Beyond the birthday festivities, families can also enjoy a series of new bricktastic adventures this summer, including LEGOLAND New York’s first-ever July 4th Red, White & BOOM! celebration, new entertainment shows, new characters, and new LEGO models. The fun continues with select LEGOLAND Parks launching a new “Play YOUR Way” campaign across the globe in honor of the 90th anniversary. “Play YOUR Way” introduces children to five different play types (designer, maker, explorer, storyteller, or dreamer) and encourages them to get hands-on with various in-Park touchpoints such as playful quizzes so they can discover their play type. There will even be “Master Players” that have mastered all five play types journeying throughout the Parks in magical costumes to surprise guests.
LEGOLAND New York Resort takes kids on a journey through seven LEGO® themed lands, including Brick Street, Bricktopia, LEGO® NINJAGO® World, LEGO Castle, LEGO City, MINILAND and LEGO Pirates. Built for families with children ages two through 12, can’t-miss highlights of a LEGOLAND New York vacation include transforming into a Minifigure on the world premiere LEGO Factory Adventure ride, chasing the red wizard out of the castle on the signature Dragon coaster, and mastering the power of the elements with Master Wu on LEGO® NINJAGO® The Ride.
