This is good news if you live in the UK like me! There's a new LEGOLAND Discovery Centre coming to the Barton Square at Manchester's Trafford Centre! There are only 3 Discovery Centres open at the moment, and from what I've heard, they seem to be a cross of a LEGO Shop and LEGOLAND (it says it's an indoor themepark on the website:
http://www.legolanddiscoverycenter.com). They are also building a Discovery Centre in Xanadu. Here is the full article from the LEGO Club website:
Get set to enter a LEGO® world of colour, creativity and fun as the UK’s first LEGOLAND Discovery Centre opens in Manchester on 22nd March, 2010!
The unique indoor attraction, featuring over two million LEGO bricks, will open in the Trafford Centre’s Barton Square. Perfect for LEGO fans aged three to 12 years, the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre is like jumping into a giant box of LEGO fun!
The interactive attractions at the Discovery Centre will take visitors into a world where their imaginations can run wild, with creative inspiration at every turn. Visitors will be taken on a LEGO Factory tour, revealing the secrets of how the famous bricks are made. Some parts of the machinery are missing, so we’ll need the help of all our best builders to get things working and create new LEGO bricks!
Other Discovery Centre features include a fantastic LEGO City: Fire Station play area, a 4-D cinema, earthquake tables to test the strength of the tallest LEGO towers, and a LEGO laser ride called Kingdom Quest! All this and more will provide endless fun for LEGO fans young and old!
Finally, LEGO comes to the North of England.
TBD
