Merlin Entertainments, a global leader in location-based entertainment with over 140+ global attractions such as LEGOLAND®, the London Eye, Madame Tussauds and SEA LIFE aquariums, today announces that Germany’s first next-generation LEGO® Discovery Centre is set to open in Hamburg's landmark HafenCity in 2024.
The 3,000 square meter family attraction will have 12 unique zones with all-new experiences centred around learning through play. Families will also discover exciting and immersive activities such as creative workshops where children can let their imagination run wild with the more than 2 million LEGO® bricks at the brand-new attraction.
LEGO® Discovery Centre Hamburg will be a next-generation attraction, reimagined with a brand-new look and design, allowing more family learning through play activities. Not only will guests find a dedicated team of playmakers and Master Model Builders on hand to guide their bricktastic adventure, there will also be a chance to be a part of the junior Creative Crew, for LEGO-loving little ones. The hand-picked junior Creative Crew will also be allowed to be the first to test the attraction’s unique zones, getting exclusive behind-the-scenes insights as the LEGO® Discovery Centre is brought to life.
"With the LEGO® Discovery Centre, we are offering a genuine new excursion highlight for families in Hamburg's HafenCity. Here, the focus is on the children, which is why we also give great importance to their ideas when building the attraction. In return for this valuable support, our "Creative Crew" will receive free admission for a year, in addition to many other highlights."
