LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTER Tokyo — Attraction in Tokyo

Waste of money - Buying a lego set and building it at home would have provided a much better experience for our family. If you want a theme park experience, go to a theme park like Disney, if you want a playground an unbranded paid playground is better. The limitations like the only operational ride being limited to kids means adults were left out, the other ride was abruptly down for maintenance and they fail at allowing parents to delight in their kids reactions. The theater that was so loud with such a disconcerting environment that meant one of our crew bawled his eyes out. They enjoyed building, the volume of parts is large but the diversity is small so it's not like you can build what you want. So there was nothing that special to do beyond building at home and a local park. Overall it actually damaged my image of the Lego brand as thinking such a c-grade experience is OK.

The website also threw an "Unknown error, please call this phone number" on the final screen of our booking so we had to rebook with a radically lower amount of time in the center.

The issue with this park is that it's like the sofa bed of brand experiences. Is it a playground? Is it a theme park? Is it a Lego builder's dream? Is it somewhere that enables parents to have an experience with kids that they can't have elsewhere? Is it a place parents can dump kids and sit back whilst they go have fun? It's really not any of those but it tries to be all of them at a far diminished level than if it tried to be any...

Long time Lego fan here. Our house is full of them and they're mostly mine (adult) and some are the kids.

Enjoyed the Miniland. Great to see cities replicated with Legos.

1st off, the website wouldn't accept our Visa card so we came at 1000 to try and buy tickets at full price. Nope. "Come back at 1200 to buy regular tickets". Hearing this after a 1.5hr train ride sucks!

The two rides were ok. Nothing extreme.

The workshop had times listed and we asked about them. Small language barrier, but she pointed to 1500 and said to come back. We came back at 1400 to check, and the 1500 and 1530 classes were already booked. The first employee never mentioned that we needed to sign up. The later worker said we could come back at 1450 for the standby line just in case there are no shows. The brochure does not mention needing to sign up either.

The Lego Friends are is a joke. Looks bigger on the map. All it was is a one person stage with a karaoke screen.

The "factory" part was meh. Probably learn more by watching YouTube of the actual factory showing how they're made.

Will not...

To be fair, our junior school age kids enjoyed it a lot, but for us the overall experience fell a bit short. It's very difficult to find the entrance; bizarrely, one of the ways in takes you through a crowded play area for toddlers! Signage is awful, fairly typical in Japan in our experience. We had a couple of empty drink cups, but the staff finding a bin for them proved too much of an ask! Another quirk of Japan meant finding a bin took ages. Once you find it, it's not cheap and while there are a couple of rides, they're pretty basic. Age 7 or 8 is about the limit for enjoying them. Some bits didn't work properly and the level of interactivity was disappointing too, but as I say, it did the job for our kids though, so ultimately that was the most important thing, but we just felt Lego should aspire to a better overall customer experience than us delivered...
