Very fun. Not for big groups. I went with a big group. 2 people went missing. They found them. Thankfully. Fun though.

We came here for my birthday.
Spent almost 300.00 on tickets and the extra that came with them.
The kingdom ride at the front was not working.
The VR systems were all off center ... So we had to break our necks to watch the race.
We told the lady running it, and she said she didn't know how to fix it. But never attempted either.
Most the workers weren't very pleasant.
Was hoping to have fun with the kids for the amount of money we spent ... SOMETHING could have been working.
It was just disappointing. 😞🥴

It was fun. We went when it was dead, so very little crowds, which was a plus
We got the activity pack and the lego build additions. The build was a low cost item, which is fine, but I think it was more expensive than the msrp. The activity was just a bunch of cheap cut outs on a lanyard that there was no attempt by the establishment to factor into the visit. Literal wasted money. All in all, its worth the money, especially if your little one(s) love lego, but do not get the activity pack.

Our family recently visited LEGO® Discovery Center Atlanta with VIP tickets for our children, and the experience was a mix of highs and frustrating lows.
Getting There: Finding the location was a nightmare. We didn’t realize it was inside Phipps Plaza and initially thought it was a standalone building. GPS only took us to a parking lot, and we wandered outside the plaza for about 15 minutes trying to figure out where the entrance was before finally going inside and searching around for another 10 minutes. The center is on the top floor at the back, and clearer directions or signage would help first-time visitors tremendously.
Check-In & Mini Builds: The check-in staff was friendly but seemed distracted. My husband purchased four LEGO® Mini Builds, but we were only given three options to choose from, so three of us ended up with the same one. Once inside, the building area was chaotic—not because of the kids, but because parents weren’t supervising their children properly. Kids were grabbing pieces from others’ builds, and my youngest was pushed twice by older children while trying to complete his figure. This lack of supervision negatively impacted everyone’s experience.
VIP Experience: The VIP portion for our children was the highlight. Noah, who led the session, was energetic, friendly, and engaging. He set up a table where each child could build a mini figure and place it anywhere in the display cases. The kids also went backstage to build picture frames with their photos included. My son received a lot of guidance and built a pirate ship and a T-Rex frame. My daughter, who is shy, did not get the same level of attention, but she still built a horse frame with some help. LEGO Lunch Pals with a PB&J sandwich, apple juice, and fruit were included. This part of the visit was hands-on, fun, and memorable, and the displays in the back were impressive.
Other Attractions & Adult Experience: Outside of the VIP portion, the rest of the center was disappointing. The ride barely worked—only one gun and two screens functioned—and the staff were unfriendly. VR was fun, and the mini Atlanta build display was interesting, especially since the kids got to place their figures, but there was nothing for adults to do. My husband and I had to pay general admission just to accompany our children, yet all we did was help put a LEGO figure in the Atlanta build. Paying full admission as adults with nothing to do felt unnecessary and unfair.
Overall: The VIP experience with Noah was excellent and worth it, but the rest of the center felt overpriced, poorly maintained, and frustrating—especially due to other parents not supervising their children and the lack of activities for adults. Without VIP, I would not recommend visiting, and even with VIP, paying for parents with no real activities is unnecessary.
