LEGOLAND is bringing LEGO Festival back in 2026! The event adds a ton of brick-building activities and shows, and is included with admission, so you can do more on top of the rides and attractions at the park. The event is open to all ages and makes Legoland even more worth visiting, especially if you’re big on brick building. Check out the upcoming dates for all 3 US LEGOLAND locations:
- July 20 – August 30: Legoland California
- July 20 – August 16: Legoland Florida
- July 20 – August 16: Legoland New York

Is LEGO Festival included in Legoland admission ticket?
Yes, LEGO Festival is included in your Legoland admission ticket. We attended the LEGO Festival in California, but it is available at the 3 US locations. The activities, shows, and treats may be a little different from each park, but I’m sure it’s just as fun.

LEGO Festival Interactive Zones for 2026
There are 5 interactive zones at the LEGO Festival spread throughout the park that you can visit:
- New LEGO Pokemon Play Zone
- New F1 Thrill Zone
- Creative Zone
- Music Zone
- Chill Zone
About LEGO Pokemon Play Zone at LEGO Festival
Guests can be among the first to experience the all-new LEGO® Pokémon™ SMART™ Play sets, available exclusively at LEGO Festival. Kids can train like true Pokémon Trainers in the interactive LEGO® Pokémon™ Trainer Center, build their own LEGO® Poké Ball, and participate in hands-on LEGO SMART Play activities.
This exciting new addition combines creativity, play, and one of the world’s most beloved franchises into an unforgettable family experience.
About LEGO Formula1 Thrill Zone
The festival’s all-new F1®-themed zone lets families put their racing skills to the test with the LEGO® Formula 1® Brick Stop Challenge, race-inspired live entertainment, and opportunities to design, build, and test their own LEGO F1® cars. Guests can also celebrate victory alongside the LEGO® Pit Crew and snap photos on the winner’s podium.
Our LEGO Festival Experience
We attended LEGO Festival at Legoland California in 2025. Upon entering LEGOLAND theme park, we received a lanyard that holds activity cards.
We visited each interactive zone at LEGO Festival to participate in a LEGO building activity—from helping put a LEGO mosaic together, creating a backstage LEGO badge, helping build a city through the eyes of a kid, to making a LEGO Flower to go on the flower wall.
Our favorite was the mosaic and the flower wall, while my daughter, who is the Master Builder in our house, really enjoyed adding her LEGO touches to build a city.
You can get a stamp after each build, and after collecting all 5 stamps, you can head to the Play Pact Hub for a Play Pact ceremony to collect your freebies (poster and sticker).
To make a Play Pact, raise your right hand—curved like a LEGO minifigure’s—and make a special promise to keep the spirit of play alive, even after you leave the park.
You can finish all the LEGO builds in an hour or two while the shows are available at various times throughout the day. I like the big seating area at the Music Zone where you can watch the Battle of the Bands, while kids really enjoyed watching DJ GoodVibes at the Dance Zone and Adventure Peely at the Gaming Zone.
Besides enjoying the LEGO Festival activities, we also went on different rides, enjoyed the LEGOLAND water park for a few hours, and ate a lot.
The new Driving School (ride) is also in a new location with a new look, as the old location made way for the addition of a new land – LEGO Galaxy, where the new indoor roller coaster and other new rides are located. Check out my Tips for Riding Galactocoaster.

LEGO Festival at Legoland Hotel (Florida Only):
Head to LEGO Festival in style with fun temporary tattoos, glitter, and more—all included in your hotel stay. Festival Transformation Stations are open from 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. on LEGO Festival event days at the LEGOLAND Florida Hotel lobby, exclusively to hotel guests. Check Legoland Florida Hotel Deals to save on accommodation.
If you’re visiting San Diego, check Legoland California Hotel Deals to save on a hotel room; they may not have the Festival Transformation Station, though.
Age Requirement for LEGO Festival
Keep in mind that while LEGOLAND is primarily designed for kids ages 2 to 12, there’s no requirement to visit or join in the LEGO Festival activities. Our oldest, who practically grew up at LEGOLAND and is now a teenager, still had an amazing time participating in the building challenges. Honestly, don’t be surprised if she ends up working for LEGO one day—either designing sets or creating theme park attractions!
Our youngest, on the other hand, had just started riding roller coasters, so she spent most of her time riding the Technic Coaster ride at LEGOLAND during this visit.
