Family travelers visiting LEGOLAND California this spooky season are in for all tree-ts and no tricks. This year’s Brick-or-Treat Halloween celebration at LEGOLAND California Resort features a brand-new LEGO-built Halloween Tree.

 

Guests can find this 17-foot-tall, 12-foot-wide tree in the park’s The Beginning Area. The tree is the park’s largest LEGO creation by brick count and was designed to greet families as they enter the park for an unforgettable Halloween celebration.

 

The Halloween Tree features life-like features including moving eyes and eyebrows that follow guests as they enter the park. This larger-than-life tree also features twinkling lights, cobwebs, ghosts and fun pumpkins. The creation was made of 680,963 LEGO bricks that took five Master Model Builders more than 4,000 hours to complete.

 

Brick-or-Treat runs select weekends from Sept. 20 to Nov. 1, and features Halloween events like live shows, candy stations with treats provided by Haribo, meet-and-greets with LEGO monster characters and not-so-scary-themed additions to fan-favorite LEGOLAND attractions. In addition to the new Halloween Tree, other new events include Lord Vampyre’s V.I.M. Costume Party, with a theme celebrating the park’s new space-themed indoor coaster debuting early next year.

 

Take advantage of early booking and save up to $20 on admission tickets. For those looking to stay overnight, book the Hotel + Ticket offer and enjoy 20 percent off rooms.
