Beginning July 20, the popular LEGO® Festival returns to LEGOLAND New York and runs through August 16. Designed especially for kids, the festival features hands-on brick-building activities, impressive LEGO® creations, live entertainment, and opportunities to meet favorite LEGO® characters. Guests can also enjoy the park’s rides, attractions and shows during the event.

One of this year’s biggest additions is the new LEGO® Pokémon™ Play Zone, where visitors can be among the first to experience LEGO® Pokémon™ SMART™ Play sets. Families can participate in a 15-minute interactive Trainer Center experience, build a LEGO® Poké Ball, complete creative play challenges and snap photos with a life-sized LEGO® Pikachu model.
