New Offer Gives a Safe-to-Play Experience and Exclusive Water Park Access to Hotel Guests

CARLSBAD, Calif. (February 18, 2021) – Unleash your imagination, sleep like royalty and immerse yourself in a creative world of LEGO® during LEGOLAND® California Resort’s “Build ‘N Play” Days starting March 5.  This new experience offers guests a chance to explore play structures within the Park such as Kai’s Spinners and Cole’s Rock Climb in LEGO® NINJAGO® World and DUPLO® Playtown, building activities, a scavenger hunt in Miniland U.S.A., live entertainment, character meet and greets, shopping at The Big Shop and more!

With ticket prices starting at $19.99, Build ‘N Play activities include a Miniland dance party where guests can do the LEGO limbo, design their own Minifigure on the roof of the Model Shop, rock out to live musical appearances in Fun Town and taste crazy food concoctions such as deconstructed S’mores and colorful churros. Two building activities have been designed to stretch children’s imaginations with separate sanitized brick packs and a space for children’s creations to stay on display each weekend.
   
“Over the last 12 months we have had to reimagine the world as it is and rebuild, so to speak, our world as we know it,” said LEGOLAND California Resort President Kurt Stocks.  “Build ‘N Play Days gives children and their families the opportunity to reimagine their world using the power of play in a fun and safe environment. We’re eager and ready to open the rest of our Park responsibly as soon as possible, but, until then, we know our guests will make memories during this experience.”
