The much-anticipated Lego Discovery Center at Springfield Town Center (6500 Franconia-Springfield Parkway) will open on Aug. 9, meeting its promised summer launch date.

The company announced the grand opening date yesterday (Monday), inviting community members to sign up for its newsletter for access to pre-sale tickets.

“Be one of the first families to visit us from Thursday, August 10th through Sunday, August 13th with a ‘First to Play’ ticket,” Lego Discovery Center D.C. said.

Tickets will go on sale for the general public on Thursday (June 15). Prices start at $28.99 for a standard admission ticket. Higher-priced packages come with a Lego collectible and digital photos.

The announcement was first reported by NBC4.

Located near the mall’s main entrance facing Loisdale Road, the 32,000-square-foot facility broke ground in December. It will feature an interactive play area, a Lego Mini World with sets built from more than 1.5 million bricks, a 4D theater, a train, carousel and more.

Also expected to open at Springfield Town Center this year is a 30,000-square-foot Burlington clothing store, though an exact date hasn’t yet been confirmed. In March, the mall welcomed a Day & Night Cereal Bar.

The mall’s merry-go-round could also potentially be revived this August, aligning with the Lego opening.

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!

Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.

Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.

Plus, when you buy a gift certificate from Well-Paid Maids, you’re supporting a living-wage cleaning company. That means cleaners get paid a starting wage of $24 an hour and get access to benefits, like 24 days of PTO and health insurance.
