There is so much to love about LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Atlanta. Families can spend hours building LEGO creations, riding on fun rides and checking out what the masters can produce out of tiny, plastic bricks.

Large-Scale Models

Kids will love seeing the huge builds made entirely out of LEGOs, and maybe even get inspired to build their own. Giant buildings, cars, LEGO people and more are easy to spot while walking from the different themed areas. A favorite is MINILAND, a replica of the city with moving cars and trains, made from nearly 1.5 million LEGO bricks.

LEGO Rides and Exhibits

Several themed areas bring you back to medieval times or into space. Kingdom Quest lets you experience a virtual LEGO world–riders hop aboard the chariot and rescue a princess. In the new Space Mission, kids can build a spaceship, explore alien LEGO worlds and watch a LEGO rocket blast off. Merlin’s Apprentice ride and Pirate Adventure Island are also fun stops.

Hands-On LEGO Builds

There are so many opportunities to dig your hands into some LEGOs, from build-and-race cars down large ramps to bins full of colorful pieces. The Earthquake tables allow kids to construct buildings out of LEGOs and see how they withstand against a natural disaster. The DUPLO village is great for ages 2-5, with larger bricks to hold.

LEGO 4D Cinema

LEGO movies are a lot more fun when shown in a 4D theatre. Kids will love seeing the characters so close to them, and feeling the wind, rain and snow effects. Movies alternate between Spellbreaker, CHIMA, Clutchpowers, LEGO NEXO Knights 4D: The Book of Creativity and The LEGO Movie 4D A New Adventure.

Seasonal Events

Throughout the year, LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta hosts special events fun for the entire family. LEGO movie days, such as Ninjago or Star Wars, include character meet-and-greets, group theme builds and more. If kids dress and talk like a pirate on Talk Like a Pirate Day, they gain free entry. Brick-or-Treat Halloween, Breakfast with Santa and Noon Year’s Eve are also fun events to look out for this year. Check our events calendar for things happening at LEGOLAND.
