When is Brick-or-Treat at LEGOLAND?
Brick-or-Treat is being celebrated on select days September 16-October 29, 2023.

- October: 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29 (Saturdays and Sundays)
While the event begins when the park opens at 10 am, most of the trick-or-treating candy stations open at 2 pm so there’s no rush to get there right at 10 am.
However, arriving early will give you more time to visit with more characters and experience the live shows, along with the rides you get to experience every day at LEGOLAND Florida.
Is Brick-or-Treat included with admission?
YES! Brick-or-Treat is included with admission to the park, so there’s no extra fee.
How much are LEGOLAND Florida tickets?
Single-day tickets start at $84 per person, but also keep in mind you will also need to pay for parking which is why we love the annual pass option. If you think you are going to go more than a few times, the annual passes are your best option. We love going to LEGOLAND for just the water park on super hot days!
You can also take advantage of this awesome Monster-to-Merry season ticket that gets you unlimited admission with no blockout dates through Christmas Day for $119!
You can also pick up an annual pass to play all year long! We bought a Gold Pass which includes LEGOLAND Florida and its Water Park along with free parking. This pass is $239.99. There are four different LEGOLAND Florida annual pass options.
Can kids wear a costume to Brick-or-Treat?
Yes!! Kids can absolutely wear a costume, in fact, it’s encouraged. Just make sure they’ll be comfortable since it can get hot –we live in Florida, after all.

When you arrive at the park on event day, be sure to pick up an event booklet which will walk you through each area with a cute map.
Since we like to plan ahead, our guide includes the times and length of each event which will be super helpful for you as you plan out your day.

Are there sensory-friendly options at Brick-of-Treat?
Yes. In fact, LEGOLAND Florida was recently designated as a Certified Autism Center. There are Brick-or-Treat specific sensory guides and alternative treats are also available at guest services.
What else is there to do at LEGOLAND Florida?
While you’re walking around the themed areas of Brick-or-Treat, be on the lookout for Halloween-themed decor, especially over at MINILAND USA!
There are a ton of rides at LEGOLAND Florida, in fact you probably won’t get to them all in one visit, which is why the annual pass is such a great option. There are 44 different rides and attractions to experience at LEGOLAND Florida. We also love that there are several indoor play spaces as well to cool down or seek shelter from the rain.
Also, the world’s FIRST Peppa Pig Theme Park opened up next door earlier this year. It is a separate park and requires separate admission, but you can purchase dual park tickets and annual passes.
Where is there to stay at LEGOLAND Florida?
There are several hotels in the Winter Haven area, however, LEGOLAND has three LEGO-themed hotels for you to choose from: The LEGOLAND Hotel, Pirate Island Hotel , and LEGOLAND Beach Retreat.
It can be a splurge to book a room on some nights, so plan ahead if you can to secure the best deals. LEGOLAND is also offering a Brick-or-Treat Hotel and Ticket package.
What else is there to do near LEGOLAND Florida and Peppa Pig Theme Park?
The parks are about a half-hour drive from the gorgeous Bok Tower Gardens which has a cute children’s play area along with cafes and plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the beauty of the land.
If you really want to go all out on this family vacation, you can also book an overnight stay for a dude ranch glamping experience at Westgate River Ranch and Rodeo which is about an hour away when you factor in traffic.
