a wall that the kids nor adults cared about. The two rides took longer to get started than the rides actually lasted. The mini landscape area was really cool. Honestly more focus should have been given to creating cool Lego structures for people to take photos with and see and experience. A mini scape where we could pretend to be godzillas in would have been amazing. everything was glued together so I can’t understand why so much was hidden behind glass. The main area was chaos with staff members who looked like they’d rather be anywhere else but there at the best of times. The race car area had no structure or organisation to the bins of Lego you were using at all. Zero staff were in sight for over an hour we spent trying to build cars with the family. Half made cars were left abandoned on ramps. Eventually some staff members showed up to oversee an official “race” which lasted less than 3 minutes. Kids queued up to get a photo with a Lego trophy. Assuming all who made it to the “qualifiers” would get a pic with it. Nope. It was taken away after the first place kid got a photo and staff disappeared never to be seen again anyway. Very disappointing for a child. To have a photo op area but the trophy gets taken away is just silly. There was zero clean up on any of the Lego. It was an absolute mess. No one was there showing us how to build cars or giving people ideas or really any structure. It was essentially find your own fun. Kids left unsupervised also ruined the experience due to having no idea what a queue is and constantly pushing past us to go on the ramps with their cars. Even kids who had parents with them did it and the parents said nothing. Very disappointing. Not a single bit of Lego was given for free for the £20+ tickets. Not even a souvenir piece that said LEGOland discovery centre or something. Mini figs weren’t given with overpriced kids meals even though they were meant to be. The Ninjago academy had no staff member near it. So it was unsupervised random activities again. Absolutely zero structure. Kids were hogging trikes on the bike area with no consideration for others and yet again no staff oversight. Overall the entire place was boring, cluttered, lacking a clean up and severely lacking some staff oversight, engagement and ways to make it fun for the kids. The only staff member who engaged was the 4D cinema announcer before the 4D film. Overall a complete waste of money.

Amazing! My 3 year old loved it.
