Standing next to a 9-foot Lego replica of City Hall and the Liberty Place towers, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney on Thursday announced the opening date for the new Legoland Discovery Center Philadelphia.

The new Legoland will open Thursday, April 6 at the Plymouth Meeting Mall.

Legoland broke ground in late October by pouring 50,000 LEGO bricks at the construction site.
