I visited with my 5-year old daughter and she was over the moon about EVERYTHING she saw.

Things to Do at LEGOLAND Michigan
Immediately upon stepping into LEGOLAND Discovery Center, you’re greeted with an opportunity to take a ride on a train to fight off villains for the LEGO Princess. Your family can work together to defeat the bad guys, rescue the princess and pretend you’re in another world.
Anyhow, there are multiple rooms of themed fun for you to explore and discover.
1 – MINILAND
A replica of Downtown Detroit built from LEGO® bricks
Stroll through a recreation of Downtown Detroit’s landmarks, like Comerica Park. It’s unbelievably breathtaking.
Plus, the exhibit is interactive; kids can push buttons to make things happen inside of the exhibit. Very cool!
Hang around Mini-Detroit long enough and the display will go into night mode. You’ll love the fireworks display that “shoots off” on the walls.
Fun fact: It took 15 model builders over 5000 hours to construct – and they used over 1 million LEGO® bricks!
2 – Kingdom Quest Ride
Grab a zapper, ride through the dark tunnel, and save the Princess!
Must be 30″ tall
Step into your chariot and take aim, your job on this ride involves fighting off villains and shooting the “bad guys” to save the princess!

3 – Merlin’s Apprentice Ride
The faster you pedal, the higher you go!
Must be 36″ tall to ride with an adult
A fun, interactive wizard-themed ride that raises you up to the best views in Legoland Michigan!
Rides are included in your ticket price and can be enjoyed as many times as you’d like.

I went there a couple of years ago and would like to go back there again with the grandkids.
Liked both pages .
Took my 11 and 14 year old and we are just too old for Legoland. Sea Life was better!
Which Lego Club Magazine had the coupons in them?
I just applied the buy an adult, get a kid free coupon and it worked! Just click under the promo tab on the website and then make sure to bring your coupon with you when you go to the Discovery Center! Enjoy:)
Yes! I am super excited to visit Legoland in Michigan. Do you know if they eventually will except the buy one adult/get one child free coupons from the Lego Club magazines. It sounds like they will only be selling tickets online to begin with. That would probably mean no coupons. Last Memorial Day we visited the Legoland in Schaumburg, IL. It had a few more rides but the same idea. My boys, ages 5 and 8, were in heaven. I know they are going to beg to go when they hear it is in Michigan AND there is an Aquarium nearby!
Sorry, we haven’t heard anything about coupon policies, but you should check out our current giveaway for 4 individual tickets to the Michigan LEGOLAND Discovery Center! http://grkids.com/win-tickets-new-legoland-discovery-center/
