  If it wasn't for free Military entry and half off for kids today I would be furious. It only cost us about $38/per child and $35 to park the car. The park remained nearly empty all day and there were no lines. Yay! We first went to the bottom of the park and quickly realized ALL rides we were looking for were closed for the season, including the firetrucks etc. "Driving school" was soo slow and dull that my 8 year old was not impressed. My 4 year old was also sad about the Jr. Driving school as his PowerWheel is 10x more thrilling. Its hard (at 4.5 years old) to watch a subling have such a nice track only to be told you can only sit and go in a circle at 1mph. I started to feel awful about bringing them to the park but still had hope. We ventured up the hill to find that EVERY thing around us cost more money (RC car pit, carnival games at $5/ball). We got to the ride my oldest was most excited about, the larger Dragon coaster, only to learn it was closed for November The employees standing there wont tell you that. The guy actually said he had no information if it would reopen that day. Dug into the website and saw it was closed for a few weeks for no real reason.. until it reopens for the Holiday Bricktacular. So, another let down. $tores and bubble $tands at the Castle were open of cour$e! Lines where we only had to wait for one rotation of riders still took FOREVER on some rides (Duplo train included). Seats next to children left open without asking for any solo riders.., broken sections left empty. Ugh. Most sections and even indoor building areas felt far too babyish for my 8 year old. At this point.. his dream trip had become lame. The lego he asked for at the store was $670 😂 We emotionally just quit lol. Many buttons for displays or little areas didn't seem to function. It almost became comical how poor everything was.. Again, if we hadn't received the Military tickets or this was a special birthday trip I'd be ANGRY. 5 hours of driving to be let down. My oldest did love trading mini figures (bought 5 boxes) with staff and at the stations. We loved the Lego Factory ride and the large store was great. Pretzels are delicious.

  🎃🧱 A Halloween Adventure Full of Magic, Laughter, and LEGO Joy! 🧱🎃 We had the most incredible time during our Halloween Brick-or-Treat stay at LEGOLAND New York Resort! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was festive, welcoming, and bursting with creativity. As two adults traveling without children, we were a little unsure how we’d be received—but wow, were we blown away. Every staff member treated us with kindness and enthusiasm, and not once did we feel out of place. It was clear that LEGOLAND is for everyone who loves fun, imagination, and a little bit of whimsy. 🏴‍☠️ Our LEGO Pirate Room was an absolute dream! From the treasure map on the wall to the cheeky pirate minifigures and themed decor, every detail was thoughtfully designed and delightfully immersive. We felt like kids again—laughing, exploring, and soaking in the playful spirit of the resort. 🍽️ The food? Amazing. Every meal was delicious, with options that were both satisfying and surprisingly elevated for a theme park setting. Whether we were grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal, the quality and flavor were top-notch. 👻 The Brick-or-Treat festivities were a blast! Costumed characters, spooky LEGO builds, and interactive experiences made the whole resort feel alive with Halloween magic. We danced, we built, we laughed—and we made memories that will stick with us for years to come. LEGOLAND New York Resort truly exceeded our expectations. It’s a place where joy knows no age, and where adults can rediscover the wonder of play without judgment. We can’t wait to return!

  We didn't stay at the Legoland NY hotel but only went to the amusement park. We usually get Gold passes since we come 4-5 times per year and it makes sense. General parking fee ($35) is included. Otherwise I don't think I would pay $135 per visit for 2 people. It's quite a rip off. There are not that many rides. 1/3 of them are usually closed. Several merchandise stores and food places. My son spends most time in one of the three indoor building spots. His favorite activities are driving the cars and the bigger roller-coaster (very exciting but extremely short). They close at 5 or 6 pm which is unfortunate because if you are coming from further away like we do (2.5 hrs away) it would have been nice to at least be able to stay until 7 or 8pm. Resort is in the middle of nowhere.

  This was supposed to be a birthday celebration for my son but it turned into a fiasco with zero help from Legoland customer service. The most popular rides, including the only one my kids planned to ride all day, the Dragon, was closed down and there was no warning on the app or website. CUstomer service said they can do nothing (not even a small credit to use toward the extremely overpriced treats like $8 “ for a tiny thing of popcorn or $5.49 bottles of soda)? Then we got stuck for almost 20 min on the Lego Factory ride and the ride was closed indefinitely afterwards (the only other ride my kids liked). Again, we got nothing as compensation than a one time fast pass for a ride on a day when there are no lines anyway because it’s freezing. Now my son feels like his birthday is ruined and both kids want to leave before noon. Together with the horrifically overpriced hotel with awful food options (think bad zoo cafeteria), this was almost 1k flushed down the toilet, plus a lot of sadness and frustration for the kids. Stay away! A vendor here told me this is a frequent issue with multiple rides breaking down.

  My husband and I had such a great time at Legoland with my son and his best friend! The park is huge but not overwhelming. We arrived at 2:30 p.m. and were able to experience everything we were interested in before closing. October is an ideal time to visit. They have trick-or-treating booths set up for the kids, and the lines weren't super long. We got on many rides with minimal wait times and found the seating comfortable for adults too. Our favorite experiences were the roller coaster, Miniland, Anchors Away, Build A Boat, Splash Battle, and Rogue Riders. The kids had zero complaints, though I think they wished the Driving School was a bit longer. We enjoyed snacks throughout the park, including the apple fries. Prices are what you'd expect from a theme park. Due to limited time, we ended up having dinner at a restaurant nearby. It was a nice perk to get free parking with the four tickets we purchased online. We'll definitely be back!
