History
LEGO bricks were invented by Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1958. The first Legoland Discovery Centre was opened in Berlin in 2007, and since then a total of 13 Legoland Discovery Centres have been opened. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Toronto was opened in March 2013 and is the only location in Canada.

For the grand opening, the attraction took over Yonge–Dundas Square and invited the public to help build a LEGO mosaic in a subway stop. In 2018, the Centre secured the Guinness World Record for Largest LEGO Brick Flag with a 21-by-11 ft. Canadian flag made from 248,072 LEGO bricks.

The Toronto location had previously been occupied by a NASCAR Speedpark. It opened with the mall in 2004 and closed in December 2011.
