Legoland celebrates Halloween all month
Help build a big spider, meet a mad scientist and more
October has arrived, along with everything ghosts, ghouls and pumpkin. Theme parks throughout Florida break out spooky and scary events for the season, including Brick or Treat at the theme park closest to South Florida: Legoland.
Unlike some other Halloween events, Brick or Treat is not a specially ticketed event. All Legoland parkgoers can enjoy the festivities, which run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays throughout October. Florida residents should note, however, that Legoland’s new Seasonal Play Pass is not valid on special event weekends.
Legoland’s Brick or Treat is also open on Halloween, but without the shows and fireworks that are included on weekends. For more information go to Legoland Florida visitors can pose for pictures alongside some great seasonal figures on Brick or Treat weekends, including a Lego mad scientist.

Lego Candy Scavenger Hunt
Pick up a form outside the Studio Store and then find the giant Lego candy corn hidden throughout the Lego Miniland at the center of the park. This is a great way to keep kids moving through the exhibit, which is filled with buttons that turn on engines, spray water, play music and more. Just challenge your little one to find the next candy corn, and he’ll stop trying to squirt his sister … if you’re lucky. Once you’ve found all the candy, return your form to claim a special Brick-or-Treat brick and enter to win a grand prize. 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
