Dads Go Free Weekend at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester

Yonkers, N.Y. (June 5, 2018) – Dads are overwhelmingly likely to opt for “a day with family” as their number one desire for Father’s Day, according to a 2016 Harris Poll. An impressive 58% of all dads surveyed ranked family time as their top wish. 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 16 and 17.

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® City Builder and LEGO® Ninjago City Adventure – a two-story, 2,300-square-foot play structure with more than 20 interactive features.

This year, Father’s Day falls during LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Westchester’s month-long birthday bash celebrating the 40th anniversary of the LEGO® Minifigure. Partygoers will enjoy birthday-themed builds in the Model Builder academy, Minifigure trading with Series 18 Minifigures, themed photo stations, and a Minifigure scavenger hunt in MINILAND. Wyldstyle from The LEGO Movie will also be on hand for meet and greet opportunities throughout the weekend.

“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 Westchester.

The Dads Go Free offer may be redeemed online using promo code 181009 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 16 or 17. The offer is also valid on walk-up tickets with the coupon (either printed or displayed on smart phone).
