Common questions
What is the best time to visit?
It does depend on the day, but generally the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre is quietest after 2pm.
Like any popular attraction we have to limit the number of guests at any one time. The best way of ensuring your child’s place is by booking your tickets in advance (it will cost less too)!
Can children visit the Centre without an adult?
Sorry, no. Everyone is welcome, but children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Are visits guided?
No. The typical visit takes 2-3 hours, but you are weclome to stay in each attraction for as long as you wish.
Of course some experiences, like the ride or the cinema are timed.
Can I bring my own food and drink?
Sorry, we don't allow anything other than baby food/milk, or snacks for children with allergies.
We have a good cafe in the centre with child-friendly drinks and snacks.
Is the Centre suitable for disabled visitors / wheelchair users?
Yes, we are fully accessible for disabled visitors and wheelchair users. We have a lift and ramps.
Are your staff first aid trained?
Yes. We ensure that there are always staff members at the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre who are trained in first aid.

My children love it!!
They adore Lego and love the Model building sessions. They really like the racer section, being able to build lots of different types of cars and testing them to see what works best (for me this is good as it also means an educational twist to it too learning about arodynamics and stuff).
The rides are cool, they say. And I don't know how many times they have seen the 4D films but they never seem to get bored of them!! Overall we all love LDC Manchester, it's just ace!!
