• This is the first LEGOLAND Discovery Center in New York State, the first in the New York City metropolitan area, and the first in the Northeastern United States.
• This is the only LEGOLAND Discovery Center whose Miniland does not reflect the city it is in (it does, however, reflect the metropolitan area). The Miniland depicts New York City and its famous landmarks, even though the Center is in Yonkers, a significant city in its own right.
