First Lego Discovery Center In DC Region To Open At Springfield Town Center

SPRINGFIELD, VA — A new Lego Discovery Center will open at Springfield Town Center, joining other entertainment offerings at the mall.

The indoor attraction will open in 2023, Springfield Town Center owner PREIT announced. The 32,000-square-foot Lego Discovery Center will be created by Merlin Entertainments & the LEGO Group and located on one level near the mall's main entrance.

While more specific details about the attraction are expected in the coming months, Lego Discovery Centers are typically indoor Lego playgrounds for children.

This will be the first Lego Discovery Center in the DC area. It will join Regal Cinema and Dave & Buster's as entertainment offerings at Springfield Town Center.

"We are excited to welcome this next generation LEGO Discovery Center to Fairfax County," said Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay, "It is an institution for kids of all ages where they can explore their imagination. LEGO Discovery Center will draw families from across the region to family-friendly Springfield and will be an important contribution to the County."
