    I think it's so nice if you come with your family. Especially, my 8-year-old son loved it so much, and my second child, who is 127 days old, looked at the aquarium and couldn't take his eyes off the fish. It was such a happy time.

    Bottom line, you’re paying for kids to play with Legos. If, for some reason, they can’t do that at home, then this might be a good alternative. You have to pay extra (of course you do!) to access everything in here, too, so be aware. Aside from the three “rides” and one VR set up, there are a bunch of stations for kids to build their own creations. Aside from being able to do this at home, the legos at the stations are pretty trashed (especially the car racing station). There’s also no disinfecting happening so, like most kid-related things, be prepared for whatever sicknesses normally come with these sorts of things. The things that are here are fine. Kids below 10 will enjoy it for a couple of hours but anyone older is likely to not find much value (the entry fee is steep for what you get). There’s even a sort of season pass but I can’t imagine anyone would leave anything un-accomplished here after a single visit. Overall, it’s fine enough for a single visit. They’re smart to have the exit through the gift shop because, after you’ve paid for the playing, you get to have your littles asking for sets to bring home. If this sounds cynical, it’s because it is. It’s the same as any visit to any other kid-focused thing. If you’re only here once and your kids are young, it’s a good-but-not-great way to kill an hour or two.

    We stopped here on accident but glad we did. This was a fun little destination with some cute fun rides and things for the kids. We did the treasure hunt package, which I would not recommend, as the kids get way to occupied on a busy day to focus on things and rules of the games.

    The trip here would have been better if the rides were all operational and to be honest they could offer more things for the kids. Over all it was a good trip and the kids and ourselves had fun. The Lego shop was by far the best part and the staff was very friendly.

    Not worth the money!!! It is not well maintained. Many of the things were broken, it has lost a lot of it's charm compared to when I went 3 years ago. Do not go on a weekend, it was so packed you couldn't even walk through. The only thing we were able to do while there was the 4-D cinema and we didn't get the full experience because half of the special effect items were not working. My niece was so excited to go there again but was greatly disappointed and asked to leave within 35 minutes, 15 of those minutes we waited in line for the cinema and 15 more was spent inside the cinema. It was overwhelming, too many people inside to enjoy it. We did walk into the "mini" room but there were so many people in there you couldn't walk through it without getting bumped into. Someone needs to fix the interactive buttons a lot of the "push button" features no longer work. Just a huge disappointment.

    Catered to smaller kids (10 and younger I would say). This place is very crowded be prepared to wait a bit before playing with Legos. My kids were at the top end of what I would say would enjoy the place...the one ride and the areas to build are more for the younger side of kids. But the atmosphere was fun, the workers were friendly and everything was clean considering kids were touching everything constantly. The gift shop had some fun lego kits be warned you'll want to spend some money there.

    LegoLand in KC was a unique experience. The 3D show was awesome and kids enjoyed the virtual video game. I think it's a bit pricey for all that is offered. Overall it was a nice change of pace for the kiddo's and I'd recommend.

    Great place for all ages. They have smaller rides, shows, food & drinks, challenges, building stations, and of course Legos. They had Legos of all kinds. The employees here were better than Chick-Fil-A employees. Every employee had a very strong personality that shined through their work employee character. More businesses should strive to have Legoland employees. They were all kind and seemed to all love their job. They put the same magic in Legoland that Disney employees put into Disney world. Will definitely be visiting again.

    Lots of fun activities! Not enough Lego of the appropriate type to complete the activities at each station. Better signage would be helpful as well. Somewhat unorganized. Give yourself at least 2-3 hours if you want to visit each activity station/ride.

    The kids had fun. On the side of lego land, probably make sure there is always more legos for the kids to make their race cars. Would of been cool to be able to touch more things on the sea life side. I did not think the price was worth it honestly.

