Tickets On Sale For Lego Discovery Center Boston, Re-Opens April 14

SOMERVILLE, MA — The first tickets went on sale Tuesday for the renovated Lego Discovery Center Boston in Somerville's Assembly Row.

Lego Discovery Center, located at 598 Assembly Row, is scheduled to open on April 14. When it does, the attraction will be the first "next generation" Lego Discovery Center in North America, according to a LEGO spokesperson.

Formerly known as Legoland Discovery Center, the Somerville location opened in 2014. The facility closed temporarily last summer and has undergone a $12 million renovation.

According to Lego, the new Lego Discovery Center will include new and reimagined popular experiences like the state-of-the-art Lego Space digital experience, Minifigure Creator and Duplo Park.

"The new immersive experience is designed to allow more family learning-through-play activities and will also include a new team of specialist Playmakers and Master Model Builders who will continue to inspire guests through fun, interactive Lego Creative Workshops," the company said in a statement.

Lego's statement continued: "Lego Discovery Center will be a place where your imagination and creativity know no bounds. An amazing indoor adventure of more than 43,000 square feet where adults and children create and play together as they make their way through twelve zones including building adventures, an interactive ride and much more."

"First to Play" tickets to the new Lego Discovery Center are available via the center's website, and will allow guests to visit in the first days and weeks of the Grand Opening, according to the company.
