CARLSBAD, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — Legoland California Resort will host the world’s largest Lego festival this spring, taking the power of creativity to a whole new level.
The Carlsbad location joins six other Legoland resorts worldwide hosting the event, including Billund, Deutschland, Florida, Korea, New York and Windsor, according to a statement by the theme park Wednesday.
“The LEGO Festival will embody what LEGOLAND is all about – play as a way of life,” said Fiona Eastwood, CEO of Merlin Entertainments, in the statement.
The Lego Festival will be comprised of 49 new large-scale Lego models plus five zones to encourage guests to play in different ways, the park said.
The zones — music, creativity, dance, gaming and chill out — are meant to provide children and families with the opportunities to explore themes of social connection, self-expression and learning.
Beginning with a welcome photo opportunity at the resort’s “I heart Play” Lego model, each child is given a themed festival lanyard before traveling through all five zones. They end their play journey by making a “Play Pact” at the end of their experience.
The theme park added they are teaming up with local charities to give underserved children a special day of play.
The Lego Festival kicks off May 3 and will run for six weekends until World Play Day on June 11.
The experience is included with the purchase of regular admission tickets, which can be found on Legoland California Resort’s website and start at $79 per person.
World Play Day is celebrated by the Lego Group and Legoland resorts in recognition of the International Day of Play, which was adopted in March 2024.
