Lego Imagination Center

The staff was very friendly toward my son and amazing customer service! They went out of their way to help my son find a particular Lego he had been searching for and he was thrilled to find it. The «pick-​a-​brick» wall is the largest I’ve ever seen. There’s a large play area for younger kids and older kids. The gigantic Lego sculptures are impressive! Mall of America is right next to the airport and we always stop by here on our way in and out of Minnesota. Highly recommended this store for any and all Lego lovers!

I don’t know why I never stopped in here before because this place is AWESOME! You can play with Legos! You can buy Legos! There are giant Lego statues you can make random strangers take your picture next to!
I didn’t buy a Lego set (…yet), but man, there are some sweet ones there. A great place for kids and adults.

Dishonest customer service, don’t trust these people.
A friend was there in person and texted me that they had one last LEGO Death Star. I’ve been looking for this for a while, as LEGO may (but has not yet) continue to make them. My friend spoke with a lady working at the store, and she told him they would ship it anywhere in the United States.
Minutes later I called to ask them to sell it to me and ship it. The person I spoke to, who I was later told is «Cole,» told me that they would not sell it and ship it. He told me that since it was the last available, they would only sell it to a local customer.
So, I called back later that evening and asked for a manager. The person who answered said he was a manager. This was someone different from «Cole.» I explained the issue and he stated that the LEGO store there would not ship to a place with an existing LEGO store of their own.
This «manager» also said that Cole was not his boss and he could not override Cole’s decision. I asked him whether «we don’t ship LEGO to places that have a LEGO store» was the policy of the parent company, and he told me he was the most junior person there and wasn’t in a position to answer that question.
I raise this issue to highlight their dishonesty. One minute they are a «manager.» The next, they are subordinate and incapable of exercising discretion or answering questions. Rather dishonest.
So, I called my LEGO store. Yes, they have been know to receive LEGo sets for from other LEGO stores and yes, they ship.
So, here’s my takeaway: the personnel at this store will repeatedly give conflicting and untruthful answers because they would rather not deal honestly with customers. Trust them if you like, but I would not. If you are from out of town, don’t shop there. You might find that they excessive their discretion in a way that does not serve you, and then give conflicting answers as to why.

Knock it out of the park. We are Lego lovers and have been to many stories but we always love them. Get time in the front to just build with you children of all ages as they have both duplo and normal. We love to see all the Lego build and especially enjoyed the display on top.

Nice store and employees who were very kind to my 8 year old. I just expected a larger store. I did like the interactive Lego screen for the products and when they were out of a product they offered a slip to get free shipping if we ordered online or we could place our order in the store and also get free shipping.

I love LEGOs. Lego means «play well» and it’s just a great product and a big part of my own childhood. So of course, I’m already biased about my review… but the store itself is amazing.
(+) LEGO everywhere. It’s probably my favorite place in the mall of ‘merica
(+) Build your own lego person
(+) Variety for young and old, throwback Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, and even new Bionicle and retro (but modernized) City and Space sets
(+) Prices are reasonable, the giant sets and Technics/​Mindstorms are a big hit to the bank account though
(+) Giant lego robot mech on top of this place is astounding. I’d like to see the step by step instructions for building that ;)
Reading Brick by Brick by David Robertson, fascinating company and remarkable turnaround in the toy industry from up, to down, and back up even more dominant than before. I highly recommend if you are interested in innovation, I’m sure Lego is an example in some business school case studies.

love love love the LEGO imagination Center… loved it since I was young and love it still.
I brought my 3yr old son there recently and we had a great time. First off, seeing a kid’s eyes light up when they see the HUGE Lego characters on top of the store is always fun. My son had a special affinity for the large transformers type robot… we even had to go see if from the third floor and eat lunch were we could see all the cool Lego guys.
Of course we headed to the back of the store so that he could spend some time building at the creation stations, it was awesome. It’s a great place for tired parents to rest and recoup before heading out to conquer the rest of MOA.
Finally we went back into the store where my son was loaded up with ten whole dollars left from Christmas. First I was happy that there were actually a lot of options at a lower price point and he found the perfect set for him (Duplo Bulldozer!). I am sure this is just the beginning of a lifelong Lego addiction; we will most definitely be back.

