LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Oberhausen
An indoor playground for families with younger LEGO®-obsessed kids, LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Oberhausen lets you unleash your creativity with more than 4 million LEGO bricks. Smaller in scale than a full LEGOLAND, this center has several play areas, a 4D cinema, and a couple of rides for the youngest visitors.
The Basics
Most travelers visit LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Oberhausen independently, either on a day trip from Düsseldorf or Dortmund or while staying in Oberhausen. Purchase tickets online in advance for a discount, or buy them at the door. The center has 12 different themed attractions, including Pirate Island and Merlin’s Magic Library; two low-key rides; and a 4D adventure in the movie theater. Additionally, kids can go through LEGO school with real LEGO model builders in the Model Builders’ Workshop, while at the LEGO Factory they can learn about the production of the colorful bricks and even create their own to take home.

When to Get There
The center is open seven days a week, from morning until early evening, all year round, except for December 24. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre limits the number of people who can be inside at one time, so book ahead to reserve your preferred time slot. Give your family around three hours to fully explore the center.
