Part of the Merlin Entertainments family, this Discovery Center follows the chain’s format—Miniland, themed rides, interactive labs, and rotating exhibits. The site sits in Yonkers’ Ridge Hill shopping district, a modern redevelopment on a former industrial parcel that’s shifted the neighborhood toward mixed-use retail and green space. The bricks themselves are an exercise in design and patience; Miniland models reflect New York’s architecture at a child-friendly scale while DUPLO® Village gives toddlers generous space to experiment.
Plan practically: admission is for a fixed 3-hour session, and some play areas require socks. The venue is stroller- and wheelchair-accessible, and there’s ample parking at Ridge Hill. Arrive early in the day or on weekday afternoons to avoid school-group crowds; bring a charged phone for mobile tickets and photos. Expect short lines for Merlin’s Apprentice and Kingdom Quest, but allow time for kids to linger at build tables and the 4D cinema. Food options are onsite and nearby in Ridge Hill if you need a break between sessions.
