Want to program robots to plant flowers, design and shoot a stop-motion film, create your own personal minifigure, build and race a vehicle, or bring a creature to life on screen?

Sad about leaving? You get to capture memories from your day in a couple of ways. Firstly, you can snap photos of your creations with the many photo kiosks around the zones. They are all captured through your ticket. Then, you also receive a custom 6-brick LEGO design to take home. Not to mention, a bag of LEGO to build the creation!

Reserve + Ride Pass

Our family was able to ride and do everything we wanted multiple times during a day and a half in the park, thanks to investing in the Reserve and Ride pass one of the days. Note: head to the Information desk immediately upon park entry, as a team member must activate it for you. This takes a few minutes. We were even able to time out the rides with little-to-no waiting in line to make the most of our visit.
