Legoland Discovery Center Westchester is an indoor family entertainment center located at Westchester’s Ridge Hill in Yonkers, New York, in Westchester County. The attraction includes Lego rides, a play area, a 4D cinema, and a gift shop. Legoland Discovery Center Westchester is owned and operated by leisure group Merlin Entertainments.
Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Kristiansen invented Lego bricks in 1958. The Lego employees were often interrupted by visitors who wanted to see what they could build with Lego bricks. So one day, someone came up with the idea to build a park where visitors could build with bricks. The first Legoland Discovery Center was opened in Berlin in 2007, and since then, a total of 12 Legoland Discovery Centers has been opened. Legoland Discovery Center Westchester was opened in March 2013.
