HI-YA!
Oh, sorry about that.
I’ve been practicing my skills to “Become the Ninja” at LEGO® NINJAGO Days! With so many challenges and activities, I want to make sure I’m in the best shape to join our ninja heroes.
But if you want to know a secret from our Masters, the best way to unlock your “inner ninja” is to eat like one! So, to help you charge up, you’ll want to “go, ninja, go” to grab all these delicious dishes.
Bao Bun “S’Mores”
I bet you didn’t know that our ninja masters LOVE s’mores!
Yes, they’re the perfect summer snack, but these aren’t just your basic campfire creations. We load up fried bao buns with warm chocolate and then top them off with marshmallow whip and graham cracker dust.
It’s one of my favorites at NINJAGO Days and trust me, you’ll come back to Ninja Kitchen many times for “s’more” of these!
Pork Belly Yakisoba
If there’s one thing I have learned about ninja training, having a well-balanced meal is super important not only for your physical ninja skills but also for your mind!
Our Pork Belly Yakisoba is the perfect meal to keep your energy up and your mind alert!
In case you haven’t heard of Yakisoba, it is a popular Japanese noodle dish. Fun fact, Yakisoba actually translates to “fried noodle”.
Our Yakisoba is topped with crispy pork belly, vegetables, kale, cabbage, onion and drizzled in a sweet Sosu sauce.
This dish is a MUST have, that you can also pick up at Ninja Kitchen.
Ponzu Crimini Burger
The Ponzu Crimini Burger the ultimate burger for any ninja! Our juicy beef burger is topped with ponzu glaze, red onion, marinated crimini mushrooms, and garlic aioli. Plus, it comes with a side of fries...because Lloyd needs his fries before working on his Spinjitzu.
You can score this sizzling specialty burger at Burger Kitchen.
Kids’ Candy Sushi
In case you’re new to NINJAGO Days, our Kids’ Candy Sushi is a pretty big deal.
Our sushi is made of kispy treat "rice" with gummy fish. And to make this sushi dish even sweeter, we’ve added sides of chocolate sauce, candy "pickled ginger", and candy "wasabi".
Our ninjas agree, this candy sushi is just *chef’s kiss* so don’t miss our fan favorite at both Ultimate Sandwich Builder and Granny’s Apple Fries.
Wonton Chip Nachos
Alright, ninjas, you may have had nachos but TRUST ME – you have NEVER had nachos like these!
We use special fried wonton chips and top them with savory teriyaki pulled chicken, cabbage slaw, and yuzu aioli!
They’re INSANE. But if you don’t believe me, I heard Kai is a pretty big fan...
You can also snag these at Ultimate Sandwich Builder and Granny’s Apple Fries.
Well, I’m starving...but I should really get back to my ninja training so I can impress Master Wu.
Can’t wait to see you all "unlock your inner Ninja” during LEGO® Ninjago® Days, June 5-6, 12-13, 19-20.
Kids, the newsletter information below this is for your parents. Please do not complete or provide any personal information unless you are at least 13.
Continue Your Ninja Adventure at LEGOLAND Florida Resort
The ninja training does not have to end when the meal is over. Today, families visiting LEGOLAND® Florida Resort can continue the adventure in LEGO® NINJAGO® World, where hands on activities and interactive experiences bring the world of the ninja to life.
Whether your little builders are already LEGO NINJAGO fans or they are discovering the characters for the first time, this themed area is an easy addition to a day at the park. Kids can test their balance, climbing skills and creativity before taking on one of the park's most interactive attractions, LEGO® NINJAGO® The Ride.
And the best part? You do not need to wait for a special event to enjoy the NINJAGO experience at LEGOLAND Florida Resort.
Train Like a Ninja in LEGO NINJAGO World
LEGO NINJAGO World is designed for families who want to step into the action. The area combines physical challenges, LEGO building and an interactive ride inspired by the popular LEGO NINJAGO characters.
Here are a few experiences to look for during your visit:
| LEGO NINJAGO Experience | What Families Can Do | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| LEGO NINJAGO The Ride | Use hand movements to unleash elemental powers and battle villains | Families and kids who love interactive rides |
| Kai's Spinners | Practice balance and agility on spinning platforms | Young ninjas |
| Cole's Rock Climb | Test strength and determination on a climbing wall | Active kids |
| Zane's Temple Build | Build with LEGO bricks and work together | Creative builders |
| Wu's Warehouse | Browse LEGO NINJAGO sets, souvenirs and merchandise | LEGO fans |
LEGO NINJAGO World is located near LEGO City, making it easy to include in a larger day of exploring the park.
Take on LEGO NINJAGO The Ride
If your family is looking for an interactive LEGO attraction, make time for LEGO NINJAGO The Ride.
This family friendly dark ride puts you in the middle of the action. Instead of simply sitting back and watching the adventure, you use hand movements to help unleash elemental powers such as fireballs and lightning as you battle villains.
There is no minimum height requirement for LEGO NINJAGO The Ride. Guests under 48 inches must ride with a supervising companion who is at least 14 years old and 48 inches or taller.
For families comparing LEGOLAND Florida rides and attractions, this is one to put high on the list if your kids enjoy interactive experiences. It is also a fun attraction to experience more than once because riders can keep track of their scores and challenge their family members to beat them.
