Legoland Is Coming to New York This Summer — Here's Everything We Know About the Park So Far

Update your summer 2021 plans to include Legoland once it opens.

As this mockup of the park shows, there will be eight themed "lands" within the park, including: The Factory, Bricktopia, Lego Ninjago World, Heartlake City, Knights' Kingdom, Lego City, Pirate Shores, and Miniland.

According to the press release: "The Factory is the beginning of the Legoland New York experience. Once you pass under the iconic arch, you're in a world that appears to be built of LEGO bricks – and your first stop is the Great Lego Adventure! This ride, which is exclusive to Legoland New York, will let you feel what it's like to be a Lego Minifigure, as you travel through the manufacturing process, into a box, and into the hands of a child just waiting to build!"

Additionally, the Lego Factory Adventure ride will turn each "rider into their very own Minifigure." According to a press release from Nov. 19, "The ride culminates with an on-screen reveal of each rider in shockingly-accurate Lego form – from glasses and hair style to shirt color and facial features."

Although anyone who loves Lego and amusement parks will have a blast at Legoland New York, the park is especially designed for kids ages 2-12 and their families.

According to the press release: "Miniland is . . . a massive panorama of Lego-built cities from across the country, with interactive features around every corner. Go from the Statue of Liberty to Times Square in just a few steps, and see bustling streets full of busy, animated pedestrians – even a moving subway!"

Goshen, where the 500-acre site for the park (pictured above) is located, is just 60 miles north of NYC.

Although the park will only be open seasonally from Spring to Fall each year, the hotel will be open year-round. "The Legoland Hotel is an experience in itself," Besterman said. "You'll find a restaurant with a kid-sized buffet table, a Castle play area, and children's entertainment every night. It's our way of extending the Legoland experience creating treasured memories for families."
