  Pretty cool place. Went on a Friday so it wasn’t too busy. Couple of attractions my son wasn’t quite ready for (he’s 4), so wasn’t able to get out full moneys worth and so was only there for about 2 hours. Most of the reviews are pretty spot on. There are some things that either need to be fixed or just replaced if it’s not going to be maintained. Didn’t use the large cafe. At the beginning, you build a Lego person which is pretty cool but not all the stations to interact with your Lego person work. I also found it very surprising that you’re supposed to return the Lego person when you leave. For the price of admission, I would think you should just be able to keep a small figure, as well as for sanitation reasons. The Lego replicate of Boston is really neat though! Fortunately, I was able to find a discount where my son got in for free so I only had to pay for my ticket which made it worth it. If I had to pay full price for both of us, I think it would’ve been an overpay. I’d consider going back again if I was able to find another discount

  On the positive side, the employees were friendly there wasn't really any wait to do anything. The kids seemed to have a good time which was the point of the trip. It was clean. The little 4d movie was kind of cute. The negative, the only ride was broken when we got there and was just starting back up when we were leaving. There was a bank robbing type of game where you try to press spots on the wall while avoiding lasers, but going in with 2 people you could basically do it without needing to cross over any lasers. There was a section to build cars and ramps to test them on but there were hardly any wheels. When we got there 4 or 5 kids had cars built and everyone else was just digging through legos looking for wheels. There was a place to build a rocket, scan it, and it would display on a large screen where you could control it. We tried 3 stations and 2 were not functioning at all, and the one we used uploaded the rocket but we couldn't control it. There were 4 or 5 kids at the other stations but only ever one rocket really moving around the large screen so I'm not sure if all the others worked. The duplo area had a magnetic fishing for ducks thing and the magnets were too weak to pick up the ducks and it had these frog things you drop balls in and the bounce through Lego stuff to the bottom like plinko. We found 2 balls and one immediately got stuck and never came out the bottom. No character meet and greets like advertised. Overall, it was ok for kids 5-8ish. Not worth the nearly $100 it cost a family of 5 to enter or the drive through Boston traffic.

  Didn't visit the attraction . But it's stupid to go buy Lego at a Lego store and realize it's more expensive than the same freaking Lego at Target... So unproductive. Staff was cool.

  Absolutely a let down, I’d leave zero stars if I could. I’m not even sure where to begin other than stating DONT WASTE YOUR TIME The only reason this trip didn’t completely suck was because the two young men working in your retail store at the end were absolutely amazing employees! Let me start with I’ve been in the customer service industry in various fields for over 15 years and spent a great deal of time in upper management; if my employees ever acted the way the employees in the discovery center did today I would absolutely be reevaluating if I should be running a business. Minus the the retail workers at the end of our 2.5 miserable hour visit, the rest of your employees looked as miserable as we were. Not a single one spoke kindly to any child there that i witnessed including my own, one employee even hit a child with the corner of a metal pop up sign they were using to block the entrance to the “VR” center and didn’t even apologize to him, his parent or ask if he was okay. That same employee than followed that up by speaking to my child in such a completely unprofessional manner and tone I was legitimately left speechless. Because my child who’s barley 8 and doesn’t even look that old, should never have any adult cop such an attitude regarding if they have tickets or not when their parent is standing right there, and then to cop that same exact snotty attitude with a PAYING visitor is wild behavior. Between the VR employee, the employee that was running the ‘Save the Princess’ ride who acted like I had ruined their entire day by verifying what the ride was because my child was nervous about going on it and the custodian who was sweeping up and dumping the legos that were strewn about on the floor back into the bins, it’s very apparent upper management seriously needs a re evaluation and your employees on the floor need training on courtesy, communication and empathy especially considering they WORK WITH KIDS It’s so astonishing to see employees who work with children interact with them in such a negative way; especially in comparison to the excellent experience we had earlier at the Bluey Camp Experience. Now employee behavior aside; the rest of the place is also just disgusting. Between the legos being swept off the floor in dust pans a dumped back into the bins Unsanitized, to the USED feminine hygiene products that my 8 YEAR OLD SAW were strewn about the women’s restroom including on top of the toilet seats, the lack of sanitation of the VR headsets topped off by no central air the entire facility is a breading ground for bacteria. It was so hot and muggy inside there from the lack of central air or air flow at all it made the entire place nauseating on top of the gross factor. And to finding this review off, the amount of things that were broken so the kids couldn’t use them, the fact that there was absolutely no organization or explanation on how anything worked it was honestly just a complete an utter waste of time and money. My family has always been huge on LEGO and today was such a huge disappointment to my son. I really wish I was just being a Karen here or a disgruntled parent, but given my review history on Google and my background in business management please take this review seriously and consider other alternative activities for your kids, at least don’t bother paying for any of the extra stuff because there’s no explanation on how it works let alone if it works.

  Had tickets via Groupon for 20usd which in my opinion was a good value for the experience. My 2kids 6 and 9 really enjoyed the activities and challenges as well as the 4d movies. We had 3 different movies that day. Each one about 15 minutes. We spent a total of 4 hours coz we had to go but feel like my kids would have enjoyed a couple hours more. Not sure I would purchase plain tickets though.