    Staff was friendly and courteous. Fun 4D short films. It's pretty incredible to see some of the displays, but that doesn't hold my children's attention to make it worth it. Not sure why they recommend purchasing tickets online, you still have to wait in line for parking validation and to have your ticket scanned. It's overpriced for what it offers when you have to purchase tickets for adults as well.

    Fun times had by kids and adults! Definitely spent 2 hours there easily, playing the games and building Legos. Such a fun and busy environment with plenty to do. Build race cars, play on jungle gyms, watch a 4D movie, Virtual Reality ride and more.

    My husband, daughter and I took my 5 and 9 your old grandchildren. The wizard ride hydraulics were broken. It did not go up and down. The cafe was closed. The 3D movie was not 3D. The climbing Wall was closed. The kids were bored after 2 hours. It was a very expensive morning.

    This was well worth the price. I am from North Carolina, and brought 2 grandkids with me. I went to LEGO Land with one of my daughters, her son and 4 of my other grandsons. The age range was 9 to 14. All enjoyed themselves. A little setback because they didn’t have one of the major attractions (a ride). But they were able to make a souvenir band and all liked it. The event was called Dots and the staff was kind and customer friendly. They took great care of the kids and their project. The cafe staff (at Starbucks) was awesome too. Very patient and professional luv their customer service too. Thank you for making the visit a positive memory with a souvenir!

    This place is strictly for kids. The rides were cute but short and there's a line. Kind of like any other theme park except Legoland is inside. There's very few places to sit. It was cool because everything is made of Lego's

  • 4/5 Tehra G. 1 year ago on Google
    The kids did have fun. There is a small jungle gym and toddler play area and we enjoyed building race cars. There was no direction or attendants in building areas.. Aimed more for tweens, less for ages 3yo-6yo as I came with.

  • 4/5 Amanda C. 2 years ago on Google
    I had so much fun here with my kids. There is a little something for everyone who loves Lego. Tons of hands on building and activities. My kids especially liked the car building and the stop motion stations. Their gift shop was also great and my kids were able to make their own minifigs although the minifigs building area was kinda chaotic and kinda limited There are two rides. One of which was kinda disappointing because a couple the laser "guns" to shoot the bad guys didn't work. This one also had a fairly long wait considering how short the ride was. Over all, I would definitely go again.

    I was apprehensive at first. It is a little pricey! We took my 2 year old and my 5 year old. I thought it might be a disaster for my youngest, BUT he LOVED it! We built cars and towers, made pizzas, and checked out Kansas City in lego form! My oldest loved the rides and punching her activity card to earn her take home lego set at the end (worth the extra $7 if you want a souvenir that isn't a big expensive set!). Definitely do this as an add on to the Sea Life Aquarium next door!

    1st time here! We drove 5 hours to take our 3 year old here. He loves legos! We came on a Saturday morning around 930 am and could of stayed all day if it was up to him, lol. The only problem we had was the parking garage by Legoland. There was no signs telling where to go. We had to ask other customers and then finally found an employee setting up an event around there where to go. It started to get busy around 11 am. Cash isn't excepted, only credit or debit cards only. We didn't have any problems during our visit. All rides were open and running. We didn't have to wait long for anything. ---- Now in the gift shop we got charged twice for our items, but its still in pending status so hopefully this comes off when it does post. We did buy drinks, add ons when we arrived at the front desk, and snacks and wasn't double charged so not sure what happened there.

    Its a great place to spend some quality time. Even though it is smaller in size every section you will be engaged. I have visited with my 3year old, he felt bored at building of legos but remaining musical games, kids playzone, train ride and other ride on's made him happy. I am very much impressed with the displays of Kansas city built with Legos particularly Unioun Station and Museum buildings. I felt the Lego Shop is resonable too. We have purchased a combo ticket for Legoland Discovery Center and SeaLife Kansas, half day each and one full day is sufficient for both.

