The LEGOLAND Discovery Cener is the first indoor legoland in the US. There are a variety of lego-related activities, from intricate models to a mini factory and a "model builder's workshop" where kids can build to their heart's content. There is also a play area where kids can work off some of their physical energy. The Discovery Center isn't intended to an all day or multi-day destination like Lego's theme park in San Diego, but it is a great place to spend a half a day or more. Duplos are available for young kids.
