    We had an amazing time here today! My kids 5 and 10 were able to play for over 2 hours and we could have stayed longer!

    We loved the LEGO Discovery center. My little one fell asleep (she's 4 months) so this definitely was a trip for adults. We really enjoyed the games and trying to out score each other on the blast game. We each got a mini fig and it was neat to be able to trade them with the staff. If you like Legos and are in the Columbus area I definitely recommend this activity center.

    Came to this discovery center for my toddlers 4th bday weekend. This is a perfect place for those under 8 years old. It's small and easy to keep track of your family. It's stroller friendly and located inside the mall. Parking is a breeze in the garage. Lots of free activities to do once you get inside. My son loved the building your own cars and racing them down the ramp. Super clean and a lot of staff were present to assist. The toddler area with a small playhouse was well kept and had a soft surface like at many parks. It was a good place for my infant to play. Gift shop prices were about average with the general stores we shop at. They are cashless! Overall it's worth the cost of the tickets (check a local city guide for discount :)) If you're expecting a large amount of time in here and your kids are older than 8, you should pass. My toddler was good with 2.75 hours and still wanted to stay. We missed the cafe being open by a few hours. They had what looked like great deals on kids food and snacks. Much healthier than the food court.

    I'm updating my last review. We did end up coming back because T-Mobile offered half-priced tickets. That is pretty much the only way I'd go back again. It's still super overpriced for what you get. My kids (9 & 6) had fun especially my 6 year old. They both enjoyed the rides. We went on a Sunday morning so it wasn't very busy, which made us be able to ride the rides a few times. The Lego Friends area is still really nice. My daughter liked that. She also loved the addition of getting to make a Lego Dot bracelet. The car area could be really great, but there are still never enough pieces to make a car that works. Also if you are going to have suggestions on what to build it would be good to spend the time putting the correct pieces back otherwise the suggestions are kinda pointless. My son also enjoyed the movie. Good place for younger kids, but my 9 year old was bored after about 90 minutes. Overall it's just expensive for what you get. You are essentially paying for the name. They could easily cut the regular price down by a lot and make it better for everyday people.

    They wore their masks correctly, A+. I take my God son here for special occasions like his birthday and then I spend too much on a set of legos and we build those at home. It's a full day. During not pandemic times it is different with some snack offerings and more people. During the pandemic they have great things going on. They're masked up, people are cleaning stuff constantly, and your kid plays with a bag of Legos that is theirs to use during the visit. These legos are clean and when you're done they clean them again. There are also rides and G man really enjoys them.

    On the pricey side but super impressive and worth checking out at least once in my opinion. The hours flew by taking my little niece and nephew here. There are so many unique and interactive experiences. Well designed and memorable. Highlights included the Merlin flying pedal carts, the creative workshop, incredibly detailed miniature town, and the 4D movie theater (I won't spoil the elements that make it 4 dimensions). As a whole, the employees were friendly and working very hard.

    We'd heard a lot of mixed reviews about it, so I read through the website pretty thoroughly before making the decision to go. Between knowing what to expect (as stated on the website, this is an indoor playground for ages 3-10, and adults must have a child 17 or younger with them to enter) and getting a coupon for half price tickets, we felt ready for a good visit. We purchased timed tickets online in advance. They have a bunch of different add-on options, but we just went with standard tickets, which are pretty pricey at full price. There was still a short wait in line to enter, even with tickets in hand, but once inside, the kid was beyond excited. It starts with a Lego Factory tour, which is a short interactive video. The door than opens on one of two rides, the Kingdom Quest, which lets riders save the day by blasting different bad guys and critters. This was a big hit with the kids in the group, and we ended up on this ride several times. It was then downstairs to Miniland, which is captivating for anyone who likes to check out impressive builds. There is a large Columbus section in the center, with Cincinnati and Cleveland each getting space along the side of the room, and a small section for Ohio State. The kid loves seeing builds like this, and we came through here several times, as well. The final room is a very large space where there are a variety of hands-on building areas, including one for 2-5 year olds, a Lego Friends area, and a build and test area. The second ride is also in this room, Merlin's Apprentice Ride, which brings you around in a circle and you pedal (or not) to adjust how high you "fly" in the sky. This was another huge hit with the kid. In the far back are a climbing gym/play area and the 4D theater. The 4D theater is nicely designed and a friendly employee hands out clean 3D glasses as you enter. There were four different 15-ish minute movies playing on the day of our visit, and a sign indicated the times for each (since there is only one theater). The "4D" aspect is the addition of steam/smoke, sprays of water, wind, etc. during relevant moments of the movies. The movies hit many of the major Lego franchises - Lego Movie, Ninjago, Nexo Knights, and Lego City. The end of the journey is, of course, in the Lego shop. All in all, we spent nearly 3 hours in the Discovery Center, and the kid asked to come back the next day, so it was a big hit for us. The staff were all friendly. We were able to get parking in the nearby West Garage, which made for an easy in and out from Legoland.