  • 5/5 Tana S. 5 months ago on Google • 63 reviews
    This is for smaller children and avid Lego builders. It has a play gym, a theatre, a cafe, and a small carnival ride. I took my 8 year old and he did have fun for about an hour and a half. Very safe and clean

  • 3/5 Abby J. 1 year ago on Google
    I went with family - we brought children ages 5, 6, 7 & 10. The kids all enjoyed the experience. I would plan 2-4 hours depending on your children’s attention span and interest in Legos. Lots to see and some impressive Lego creations. Kids really enjoyed the 4D movies (included with admission) as well as the two rides also included with admission. They loved bouncing from one area to the next. Tips: You can park in the Crown Plaza parking for free, just remember to ask to get your parking validated. This saved us $25ish. Book ahead of time as they do limit the number of people allowed in each 30 minutes. We purchased the Legoland/Sea Life ticket combo. More reasonable than purchasing separately. They are located next door to each other. Final Thoughts: As an adult, I knew the cost of the tickets & we drove 5+ hours hoping this would be a big highlight of vacation. The building stations only contained basic Legos. The staff was friendly enough, but no one stood out as exceptional. Only one of the rides was open at a time and 2/5 lasers on one car were not working properly. The employees didn’t seem concerned. The jump through laser exhibit didn’t have the fog working. There were multiple other areas not properly working or that lacked enough Legos. The door on the theater wouldn’t open causing a delay in the show starting and the 4D glasses were cheaply made, so lower quality. The gift shop had just gone through renovations, so numerous items had no prices on them. In conclusion, it was a pleasant experience, but not amazing. My kids enjoyed it, but once is enough.

    We've come from out of town several times just for Legoland Discovery Center. Very fun for our little kids and they usually want to do 1 or 2 days. It's only an 8 hour drive and for a long weekend that's worth it for us. We had a great time building with you!

    Was super awesome to visit here. Great for kids. 2 rides, both were fun and a cinema experience. The cinema was a 3D movie with different interactive elements such as air blowing to parts in the film. Lots of different and fun stations for kids. Legoland also will cover your parking by giving you a validation ticket!

    A great place to take your family for a fun and memorable time. They packed a ton into the space, and it’s non stop fun for the little people. Not a lot of food options, so bring your own if you have allergies to hot dogs or nachos.

  • 5/5 Masterjedihudak 1 year ago on Google
    Family had a good time here. Lots of fun activities for the kids and adults. I built a Formula 1 car that I thought was pretty cool. Race tracks for cars that were built there. Large indoor playground was fun. Minitown build of KS was really cool withadded Wizard of Oz editions throughout. Snack shop provided drinks and snacks. Bathrooms were unique and clean. Staff was hit and miss some people were awesome and some people were not so awesome. Gift shop was cool as it had a unique pick a brick wall and some retired sets throughout some themes. Very large collection of poly bags to choose from. This is not ran by Lego so no VIP Point usage or collecting here, but VIP card yields a instant 5% discount. Upon 100% completion of activity lanyard we received a bag of parts to build our own robot. Other Discovery Centers have yielded pop badges for completion.

    For 42 dollars per person is kind of pricey but if you want to see your child disconnect from everyday life, see other kids and have fun with kid stuff then it's kinda worth it. A kid would be equally content at a free park though. I think the pictures make for better memories for the child, make sure you do that for your kiddos at leolgoland.

    Loved it! Took my 7 yr old granddaughter there & I got to admit , I was very impressed with all of the strange looking & beautiful sea creatures that they have on display. We were even able to touch some Starfish! My favorite are the Seahorses! So cute & playful! Definitely going to recommend it to everyone

    We enjoyed our visit. All of the kids in our group liked building their own structures. The adults enjoyed the Lego Kansas City display. Our younger kids liked the play structure too. It was a little crowded at first but died down in the early afternoon.

    This is our 2nd legoland we’ve been too and they are each unique and fun. Great for all ages, my 2yo and 8yo had so much fun! Loved the art gallery wall

  • 4/5 Nicole B. 1 month ago on Google • 36 reviews New
    My kids LOVED everything about Legoland. The things to play and assemble kept hem entertained. I've been when it was super crowded and when slightly empty. Both times the kids had a blast. Both times I felt like there should be a tad bit more inside for the cost.

