Insider guide
1. LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Manchester; Early Bird
Once you’ve secured the best LEGOLAND®Discovery Centre Manchester Ticket Deals then plan to arrive about 30 mins before the attraction opens on the day of your visit. The biggest bottle neck tends to be as you arrive; queuing for tickets, accessing the lift & making your way through to the factory tour. Always ensure you’ve selected the correct line particularly for those with fastrack entrance.
2. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester; Factory Tour
Once inside the attraction & you have taken the lift to the first floor, you will be herded along to the factory tour. This 5 minute show is primarily aimed at young children and, in our book, adds very little value to your visit. You can avoid the factory tour by asking staff on hand to direct you.

3. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester; Turn Left!
As you exit from the factory tour, avoid being directed off to the Kingdom Quest ride as you can do this later in the day when queues are reduced. Instead turn left into the main arena, signposted for Miniland, that gives you free range to the busiest areas of the attraction before the queues arrive!
4. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester; Popular Attractions
Miniland never becomes too busy so go straight to the areas where the queues build quickly; Merlin’s Apprentice, Lego City Forest Pursuit Ride, Kingdom Quest Laser Ride & Lego Racers.
5. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre; Good Capacity
Remember the good capacity areas such as the 4D Cinema, Miniland, Fire Academy, Duplo Village & Lego Friends can all be undertaken later in your visit as the numbers build. Whilst the Master Model Builder Workshops only has a capacity for 15 at any one time, it does run every half an hour during peak times, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long for a go.
6. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre; Refreshments
Whist picnics aren’t actively encouraged, we weren’t the only ones tucking into a home made sandwich. There are tables by the cafe or try the waiting area outside the Lego Studios if you don’t mind the floor. Children’s lunch boxes are available from the cafe & are reasonably priced, (remember your 20% discount for passholders). The great thing is the cafe is central to the attraction so you can catch a coffee and keep an eye on the kids at the same time!

Can I use a 2 for 1 voucher for Legoland discovery centre and sea life 2 attraction ticket together and can I book both visits for the same day?
Hi Patty, 2 for 1 vouchers for Legoland Discovery Centre can only be used against single entry standard price tickets and not in conjunction with multi attraction tickets, sorry. Multi-attraction tickets allow you to book your second visit within 90 days of your initial visit. You may be able to visit both on the same day but this is subject to availability- you will receive your a booking link for your second attraction once you have purchased a multi attraction ticket so you can check availability, Liz
I am trying to find a valid 2 for 1 voucher for Legoland Discovery Centre and wonder if you could point me in the right direction please.