    Overall, I would give this place between a 3 & 3.5. I purchased tickets and then read the reviews. To be quite honest, I was skeptical on everything. However, some of the stuff wasn't too bad. Parking in the west garage is perfect because we walked up a flight of stairs and it was right there. The tickets were $25 each, which cost me a little over $100. I think the prices for the tickets are a bit of a reach considering the parents don't really do anything. There's also not a whole lot to do in my opinion. We got there around 11:15 and waited in a long line even though we purchased tickets ahead of time (some people just walked in). The staff at the front was incredibly friendly. The girl who waited on us was SO nice and got my boys pumped up. When you first enter, they give you a QR code and you can take however many pictures you want. We waited in a line to be sent in to do some "interactive" thing. My kids are 5 & 8 and didn't seem overly thrilled. Then we went to the ride part. 3 of the 4 shooters worked, but mine did not. It wasn't very long, but the kids enjoyed it. When we finished up, we went into the room where there were a few different activities. There is a large playground jungle gym area. There's a ride but we couldn't use it right away, because no one was there to operate it. We did watch a 4D movie which was enjoyable. There's a few tables where you can build different things. There is a small area for kids ages 2-5. There was also a build and test area, which wasn't too bad. The shop area was nice and not overpriced. The prices were the same that you would find at Target. My husband had to go and find someone so we could make a purchase. She wasn't overly friendly and it was almost like a burden purchasing an item. Overall, it wasn't "bad" but we only spent about an hour and a half there. It started to get full halfway through. I would say go but don't set your expectations high.

    It is a pretty good experience although there are limited rides, it is still good. They didn't have the Lego passports though.

But, friend, I warn you now, there's no such thing here anymore. The water doesn't flow anymore, or maybe only for a little bit, because the pools of water are stagnant putrid ponds filled with scum and garbage. The course is falling apart, but not in a charming way, we lost our balls more than once. The steps are crumbling and dangerous, and if you play at night (they are open until 9 or 10 pm most nights) it's basically lit by the street lights of the nearby highway. Good luck finding a toilet that someone else couldn't quite figure out so they just pooped on the rim of the toilet seat. And there's solicitation on the regular I was approached several times to buy a cd for some rap group. A CD?!? In 2025? Get on Spotify like a normal sell out. The place smells like of mixed cinnamon with ammonia. So be wary, fellow traveler, mini golf holds a special place in my heart. But it's places like this that turn that place in my heart to a clogged ventricle and leads to collapse. Demand at least subpar standards from your mini golf, people, this is America, dammit. Instead of spending a night a magic mountain, it's more like spending a night bald mountain.

We…read moredidn't visit the water park, so I can't comment on that portion of the attraction, but the zoo itself was one of the highlights of our trip. Admission and parking were definitely on the expensive side, and we initially questioned the cost. However, once we got inside, it quickly became clear that the experience justified the price. This is an exceptional zoo with beautifully designed exhibits, an incredible variety of animals, and excellent viewing opportunities throughout the park. One thing we especially appreciated was the food selection. There were several good dining options, and a special shout-out goes to the restaurant near the Savanna exhibit for serving fresh watermelon slices--a perfect treat on a warm day. The zoo also features small playgrounds scattered throughout the grounds, interactive learning experiences for children, and even a small aquarium, which was a pleasant surprise. There's so much to see that you could easily spend two full days here if you wanted to explore everything at a relaxed pace. The only areas that gave us pause were the penguin and tiger habitats. We felt the penguins would benefit from a larger, more enriching environment. The tigers also seemed eager for additional stimulation--they repeatedly ran alongside the glass as our kids moved, almost as if they wanted to play. While it was fascinating to watch, it also made us wonder if additional enrichment opportunities would be beneficial. Overall, this is a spectacular zoo and one of the best we've visited. The thoughtfully designed exhibits, wide variety of animals, family-friendly amenities, and engaging experiences make it well worth a visit. If you're traveling through the area, this is an attraction we would highly recommend.

As a father of one autistic child and grandfather of another, it's disgusting to realize their employees have no training for special needs children, and they can be downright verbally and actionably abusive against these children.

My most significant gripe is that arcade machines don't seem very well maintained. There have been times I've gone to this place where 25-50% of the games weren't working.
