We are counting down the days until the opening of a brand-new LEGO® Discovery Center in the Washington, D.C. area. Opening in summer of 2023, the 32,000-square-foot family attraction will open inside Virginia’s Springfield Town Center. This will be a must-visit for locals and visitors with children between the ages of 2 and 12.
LEGO® Discovery Center DC
LEGO® Discovery Centers — previously LEGOLAND® Discovery Centers — will offer highly interactive indoor LEGO® play where families are free to play, explore, create and laugh together. The Springfield location will offer new experiences designed to allow more family learning-through-play activities, with immersive interactive activities and workshops for children and their families to indulge their imagination with their own LEGO creations.
Next-generation LEGO Discovery Centers have been reimagined with a brand-new look and design, allowing more family learning through play activities. Throughout the new LEGO Discovery Centers, a team of playmakers and Master Model Builders will work to inspire guests through fun, interactive LEGO® Creative Workshops while continuing to offer the already popular, highly interactive, indoor LEGO play experiences.
We are so excited for the state-of-the-art LEGO Space digital experience called “Space Mission”! Children and families can build their very own space rocket out of LEGO bricks. Then, digitally scan their build, launch and fly it in space dodging aliens and landing on other planets in the LEGO space solar system.
Families will get to embark on an interactive adventure — a unique train ride on the Imagination Express using magic devices to collect points. There will be a preschool-focused LEGO® DUPLO® area with dedicated indoor play for younger children, filled with a dinosaur-themed carousel and slides.
LEGO Mini Model Builders
The search is now on for Mini Model Builders! These children are in charge at the LEGO Discovery Center. The chosen Mini Model Builders will be selected to be the very first to test and advise the team on how to make a visit to the LEGO Discovery Center an even more awesome experience.
These Mini Model Builders will also get exclusive behind-the-scenes previews and early access to the LEGO Discovery Center, plus free access for an entire year. Children must be between the ages of 4 -12. To enter, children will need to create their own original LEGO build. The final team will consist of 6 Mini Model Builders. The team will be led by Merlin Entertainments’ Global Master Model Builder, Alec Posta. To enter, eligible children and their parents can visit legodiscoverycenter.com
LEGO Mini World is the heart of the new LEGO Discovery Center. You will find familiar landmarks and scenes from the Washington, D.C. area and beyond. The whimsical scenes from both reality and fantasy are created from more than 1.5 million LEGO bricks! Don’t miss a build-your-own Mini Figure experience and an Imagination Express Ride. In the 4D movie theater you will feel the wind, water and other effects during the show.
