You step through automatic doors into a room that smells faintly of plastic and possibility: towers of Technic beams, a crowd of small hands sorting bricks, and the low rumble of a LEGO 4D film warming up. Light bounces off colorful models in MINILAND while children dart toward DUPLO slides; the place hums like a small, organized city built from imagination.
