A few weeks ago, my 6-year-old and I finally checked out Legoland Discovery Centre Toronto, and let me tell you — for my little Lego-lover, this place was absolute magic.
From the moment we walked in, his eyes were HUGE. You could practically feel the excitement buzzing off him! Bright colors, giant Lego models, and super friendly staff immediately set the tone for a fun, kid-focused adventure.
We kicked things off in a room that showed how Lego is made. I loved that it was educational, but my son barely noticed because he was having so much fun exploring everything.
Next up was Kingdom Quest, a little laser-shooting dark ride where we had to “save the princess.” He loved it so much he insisted we go twice. Watching him giggle as he aimed his laser made me grin too.
Then came Mini Land, which honestly blew me away — even as an adult. It’s a mini Toronto made entirely out of Lego bricks: CN Tower, Rogers Centre, downtown skyline — the works. My son kept pressing all the buttons that make different scenes move or light up. I loved watching him point out landmarks he recognized, and us showing him areas we’ll actually be visiting someday.
After exploring Mini Land, we hit the Build & Test Zone. If your kid likes building and racing things (and let’s be honest, what kid doesn’t?), this is the place. My son built probably 10 different cars, trying to make “the fastest one ever” for the racetrack. Simple activity, but honestly one of the best parts of our day.
The 4D cinema was a fun surprise. They had four different short films that played every 30 minutes — perfect for keeping little attention spans happy. The wind and water effects had my son cracking up, especially when he got “sprayed” during the Lego storm scene.
We also spent time in the soft block area, where he could build large-scale versions of things he’s already built at home, and the Duplo area for toddlers (which some biggerskids were loving). I really appreciated that everything is divided into zones — it keeps everyone happy and prevents sensory overload.
Things to Know Before You Go
It can get busy, especially at peak times. Going early on a Friday helped us avoid some of the crowds.
Expect to spend 2–3 hours there, depending on your child’s pace — we stayed almost all day because he was having that much fun.
Adults must be accompanied by a child, so it’s very much a kid-first experience.
You can’t bring in food or drinks, but we brought a water bottle with no issues. There’s also a café with reasonably priced options if you need a snack.
Legoland Discovery Centre Toronto isn’t a full-day theme park, but for a half-day (or even most of a day) adventure with kids in the 4–8 range, it’s fantastic. My son was smiling the entire time, and honestly, that’s the review that matters most.
We left with a small Lego set (of course we did), tired legs, and happy hearts. If you’re looking for a hands-on, imagination-fueled outing for your little one, this place is definitely worth hopping into on your next weekend adventure.
Until next time, keep hopping toward fun adventures — and may your days be filled with laughter, Lego, and a little bit of magic!