Fantastic store located right next to Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America. There’s a great area for kids to play with Legos and use their imaginations. Service is always very good. Definitely join the VIP program especially if you have a child who likes Legos and if you will be shopping here frequently… And the program does not seem to be very well advertised so you will need to ask about it.
Be sure to take time to enjoy the massive Lego creations above the store as well.

This is a kids dream come true… They have small Legos and big Legos and cheap Legos and expensive Legos and Legos of all colors and shapes and sizes. They also have a build a center right outside where kids can park their tooshie and let their creativity run wild.
If I was a kid I could spend hours here and it’s neat it’s right in front of that huge kids parks… Sigh… To be young again…

If you have ever played with Legos as a child or even an adult… this place will blow your mind. Everything Lego with an over the top presentation. The young ones in your family will wan to spend hours here.

does it need a comment? the place is awesome!

Been here several times and the people who work here are always polite and helpful. Even when the store is packed and in full chaos mode, it never feels like a mess.
There is a mess because some people can’t control their freaking kids (nor pick up after them), but that’s not the employees’ fault. The wait to check out is never very long because most of the random customers wandering about are just window shopping or just letting their kids splash around playing with the free Legos.

Your kids are gonna love this place. Bring your wallet, it gets expensive!

1^st level moa — this is a must stop must see

Offerings in the store are pretty typical of any other Lego store, in any other mall anywhere in the country. The really cool things about this location are the amazing, gigantic Lego sculptures that hover over the shop. Unless you are at Disney or Legoland, you probably wont see sculptures like this anywhere else… Even if you aren’t into Legos, these are worth the walk by.

Awesome! I only had a short amount of time to spend in the Mall of America and ended up spending the whole time inside the Lego Imagination Center. The only weird thing is the employees are overly helpful…

One of the best parts of the Mall of America, the large sculptures and area where you can just sit down and play with blocks is smack in the middle of the entry to the airy center amusement park. Definitely a fun place for kids and adults who loved these little bricks.

Lego Imagination Center, on the 1^st floor of the MoA, is a great place for any LEGO aficionado to visit. They have several impressive life-​size LEGO sculptures /​models on dispaly.

My son loved it! Had to drag him out when it was time to go. All the computers and lego stations in use. There was a pretty good turn over of people so kids had a chance to play without a long wait. Free for the kids to play with the legos and computers.

Located on the 1^st floor of the Mall of America, on the edge of their amusement park, Lego World is the place for kids of all ages. It’s a toy store with all things Lego and an open play area for building with Legos.
From the moment it opens at 10 AM and store personnel fill the bins with the Lego pieces, the madness begins. There’s separate Lego tables for little kids (Duplo blocks) and bigger kids (small piece Legos).
The biggest attraction there has to be the Lego race track. You can build your own Lego cars and race them down a slope. Seems to be more of a father-​son thing. The dads build the vehicles and their kids race them. But you better hurry and retireve your vehicle. Resourceful scavenger kids await the vehicles at the bottom of the ramp to take broken-​off pieces to soup up their own vehicles. My one complaint is the endless shortage of wheels and axles.
There are numerous giant Lego sculptures in the store like dinosaurs, Star Wars characters, a horse, and space ships. Cool to see just for the fine details.
In the store, you can pick out any colors, shapes, or sizes of Legos and fill up a bin. Whatever you can fit in the bucket and closer the lid can be bought for a flat rate price. This is a good way to get the Legos you need rather than a generic assortment from a toy store.
And watch your step! In the peak Lego mania, there’s lots of pieces scattered on the Lego-​pattern carpet. Kids dart in front of you with their race cars in hand. Easy place to lose a kid too.
After what seems like hours, one by one, the parents remove their screaming toddlers who aren’t finished with their Legos yet… with the promise of more Legos tomorrow.
