Before You Go

For more than 80 years, Lego has established itself as one of the most recognizable and popular toys around the world. The iconic plastic bricks, which get their name from a Danish phrase meaning “play well,” now take center stage at one of Kansas City’s greatest new attractions, Legoland. Located in the heart of Crown Center, this hands-on discovery center boasts hours of fun, thrills and adventure sure to please every member of the family. Tickets, meals and activity packs can be purchased in advance online (and at a discount!). Be sure to pack socks for the kiddos—the Lego City Play Zone requires them!

While You’re There

Learn how raw plastic is transformed into bricks at the Lego Factory and then hop aboard a chariot to rescue the princess in the thrilling laser game Kingdom Quest. Preschool Lego enthusiasts will delight in Duplo Village, while aspiring young divas can showcase their skills on the Friends’ karaoke stage. Put your brick creations to the test at the Build & Test site and earthquake tables, catch a 4D movie (complete with wind and snow!), beef up your building skills at the Master Builder Academy and marvel at Miniland, a complete Lego duplication highlighting some of Kansas City’s most amazing landscapes.

After You’ve Gone

Admission is good for a full day. If you need to leave early, make sure to keep your ticket with you and have your hand stamped at the admissions desk for later return. The Lego Ideas Book makes a great gift (and is available at the gift shop) for Lego enthusiasts hoping to grow their skills at home, or you can check your local library calendar to find the Lego club nearest you.