  • 4/5 ling f. 3 months ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    Kids had fun. Minus a star because this center is very small. It took us 2 hours to see everything here. We came on a workday morning and there is no wait and no crowd. I had to hold my 3 months old baby and couldn’t get on the ride with my older two kids. the staff is very nice to ride with them so the kids could go on both the rides.

  • 5/5 Shelly C. 6 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    We took my granddaughter here as part of a girls weekend spent in Kansas City. She had a great time playing and even made a couple of new friends. This place is laid out great for kids with lots of activities and things to do. A really nice gift shop is available for purchasing Legos, and other toys and souvenirs. It’s worth spending a little extra money to visit the aquarium attached to Legoland. If you have the time I would recommend doing both.

  • 5/5 Deanna P. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is amazing, if we lived close by we'd come here all the time. Yes there are things inside that cost additional money (we didn't do any of those things). We got there just before 3, Starbucks closed at 3 so we missed out, and a ride closed at 4 so we missed that one also. My 5 year old (and husband) had a blast. They had a little pizza shop where you can build a lego pizza, build a car and race it and then try sending it down one of the jump ramps, design a Lego square for the Lego wall, an indoor play area with duplo Legos as well as giant Lego (and they had a lot of giant Legos, we built a tower, another group was building a house and there were still a lot over in the corner not being used), some rides, a mini lego town that changes from day to night, and some ninja courses with lasers and a different one that wasn't working. Yes you are paying money to come and play with Legos, but they have SO many different pieces that we don't have at home, and it is about building your own creations. We had a blast and will definitely come back if we pass through town again. The Lego store had Lego sets that were sold out online and we hadn't been able to find in stores which was awesome.

  • 5/5 michael m. 8 months ago on Google
    Our boys 1 and 3 had so much fun here! My 3 year old just asked to go back the very next day. Highly recommend for the whole family!

  • 5/5 Caleb C. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing day with the family. We loved all the attractions they had. My kiddo loved all the Lego displays. We'll definitely be back in the future for another visit. My child loved the Lego tunnels/ play area. He was having a blast running through the play equipment. We really enjoyed buildings with Lego at a few of the interactive areas. We also enjoyed the ride!

  • 5/5 Stacy T. 1 year ago on Google
    We were a group of 5 from ages 7-46 and we all had a blast! From hands on building and creating, watching master builders, seeing amazing structures, and fun rides. There is something for everyone.

  • 5/5 Robin Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a fun time! Get the combo tickets the aquarium is amazing! Small space but lots of things to do and look at. My kids enjoyed the rides.

  • 2/5 J. M. 3 months ago on Google New
    I paid for our tickets in advance online, I think it was like 40$ for two adults. Unfortunately you have to have kids under 12 to get in. Me and my boyfriend are huge Lego fans but the staff wouldn't let us in. Really disappointed, I was so excited to check this place out. They refunded our 40$ and let us into the aquarium for free. As cool as the aquarium was, I was still pretty disappointed. It doesn't say anywhere on the website that you have to have kids to get it. I understand I guess.

  • 4/5 Barry C. 8 months ago on Google
    Kiddo had fun. The place needs a little TLC but I guess that's to be expected when a bunch of kids are playing on everything. Parking was free with validation.

  • 5/5 Jordon F. 1 month ago on Google • 22 reviews New
    Had a great time exploring and interacting with all the displays. Staff was really friendly and helpful. It was a bit pricey but worth experiencing at least once when your in KC

  • 5/5 Chelsea W. 2 years ago on Google
    This was truly one of the funnest things we have done. There is so much to see and tons of activities for the kids (and grownups). I would give this 6⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if it were possible. We definitely recommend making it to LEGOLAND!!

  • 5/5 Michael M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool place! We drove 3 hours to get there. Well worth the drive. Spent too much at the Lego store!
