After a year delay due to the pandemic, LEGOLAND New York finally opened to the public in the middle of summer 2021. Today they announced April 8th as the official opening date for the 2022 season. This year will be the new resort’s first full operating (and extended) season and they’ve got some exciting new additions in the works.
“We’re always looking to add something new to the LEGOLAND New York experience,” said LEGOLAND New York Resort Divisional Director Stephanie Johnson. “For our first full operating season, our team has been hard at work on new shows, new attractions, and new offerings for our biggest fans. Everything we do is for the love of fun and we aim to build unforgettable memories that will keep families coming back to our Resort again and again.”
The biggest addition to LEGOLAND New York in 2022 is the opening of an all-new water playground in LEGO® City. According to a press release, “the ultimate oasis to cool off after a day spent riding, driving, climbing and building under the summer sun, guests can build and race a LEGO boat, splash on a water slide and be doused by a giant water bucket when the playground opens this summer.”
Besides returning favorites like the LEGO Factory Adventure Ride, additional #NewFor2022 highlights at LEGOLAND New York Resort include:
New Entertainment Venues (Summer): Families can sing, dance and clap along during LEGOLAND New York’s brand-new shows: Academy of Arrrrr, Detective Trace and Earth BEAT! They can be seen at two newly built venues in LEGO City and LEGO Pirates.
First Annual Red, White & BOOM (July 4th): The summer heats up with LEGOLAND New York’s first-annual star-spangled Fourth of July celebration, Red, White and BOOM! This Independence Day, the bricktastic celebration will include the first fireworks ever at LEGOLAND New York Resort.
Return of Brick-or-Treat (October): LEGOLAND New York’s signature Halloween event, Brick-or-Treat, is back and better than ever with a new 4D movie! LEGOLAND® New York’s built-for-kids Halloween spectacular will run weekends in October.
First-Ever Christmas Bricktacular (mid-November through December): For the first time ever, LEGOLAND New York Resort will be open through December 2022! Families celebrating the holidays will have the opportunity to meet LEGO® Santa and enjoy a series of seasonal activities, builds and adventures throughout the Resort from mid-November through December.
What’s really exciting to me is the resort is definitely listening to guest feedback. It’s awesome to hear one of the items on my improvement wish list – more connecting paths to make the park easier to navigate – is getting crossed off already! “LEGOLAND New York is making it even easier for guests to experience everything the Resort has to offer, with brand-new paths and stairways that will connect MINILAND with LEGO NINJAGO World, LEGO Castle and LEGO City. A new food and beverage location will also be located in this “hub” area so families can refuel on the go.”

If you’re visiting LEGOLAND New York, I highly recommend staying in the LEGOLAND Hotel, which unlike the theme park is open year round.
