I attended the adults evening at Manchester Discovery Centre. Two stars go to the shop, which is very good - the assortment and the variety. There was literally just one ride available (mediocre), no 4D cinema. I am perfectly aware this is aimed at young children, but frankly speaking I don't see a point of adult evening, if all you get is a set of containers with generic bricks to build random stuff in the main hallway. I am sure it is fine for young kids, but adults - don't bother, go to Windsor.

Absolute joke, I pay for a annual Merlin pass and they wouldn't let me in as I'm not a child, Just because I'm a adult it doesn't make me any less of a Lego fan, the only reason you got 2 stars instead of none is because of Izzy in the shop, If anyone is after a girlfriend izzy at the Lego discovery centre shop in Manchester might make a great choice, I've got fingers as fat as hotdogs so I don't have it but I gave her 20 minutes and she managed to pick all 12 figures no swaps or nothing, with a finger game like that she's definitely a keeper 👍🏼

Before you mention your adult evenings 19:30 is well past my wanting to leave the house time especially driving to Manchester.

We took our 4 year old Grandson here as part of his Xmas present. He absolutely loved it. There was 2 rides he got to go on and we went in the cinema and loved getting sprayed with water and bubbles through the show. It's not very big and we spent 3 hours there although he didn't want to leave.

Great experience for the kids. Lots of things to see. Several rides. What I liked most is the areas where kids can build their own lego. Also they can test their design skills on the earthquake building spot or the build and test your own race car. A nice day out with lots of memories to be made. Very friendly staff. Can only recommend that place.

We had a fantastic experience as a group of 6.
There was no wait as we had booked the tickets in advance. The kids loved the giant statue of Hagrid inside the store, along with the Ninjago and Star Wars statues outside the store.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and were able to advise us on any questions we had.

The beginning mini 'ghost train' type ride was lots of fun and we all got a bit competitive over who could score the most points shooting the skeletons.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the 4D Dreamz ride inside the Discovery Centre (you will get wet slightly!!) along with the flying bike ride.
They had lots of fun inside the giant soft play area and a look around the shop.

You'll likely spend between an hour and a half up to 3 hours inside the Discovery Centre.

The shop has some very rare and hard to find LEGO sets, and the prices aren't bad at all.

A great day out for the family.

Compared to Birmingham this fell slightly short but the kids and adults still loved it because it is lego! Only 3 hours given to explore, even though 4 is needed, so if you want a bite to eat that takes up precious time. Instead we did a take away for kids to get them the reusable lunch boxes and then did a take away for the adults elsewhere. Couldn't repeat the rides/building stations as there was only enough time to do things once - Only 2 movies compared to 3 to watch etc. Missed the Space building station completely at the end as out of sight out of mind. So that is the negatives out of the way. The kids loved the Ninjago temple and racing cars VR as well as the building stations. Will go back to the Birmingham one

We had a great time, found it expensive for what was there. Our toddler had a great time and enjoyed the rides. Rosie on the front desk was super helpful and friendly.

With an adult free offer, this worked out with a donation to charity at £10 each for me and my daughter. To say this is the most I would pay to get in here is an understatemen. Very limited at what you can do, coffee shop very limited choice. Chicken, beef burger, and nachos. It's not really a great choice for the kids. Got my order wrong twice. Not the desk staff but the people cooking it. Few spoilt little brats allowed to run around with no manners. Three hour time limited. There's not much to do after an hour and a half! Wont be returning anytime soon.

Pros:
- Very engaging for the kids
- Hardly any queuing to enter! They allocate a time so book in advance!
- Lots to do and interact with (the main build room and racing room will be the highlight)
- Free rides including the short 4d cinema experience. Some rides and play areas designed for under 5s, then others for slightly older. Caters well for wide age range.
- Shop at the end is priced quite well (doubles up as a normal shop)
- Worth it for adults too, miniature cities are great and you can go on most or all the rides.
- Staff are great, very energetic and right positivity for the 'Lego Experience'.
- Parking and transport is a doddle. Lots of free parking, it's right near a tram stop or you walk over to the Palazzo from the main Trafford Centre. Easy peasy.

Cons:
- On 23rd July 2023 visit they had refrigeration issues so no sandwiches for adults, but plenty for kids (kids sandwich would be fine for adults) so if you're trying to be healthy you're struggling. chicken burger under 400cals was an option I think
- On that, aside from a very pink cafe in the Trafford Palazzo there isn't anywhere else nearby to eat. (As it's a seperate building from the main Trafford Centre)
- The seating and eating area needs to be twice the size. It's clearly a popular place, and 23rd July was raining so no doubt busy, but it needs to address this soon if continue to be successful.
- Drinks Freestyle Coke machine - again, only a third of flavours were an issue. You only find this out after buying the cup.

Visited 28/06/2023, visited with 2yr old granddaughter so limited to some of the rides but plenty of other activities such as multiple tables with Lego bits to play with and after the cafe on the first floor there is a young child slide near to a cow that they can sit on. There is also a Lego racing car that can be sat in just after the ‘hub’ circular area where a bingo type matching game was being played. The track area with flinstone’esque cars for small kids allows them to run around a police themed track. There is also a crafts room but didn’t look young child friendly, more for school aged kids. The surprise was on the way to the exit there is a space zone which in my opinion should be a main zone! Also a little everything is awesome dance area too. The shop at the end on the ground floor has a great selection of items ranging from sets that will set you back £££ to little baby grogu (Yoda) keyrings, including a decent sized duplo set area for younger kids. If your given the option to coming and buy tickets for Sea Life centre too and have the time then recommend you do both. It is an accessible location in the main with some rides etc not suitable for younger kids.
