It's the perfect opportunity for parents and kids to work side-by-side while experiencing the thrill of race day together.

Using tools, percussion, and snapping bricks, performers create a rhythm-filled show that transforms the pit lane into an interactive dance party. Guests are encouraged to clap, move, and celebrate together as the excitement builds throughout the day.

It's part race-day atmosphere, part family dance-along, and 100% LEGO Festival fun.

Design, Build, and Race Your Own LEGO® F1® Vehicle

Future race engineers, this one's for you.

Kids and grown-ups can put their creativity to the test by designing, building, and racing their own LEGO F1® brick vehicles. Guests will have the chance to experiment with different designs and discover how small changes can make a big difference when speed is on the line.

It's a hands-on learning experience that combines STEM-inspired play, creativity, and friendly competition in true LEGO fashion.

And who knows? Your design could be the fastest on race day.

Celebrate the Next Generation of Racing

The Thrill Zone also shines a spotlight on F1® ACADEMY™, a racing series created to help inspire and support the next generation of female motorsport talent.
