    Mini land!
    Nina A.

    We went to check out the Legoland Discovery Center. I took my 7 and 10 year old. We got inside and were instructed to go to the 4th floor. There is a ride when you first enter, but one of the workers told us, since the line was long.. she recommended coming back and doing other things first so we weren't waiting in line. You enter through mini land, which was pretty amazing! Lots of sights to see. My boys enjoyed that.. onto the main floor.. there is another ride.. a 4D cinema (it rains) .. a cafe.. VR (extra $) .. a build workshop.. a play area and lots of different LEGO play sections. My boys were entertained! The food at the cafe was just okay.. very much kid sized .. and options were slim. But all good for kids. I didn't try the coffee. Overall we had a fun experience.. maybe 2-3 hrs at the most and then they started getting bored! We purchased off Groupon so it was a score!

    For about $20 a ticket, my kids had a blast for over 4 hours. They built stuff with Legos, watched a couple of the 4D film shorts, raced Lego cars, marveled at the Lego models of San Antonio buildings, played on the play structure, and had such a fantastic time. Be sure to bring socks for the play structure (though if you forget they're only $1 at the cafe). Also a pleasant surprise - coffee and cookies were reasonable price for an amusement center.

    If you're in town, you can just bring your kids to LEGOLAND. Kids really enjoy spending time there on their own. The price could be a little cheaper for the entertainment provided. Anyway, it's all for the kids -- if they enjoy it, that's enough for the parents.

    I don't think the price is worth the experience but I do think it's a cool concept that included a small ride. I wish it was a little bit more interactive with more planned activities for building things. This seems to be a place for smaller kids like toddlers rather than young kids (8+). Some other displays were not working (buttons) and I feel like the $7.00 activity pack was a waste of money. The actual demos were pretty cool. I also appreciate it the fact that they provide complementary or discounted parking.

    Totally fun time at Lego Discovery Center today. We bought tickets ahead of time online. We were able to book a time of our liking and arrived with plenty of time to enjoy the space and all the Legos we wanted. It's not The first attraction is a ride, where you have to shoot your way through to find and save a baby dragon. Then you will head through Lego Master Kevin's 1.5million piece rendition of the city. It is a really amazing likeness of your favorite Downtown location. We also opted for the $8 activity book, which gives the Discovery Center rooms a purpose. The kids can complete tasks and stamp their progress. If you get hungry there's an in house cafe that serves sandwiches and Starbucks. There is another ride called Merlin's Adventure, teo playgrounds (one for little kids and and one for little kids). Every other hour there's a Lego Expert led Creative Workshop. Violet was super patient with my kiddos. They would regularly ask her about the Legos around the Discovery Center. She was awesome and taught us names for the weird shapes like BURP and SNOT. The one thing we missed was the 4D Lego Experience, but the kids were stoked about coming back...so, for next time. It was a fun time for Lego builders if all ages. We would go again.

    It was really small but it was lots of fun my baby boy loved it and keeps asking to go back so we most likely will.

    Do you have little ones? Toddlers, maybe young kids ages 5-9? This place may be the outing you need in order to burn off their energy but also challenge their creative minds. Located inside of the Rivercenter Mall Shops (along Riverwalk), it's easy to find if you are parking in the garage. Parking costs $15 for up to 4 hours, which I think is sufficient time for this discovery center. The SeaLife Aquarium is right next to Legoland and combo tickets can be purchased for quite a nice discount. I wouldn't recommend taking kiddos less than 1 to Legoland discovery center because I'm really unsure of what they could do. Inside, there are a few rides which was kinda cool because of how limited the space seemed. They have a car building station, a few places where kiddos can sit and adults can watch their imagination unfold, and even an indoor playground (one for older kiddos and one for toddlers). There is a plethora of figurines which leave you in AWE because of how detailed they are. You could purchase an annual pass if you have the type of kid who would do this thing daily, but for us, we will have to wait a while. Oooo and for us adults, there is a coffee shop inside! So don't fret if your child doesn't want to leave.

    Ann P.

    Kept the kids entertained for several hours. The combo ticket w SeaLife is worth it IMO. Some cool things but a tad underwhelming. The 4d movie was terrible, not sure why it's advertised as 4D and the Dreams movie they just started playing wasn't great (no story at all, very little dialogue). Some water sprays which was fun for the kids tho. Good way to spend the morning in San Antonio to escape this scorching heat.

    We decided to make an afternoon at Legoland discovery on our recent San Antonio trip. It is in the the shopping mall situated on the riverwalk and although a bit of a trek, it was still in walking distance, even for our 4 year old. They do have a pretty cool setup here where I think there is enough variability where this place has just about everything for all ages of kids. You can choose to partake in the activity pack which will allow your little one to track their progress at all the stops, a bit of a treasure hunt. Your first stop is a bit of an amusement park ride - where you shoot at lego targets, similar to interactive rides at entertainment parks. After the first ride you get to walk through the display area to see a lego San Antonio, Alamo and flowing Riverwalk and all. Once in the main area - they have 8-10 other stations that all have a theme as well as a different level of complexity, really cool! It kept our little one busy and was entertaining for us adults as well. All in all, it was a great way to spend a hot summer afternoon and we are excited to check out the discover center up our way when our little one needs his next lego fix.

