Legoland Discovery Center To Join Phipps Plaza

LEGOLAND Discovery Center has announced plans for a Phipps Plaza location in Atlanta. The 32,000 square foot attraction is slated to open in March 2012. It will join mall anchors Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstom, and Belk. The upscale mall is also home to high end retailers Barney's New York CO-OP, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Hugo Boss Tiffany & Co, and Versace.

Other LEGOLAND Discovery Center locations in the US can be found in Chicago and Dallas/Forth Worth. Internationally, there are Manchester, England and Berlin and Duisburg, Germany locations. A LEGOLAND California Park is located in Carlsbad, California. A LEGOLAND Florida Park in Winter Haven, Florida is set to open in October 2011.

Construction will begin in July 2011 and cost around $12 million. It will require a redesign of the mall's food court located right outside of the entrance to the movie theater.