More LEGO NINJAGO Fun Beyond the Ride
One of the things that makes LEGO NINJAGO World different from a traditional themed area is that the experience is not limited to one attraction.
Kids can move between hands on activities, LEGO building and the ride, giving them plenty of opportunities to play and explore. Families should plan to spend at least an hour exploring LEGO NINJAGO World, depending on ride wait times and how long kids want to spend at each activity.
What Else Can You Do at LEGOLAND Florida?
Once your family has completed ninja training, there are plenty of other things to do at LEGOLAND Florida Resort.
The park is designed primarily for families with kids ages 2 to 12 and features more than 50 rides and attractions. That means a LEGO NINJAGO themed adventure can easily become part of a full day of family fun.
| If Your Child Loves... | Try These LEGOLAND Florida Experiences |
|---|---|
| LEGO NINJAGO | LEGO NINJAGO The Ride and LEGO NINJAGO World |
| Roller coasters | Galacticoaster, The Dragon and Coastersaurus |
| Building | LEGO Ferrari Build & Race and Imagination Zone |
| Driving | Driving School and other LEGO City attractions |
| Water adventures | LEGOLAND Water Park attractions |
| Animals and marine life | SEA LIFE Florida |
| LEGO models | MINILAND USA |
| Hands on adventure | Lost Kingdom Adventure |
From interactive attractions to family friendly coasters, the park offers options for different ages and interests. Current LEGOLAND Florida Resort attractions include LEGO NINJAGO The Ride, Lost Kingdom Adventure, The Dragon, Coastersaurus, Driving School and the new Galacticoaster.
Add Galacticoaster to Your Family Adventure
For families returning to LEGOLAND Florida Resort, there is also a new reason to look toward the stars.
Galacticoaster is an indoor family coaster that launched in 2026 and gives riders a LEGO space adventure inside the main park. It is a particularly useful addition to an itinerary for families who want to mix interactive attractions like LEGO NINJAGO The Ride with a traditional roller coaster experience.
That makes it possible to create a day that includes everything from ninja battles to roller coaster thrills without leaving the park.
Where Should You Eat at LEGOLAND Florida Resort?
The dishes featured in the original guest blogger story above were created for the LEGO NINJAGO Days event, so menus and dining locations can change over time.
For your current visit, check the LEGOLAND Florida Resort dining options before heading to the park. That way, your family can find the latest available meals, snacks and treats while planning your day.
A good strategy is to build meals and snack breaks into your itinerary rather than waiting until everyone is hungry. After a morning of rides and activities, lunch can be a natural time to slow down before heading back out for more attractions.
And if your kids are still thinking about LEGO after lunch, there is always another adventure around the corner.
Shop for Your Next LEGO NINJAGO Adventure
No ninja mission is complete without a souvenir.
Families can visit Wu's Warehouse in LEGO NINJAGO World to browse LEGO NINJAGO sets, costumes, souvenirs and other merchandise. It is an easy stop to add before leaving the area, especially for kids who want to take a little piece of their ninja adventure home.
For an even bigger selection, families can also explore the LEGO Store at LEGOLAND Florida Resort for LEGO sets, merchandise and gifts.
Shopping can be especially fun at the end of the day when kids have already experienced their favorite rides and know exactly which LEGO adventure they want to continue at home.
Planning Your LEGOLAND Florida Visit
If you are traveling to LEGOLAND Florida Resort for the first time, a little planning can help your family make the most of the day.
Start by checking the current LEGOLAND hours before you visit. Park hours can vary by date, season and special events, so it is always best to check the official calendar for your specific visit.
Next, look at LEGOLAND Florida Resort tickets and admission options before arriving. Families who plan to visit more than once may also want to compare the benefits of an Annual Pass with single day admission.
The official LEGOLAND Florida map can also help you understand where LEGO NINJAGO World is located and how to build it into your route through the park.

Make It a Bigger LEGO Vacation
A visit to LEGOLAND Florida Resort can be more than a single day at the theme park.
Families can add the LEGOLAND Water Park for more family friendly attractions, explore SEA LIFE Florida for an underwater adventure or stay at one of the resort's themed hotels for an extended LEGO vacation.
For families searching for LEGOLAND SEA LIFE, SEA LIFE Florida offers another attraction to consider when building a resort itinerary. Families can combine rides, LEGO experiences and marine life discoveries into one vacation.
Staying at a LEGOLAND Florida Resort hotel can also make it easier to slow down and enjoy more of the resort instead of trying to fit everything into one day.
A Ninja Worthy Day at LEGOLAND Florida Resort
From the original NINJAGO inspired dishes featured above to today's LEGO NINJAGO World and LEGO NINJAGO The Ride, there are plenty of ways for families to bring a little ninja energy to their LEGOLAND Florida Resort vacation.

Then keep exploring.
With more than 50 rides and attractions, water park adventures, LEGO building experiences, shopping, dining and SEA LIFE Florida all nearby, there is plenty to discover after your ninja training is complete.
So grab your crew, channel your inner ninja and get ready to build a LEGOLAND Florida Resort adventure your family will be talking about long after the last LEGO brick is put away.