    This was our second time to visit Legoland. It's really best for kids under 12. What surprised me about this place is that it's not actually a theme park, which is what I had expected. It's more like an indoor play place. It's located inside River Center Mall which has access to the Riverwalk, so that's nice. It's really not the kind of place you could spend all day at unless you're really trying to. There are two rides and a Virtual Reality ride you can purchase for an extra charge. There is an indoor play scape that the kids really love, and a cafe that I would honestly skip unless you're starving. We ate right before we came and planned to eat lunch here, which we did, but it was pretty disappointing, mostly snack bar food and kid food although there is coffee, and there are plenty of options for little kids and some allergen conscious food options, so I appreciated that. The 4d movie could probably use some repairs, the fans just blew the entire time which made it cold, and the water jets only sprayed certain seats and dropped between scenes so depending on where you sit you could come out completely dry or drenched. I think they might be suffering the same staffing shortages as many businesses because it was kind of a mess, there was no soap in any of the bathrooms and overflowing trash cans, and the only employees I saw were stationed at rides or attractions, so there wasn't really anyone to talk to if you had questions or issues. I will say miniland was really cool, and my kids really enjoyed Legol overall.

    Went with my friends to take their kids to this Discovery Center and I must say it's a tad confusing for those if its their first time. Upon arrival it's a bit chaotic as they try to push you to purchase their bundles to enjoy LEGOLAND and Sea Life. Once you pay and take the elevators up you'll be ushered into a line to take group photos (don't worry you can pay $$$ to get a copy as you leave for the day) and then you're ushered into another line. I kinda wish there was signage to inform you the very first ride was optional and that you can actually move forward without it. The way the layout is set leads you to think it's a must. The main area is what the kids go crazy for as that's where you can build models and enjoy the discovery center. I did enjoy the lego replica of the city though which had a daytime and nighttime feature.

    Matt G.

    Wouldn't recommend. 100 bucks for 3 people to really just go look at Lego sculptures, which is only 1 room. They have time slots to go in but NO organization on how long people from previous time slots can go in. So even though your time slot may be 15 people, there is 100+ more waiting for you upstairs and you aren't able to do anything. Too many people. Not worth the money unless your time slot #1. Don't do it. Save your money unless they reorganize their processes.

    I was quite surprised at how much there really is to do here. I was a bit skeptical based on the other reviews I'd seen and thought this could be a bust but I needed to entertain two kids (2&4) with something to do. There was a really cool exhibit to start the experience where you could see Lego San Antonio. There were neat little references to the city and some parts were even interactive and the legos would move around. After the exhibit area was the interactive section. There was a car building and racing section, some duplo legos to play with, a Lego friends section, and a Lego dots to make decorative pieces for the wall. We also got to experience the rides and the movie. The movie was a 4d experience. It was a bit wetter than I had expected but the kids enjoyed it. The rides were a shooting experience with laser guns and a merry go round style spinning ride. The shooting one was fun and we did it a few times! Before we left we got to participate in a workshop where the kids could learn to make an item in an instructor led activity. It was about 20 minutes long and we made an ornament. We thought you might be able to keep what you made but this was not the case. All in all, its only about 1-2 hours of activity but the kids throughly enjoyed themselves and I think we did everything we possibly could during that time. P.s. if you like legos, across from the Alamo is a Lego build of the Alamo with the battle taking place.

    Do you get physical membership cards?

    How is the parking?

    There isn't separate parking for this. It's in the RiverCenter, the mall at the Riverwalk. There is a garage and there are outdoor parking lots nearby.

    Is this inside of the mall?

    Yes - near the Starbucks

From the moment we arrived, it was clear this park wasn't just accommodating -- it was built with everyone in mind. They've gone above and beyond offering waterproof wheelchairs at the splash pad water park, so no one misses out on the fun. The zip line experience is exhilarating and inclusive.

The playgrounds are thoughtfully designed for accessibility without losing any of the excitement. Smooth, wide pathways, sensory-friendly areas, and equipment that accommodates kids of all abilities mean everyone can play together, not apart.

The exhibits: wow, SO much variety! It's basically 2 stories, downstairs is the main floor area, and options! When you first enter, there's giant toy puzzles shaped as gears, then another room that takes you to a full on pretend city arena where there's little tykes cars for these kids to drive around in this pretend city, a HEB store front, airplane simulation, trolley, car wash, vet office, etc. so fun for these kids! Then another room where there's instruments like a giant piano and other fun things for kids to explore. Outside, there are 2 areas, one is a bubble play area to explore ways to play with bubbles in SO many different ways. Another outside area, playground with a giant slide, water play area with boats and things that you can imagine with water. For over stimulated kiddos, there's a room downstairs that's called a "calming room" where it's much quieter than out in the open if you need time to decompress from the chaos. Upstairs, there's a pretend to play with tools and right next to it and where you can assemble flowers. Now food wise, there's a Café Bakery Lorraine downstairs which include their macaroons, sandwiches, snack platter, crossiants, etc. It's a little pricey, but at least it's good!

It is a bit run down in places but I'm certain the animals don't mind! 5. When you arrive enter on the left side of the farm if you are looking at it from the road. Google will direct you incorrectly to the right side of the property but since it's a small farm not such a big deal!

    We visited in March 2024 and we had an incredible time here! We came when they opened on a weekday…read moreand the owner was still opening up. What a hardworking person she is, taking care of the animals and making sure they're all okay. She said we can call her Cowgrammy. It seems like a really tough job taking care of the animals and it costs a lot of money, so we were happy to add onto her reasonable prices with a nice donation. You know it's going to help support the animals and keep them happy! This one of of the favorite things in our whole trip to San Antonio for our 5 year old daughter. She got to feed the animals and she rode a pony, that's pretty much top tier entertainment for a 5 year old. Excellent excellent excellent, support this place as much as you can!
