A Day Out at Great Lakes Crossing

Choose Your Own Adventure

One of the things that you will enjoy the most about a visit to Great Lakes Crossing is that you can make it as big or as little of an excursion as you want to. Are you short on time? You can stroll the mall and window shop. Then stop with the kids for a treat at M Street Bakery, making your way to the food court for an afternoon of affordable fun. Enjoy a ride on the carousel for $4 and grab some of Garret’s gourmet popcorn to snack on while watching the kids play on the Michigan-themed playland.

Building Memories at Legoland Discovery Center

Have you ever been on a Lego ride? Here you will be able to! The entire family can enjoy a short film in the 4D cinema, build together at the creative workshop, and discover familiar landmarks at the Lego Miniland of Detroit. You can build your own race car out of Legos and send it down the ramp, spend time at the interactive build tables, play at the Duplo Farm designed for your younger engineers, and explore Lego Friends Heartlake City. There is an indoor children’s play structure for your children to expend their energy, or if you need to fuel up, there is a small cafe and eating area. What’s great about Legoland Discovery Center is that there is something for various ages, and there are attractions to bring the whole family together to create, build, and imagine. Please keep in mind that adults must be accompanied by a child to enter.
