According to an announcement from Federal Realty Investment Trust, the real estate company that's developing Assembly Row in Somerville's Assembly Square, the LEGOLAND Discovery Center will be a "fun, highly interactive educational two- to three-hour indoor experience specifically designed for families with children 3-10 years old."
It will include:

- LEGO-building workshops
- Themed play areas
- Party rooms
- LEGO MINILAND, featuring LEGO versions of famous Boston buildings, such as the Prudential Center and Quincy Market.
Around the world, there are other LEGOLAND Discovery Centers in Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan, and LEGO also has six LEGOLAND Parks, the website says.
According to the Boston Globe, Nike and Le Creuset, the cooking store, have also recently signed deals to come to Assembly Row.
