A Giant LEGO Party Is Coming To New York And It’s Only A Road Trip Away

LEGO lovers, get ready — something big is building in Upstate New York!

LEGOLAND New York Resort in Goshen (just a couple hours down the Thruway!) is kicking off the first-ever global LEGO Festival, and you don’t want to miss it. Starting May 3 and running on weekends through June 8, this massive celebration is bringing millions of extra LEGO bricks, brand-new attractions, and a whole lot of creativity to the Hudson Valley, a perfect weekend trip from Central New York.

Organized by The LEGO Group and Merlin Entertainments, this one-of-a-kind event is happening not just in New York, but simultaneously at six other LEGOLAND parks around the world, including California, Florida, Denmark, Germany, Korea, and the UK.

What to Expect at the LEGOLAND Festival

The LEGO Festival is inspired by World Play Day on June 11 and it's all about celebrating the power of play. Visitors to LEGOLAND New York can explore five different themed zones of fun, including:

• Dance Zone – featuring a live DJ and tons of energy

• Gaming Zone – where interactive play takes center stage

• Music Zone – with LEGO instruments and sonic surprises

• Creative Zone – including Master Builder classes for kids and adults

• Chill Out Zone – featuring a tranquil LEGO Botanicals garden
