What to expect at LEGO Festival at LEGOLAND Florida in 2026
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, and building!
There are five immersive zones at the Festival, and you can expect all-new content in the Play Zone and Thrill Zone this year. 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 wristband and map, which will highlight top activities at each zone. And every stop includes some sort of LEGO build, so there are plenty of opportunities to tap into your creativity!
The LEGO Festival Zones:
Here is what our friends at LEGOLAND Florida are sharing about what we can expect this year. (In their words, for now. We'll update in our words once we experience the event on opening day!)
Chill Out Zone:
Unwind and explore the serenity of a secret garden in this quieter zone designed for a peaceful, plant-filled escape. In LEGO® Botanicals “Build & Bloom,” guests can build a LEGO Botanicals flower and add it to a growing display including LEGO brick butterflies and bug build – brand new for 2026.
There’s also a Gardener LEGO model to meet and the “Playtime with Hopsy” chilled-out stage show.
Music Zone:
Turn up the volume and rock out in the Music Zone featuring the “Battle of the Bands” show, where Rockstars and Popstars go head-to-head. Take center stage in a high-energy space for kids to join in and sing along. Families can also add to a large festival mosaic build, spot selfie-friendly LEGO models, and meet characters including Melody Raye and Lyric Santos after the show.
Creative Zone:
Get hands-on in this unique building zone designed to help kids test ideas and see creations take shape. All-new highlights include The Creatureverse brick build tables and Master Model Builder sessions such as “The Anything Animal” and “Let’s Create a Creature.”
Plus, photo moments with the festival LEGO® Panda and LEGO® Peacock that guests can add LEGO brick build “feathers” to – it's a colorful, creative playground.
Thrill Zone:
Hold on to your nerve for this soon-to-be-announced sports-themed, high-energy Thrill Zone planned for 2026!
Play Zone:
Power up in the “ultimate gaming fan zone” experience to be revealed soon.
NEW Build Competition in 2026
For extra LEGO Festival bragging rights, guests can participate in the 3 Build Challenge and collect stamps on the LEGO Festival map as they conquer each zone.
It’s as easy as Build, Collect, Reward – those completing three or more exclusive LEGO® Festival brick-building activities can pick up a 3‑in‑1 LEGO® Creator gift before heading home.
Plus, there’s a LEGO Insiders points giveaway available for grown-up builders, too.
“We’re delighted to welcome LEGO Festival back for a second year. It’s designed as a vibrant multi-area experience around the park, where children lead the way through play – with dedicated zones, build activities, live moments and plenty of chances to meet many different LEGO characters,” said Brian Bacica, Vice President of LEGOLAND Florida Resort. “And because it sits within the wider resort experience, families can mix epic festival activities with rides and attractions throughout the day.”
