It’s beginning to look a lot like Brick-mas! LEGOLAND Florida Resort is preparing for it’s most wonderful event of the year, HOLIDAYS at LEGOLAND presented by Hallmark Channel.

The park will receive a seasonal makeover and bring new entertainment, meet-and-greets, and more all included in general admission. Guests can enjoy:

Located in the heart of LEGO^® City, our giant LEGO^® tree comes to life each event evening with dazzling lights that dance along to holiday tunes. For the first time, guests can enjoy this interactive spectacle in full 360-degrees, making it a magical experience from every angle.

Entertainment that “Sleighs”

Brand-new original stage shows will add even more holiday joy this season, as well as the return of fan favorite, The Very Merry Mix-Up, where Mrs. Claus’s crew of holiday helpers return for some frosty fun with the help of LEGO^® Gingerbread Man inside the LEGOLAND^® Fun Town Theater.

Kids’ New Year’s Eve Celebration

Ring in 2022 with our Kids’ New Year’s Eve fireworks. Colorful bursts of LEGO^® bricks light the night sky over Lake Eloise, at a kid-friendly time of 8 p.m. every night from Dec. 26 to Dec. 31

The event is sure to build memories to last a lifetime! HOLIDAYS at LEGOLAND presented by Hallmark Channel will run November 26-28, and December 4-5, 11-12, 18-19, 24-31 from 10am to 7pm – and the park will add an extra hour of festive fun for it’s New Years Eve event from December 26-31, closing at 8pm those nights.

Rides Revealed for Brand New Peppa Pig Theme Park

29 July 2021 by Chris Ryan Leave a Comment

Earlier this year, Hasbro provided details on their brand new Peppa Pig Theme Park coming to Florida in 2022. Today, the company announced the rides and attractions we can expect to see when the park opens!

Designed to be the ultimate day for little ones, the new theme park combines interactive rides and themed play grounds with character shows and an indoor cinema for quieter moments.

Every corner of the charming new park is crafted with preschoolers in mind, from their first roller coaster rides with their parents and free fair games for the whole family, to an all-terrain course where they will pedal tricycles through a sensory-rich trail and a colorful splash pad that celebrates “muddy puddles” jumping fun!

Through every experience, families will snort, giggle and create their family’s first theme park memories together with Peppa and her friends.

The map provided gives us some details of the rides and attractions coming to the park, including Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster, Grandad Dog’s Pirate Boat Ride, and Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride.

While there are many rides and shows announced, families should know that the park is designed with little ones in mind, so all experiences will be child friendly. Many of the rides are interactive, and the park is also set to include several sensory-rich experiences and shows to keep children of all ages entertained.

Hasbro also announced that annual passes and vacation packages for the park are available now. For travel dates starting April 1, 2022, families can book two nights and receive a third night free! The vacation packages offered also include a stay at any of the LEGOLAND Florida Resort hotels, which are all located just steps away from Peppa Pig Theme Park.

Additionally, Annual Passes are on sale now and include free parking. To learn more and book now about the Annual Passes or book a vacation package, visit PeppaPigThemePark.com/Florida

We’ll be sure to follow the Peppa Pig Theme Park as more updates come out, and you can click here to see all our announcements from it.

7 June 2021 by Chris Ryan Leave a Comment

A year that’s already been crazy just got even crazier. The all-new, family-friendly LEGO VIDIYO Music Fest is coming to LEGOLAND^® Florida Resort this Labor Day Weekend, September 4 through 6. ‘DJ L.L.A.M.A’ – the musical superstar behind LEGO^® VIDIYO™ – will be making a special appearance at LEGOLAND^®Florida Resort for one weekend only as part of his newly announced world tour.

LEGOLAND writes,

L.L.A.M.A, whose name is an acronym for Love, Laughter And Music Always is the first LEGO^® minifigure to sign a deal with a record label and the first artist to release a song via LEGO^® VIDIYO™, will be touring five LEGOLAND^® Resorts across the world to perform on stage. L.L.A.M.A is a global citizen, originally from the Andean region of South America, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of making music that keeps people happy.

The figure is part of the innovative music video maker experience by LEGO, titled VIDIYO.

VIDIYO is a brand-new way to play that helps children dream big by directing, producing, starring in, and safely sharing their own music videos, featuring tracks from across the globe, led by chart hits by Universal Music Group’s unrivalled artists.

L.L.A.M.A., who is featured in the augmented reality experience, also appears in the new DJ Llama BeatBox kit, available here.

And big DJ L.L.A.M.A. fans will be able to see even more from the artist later this year at the LEGO VIDIYO Music Fest.

This vibrant, interactive music festival will feature “dance-off” parties, interactive games, and pop-up performances. Colorful photo opportunities include larger-than-life scenes, and guests are encouraged to dress up as their favorite music artist to win prizes.

L.L.A.M.A will headline the music fest with two performances on each of the three event days on a specially themed stage. During the three-day extravaganza, families will also learn more about the world of LEGO VIDIYO while they get creative and produce their own content.

All of the event activities during the festival are included with LEGOLAND Theme Park general admission and select Annual Passes. Those looking to learn more details or purchase passes to the park can do so on the event’s website.

NIK WALLENDA to Perform Stunt at LEGOLAND’s Pirate Island Hotel Opening

10 March 2020 by Chris Ryan Leave a Comment

World-renown daredevil Nik Wallenda has announced that he will be ‘walking the plank’ at the grand opening of LEGOLAND Florida Resort’s all-new Pirate Island Hotel. The stunt is scheduled to air live on ABC for all to view!

LEGOLAND Florida Resort writes,

In true pirate-fashion, Wallenda will “walk the plank” from inside the theme park to the new hotel to kick off the resort’s opening festivities on Thursday, April 16. LEGOLAND Florida Resort park and hotel guests are invited to take part in the fun and watch the nail-biting stunt safely from the ground.

This event will be no “walk in the park” for the Wallenda Team as they will construct a high wire longer than 500 feet for the walk. They will also work closely with LEGOLAND master model builders to craft LEGO bricks onto Wallenda’s 28-foot balance pole.

LEGOLAND and Nik Wallenda fans alike can stay tuned to Facebook and Instagram as the park releases additional details on how to watch the stunt unfold live on Thursday, April 16.

NEW! LEGOLAND^® Pirate Island Hotel Grand Opening – April 17

Located just 130 kid-steps from the theme park entrance, LEGOLAND Pirate Island Hotel will feature 150 LEGO-filled rooms (including four suites), a heated pool (complete with LEGO soft bricks to build in the pool), hundreds of LEGO models, exclusive character experiences and in-room LEGO treasure hunts. Similar to the popular LEGOLAND Hotel, each room will include two separate spaces: a kid’s sleeping area and an adult area.

The five-story hotel will house the pirate-themed Shipwreck Restaurant with family-style dining, Smuggler’s Bar for adult swashbucklers, an entertainment area with kid-friendly nightly programming and LEGO play areas. Directly outside the entrance to the hotel, a pirate shipwreck will greet guests and offer a unique photo opportunity.

LEGOLAND Florida Resort has also prepared a brief video to tell us more about the event!
