Legoland Discovery Center Westchester, Indoor playground in Yonkers, United States
Legoland Discovery Center Westchester is an indoor family entertainment center at Westchester's Ridge Hill in Yonkers, New York, owned and operated by Merlin Entertainments. Its two rides are the Kingdom Quest laser ride, where visitors zap trolls and skeletons, and Merlin's Apprentice, where riders pedal to lift off the ground. Other areas include a Lego Factory Tour, a 4D cinema, Miniland with a Lego replica of the local area, Duplo Village, Lego Racers, the Earthquake Tables and a shop with over 900 products.
The center opened as part of the Ridge Hill development project in Westchester County. It became a new entertainment destination for families in the New York metropolitan area.
The Lego Factory Tour shows how bricks are moulded, and the Master Builder Academy runs classes led by the center's Master Model Builders. Children can meet the five Lego Friends — Stephanie, Olivia, Andrea, Mia and Emma — build a microphone and sing on the karaoke stage.
The center sits at Westchester's Ridge Hill in Yonkers, Westchester County, and is owned and operated by Merlin Entertainments. Merlin's Apprentice Ride is powered by pedaling, so riders lift themselves above the rest of the center. Birthday Rooms can be reserved for exclusive use as part of a Party Package.
Miniland holds a Lego replica of the local area around Yonkers and Westchester's Ridge Hill, not of New York City landmarks, and the sources give no brick count for it. The center is run by Merlin Entertainments, the leisure group behind the Legoland Discovery Centers that began with Berlin in 2007.
