LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Westchester Celebrates Father’s Day with Dads Go Free Weekend June 17-18

Yonkers, N.Y. (May 31, 2017) – Dads are overwhelmingly likely to opt for “a day with family” as their No. 1 desire for Father’s Day, according to a 2015 Harris Poll. An impressive 57% of all dads surveyed ranked family time as their number one wish – a desire that handily beat “electronics/gadgets” (37%), gift certificates (37%) and “a home cooked meal (36%).

In honor of Father’s Day, LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Westchester, the ultimate indoor LEGO® playground, is inviting families to a special Dads Go Free Weekend on June 17 and 18. Dads will be treated to free admission with the purchase of a child ticket and are encouraged to enjoy the venue’s numerous attractions, including the newly opened LEGO® Ninjago City Adventure – a two-story, 2,300-square-foot play structure with more than 20 interactive features.

“What better way to celebrate fathers and children than to offer a great weekend of parent and child play? We welcome families to immerse themselves in a world of entertainment, color and creativity this Father’s Day weekend – learning, laughing and building bonds together,” said Chris Mines, General Manager of LEGOLAND® Discovery Center.

The “Dads Go Free” offer may be redeemed online using promo code 171020 and is valid for one free one-day adult ticket with the purchase of a full-price one-day child ticket to be used on June 17 or 18. The offer is also valid on walk-up tickets with the coupon (either printed or displayed on smart phone).
