What to expect at the new LEGO Festival at LEGOLAND Florida
The event creators were looking through a child’s eyes as they put this event together, so playtime was a top priority with dancing, music, building, and gaming!
There are five immersive zones at the Festival and more than 498 new, big build LEGO models, which are designed to inspire play in different ways. Here’s the best part—it’s all included with admission!
Once you enter the front gate, head over to the LEGO Festival table to pick up your festival lanyard, which will highlight top activities at each zone for you to complete to earn a stamp. And every stop includes some sort of LEGO build, so there are plenty of opportunities to tap into your creativity!

As you make your way through the festival, be sure to keep your festival lanyard handy so you can get a stamp at each stop! It's sort of like a passport to fun!
