LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Arizona

LEGOLAND Discovery Center Arizona in Tempe is the ultimate indoor LEGO experience for children ages 3-12, combining a 4D LEGO cinema, interactive rides, build zones, and a LEGO Miniland featuring detailed replicas of Arizona landmarks — all rendered in millions of LEGO bricks in a fully air-conditioned mall environment.

The venue is specifically designed for young LEGO fans, not adult collectors. Adults must be accompanied by a child to enter, reinforcing the focus on the child experience. The programming is built around active play rather than passive viewing: kids can build freely in dedicated construction areas, test their creations, join themed building challenges, and participate in LEGO Master Model Builder experiences.

The LEGO Miniland Arizona is a fan favorite — intricate scale models of Phoenix, Scottsdale, and other Arizona landmarks built from thousands of LEGO bricks with incredible detail. The 4D cinema screens LEGO-themed films with physical effects (wind, mist, seat vibration) that amplify the experience. Several interactive rides round out the offer.

For LEGO-obsessed children in the 4-10 age range, this is a genuine pilgrimage destination. The build zones can keep dedicated builders occupied well beyond the standard visit time. Families who budget for 2-3 hours often find they need more if children get deep into a building project.

Located inside Arizona Mills Mall in Tempe, about 90 miles south of Sedona. SEA LIFE Arizona Aquarium is in the same mall and combo tickets offer savings for families planning to visit both. Buy tickets online — walk-up prices are significantly higher.
