While there are multiple LEGOLAND theme parks around the United States, a brand-new one is coming to Goshen, Orange County, New York — just 60 miles northwest of New York City. Shrink down to the size of toys and explore the new LEGOLAND Resort with your family.

 

Although there is no confirmed date for the opening, the new theme park is set to open later this year. It will be the largest LEGOLAND ever built, containing seven themed lands and more than 50 rides, attractions and experiences. Popular attractions from other LEGOLAND parks can also be found at the new location in New York — like Fire Academy and Splash Battle.

 

New York will feature a never-before-seen land, Bricktopia. Here, guests will shrink down to size of mini-figures to explore the land and ride Lego Factory Adventure and Duplo Express.

 

Stop by Miniland, where your family can explore a miniature version of New York City and Los Angeles; head to Ninjago World to battle the Great Devourer in an interactive challenge; watch the kids learn how to “drive” in LEGO Driving School; and much more.

 

Along with the theme park, a new hotel will also open. The hotel features many beloved LEGO characters and pirate- and castle-themed rooms.

 

For more information and to keep up to date on the park’s opening, sign up for the official newsletter or visit the website.
