Address

LEGOLAND Discovery Center is located at Decks Tokyo Beach Island Mall. Like most parts of central Tokyo, it’s best to get to the center using public transit. Parking can be a hassle, and road tolls and parking fees add up.

Driving

If you must drive, the trip from Shinjuku takes around 30 minutes and involves paying tolls. Type the address into your GPS app for the fastest route on the day. You can park at the Decks Tokyo Beach paid parking lot.

Public transportation

The closest station is Odaiba Kaihin Koen on the Yurikamome automated transit line, which is a 2-minute walk away. The Tokyo Teleport station on the Rinkai Line is a 5-minute walk. Buses also stop nearby, but these are usually harder for tourists to navigate than the trains.

Come around opening time (10am) to enjoy the center for longer—and to have a good play before kids get hungry at lunchtime.

Best days to visit

Come midweek to avoid the crowds, as there are often time limits on weekends.

Since this is an indoor attraction, you can visit any time of year. Tokyo in general tends to be busiest with tourists in the spring and fall.
