Florida & Georgia Residents: Book 2 Nights, Get Your 3rd Night Free

Planning a 2027 family vacation to LEGOLAND® Florida Resort? Florida and Georgia residents can make their getaway last longer with the Book 2 Nights, Get 1 Free offer. When you book two nights at a participating on-site LEGOLAND Florida Resort hotel, your third night is free, giving your family more time to ride, build, splash and explore.

The offer includes a 3-night stay at an on-site LEGOLAND® Florida hotel, daily hot breakfast and 3-day multi-park tickets. Your included tickets provide admission to LEGOLAND® Florida Theme Park, LEGOLAND® Water Park, Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida and SEA LIFE Florida, giving families plenty to experience across three days.

What’s Included

  • 3-night hotel stay: Stay at LEGOLAND Hotel, Pirate Island Hotel or Beach Retreat, with the third night free when you book two nights.
  • Daily hot breakfast: Start each day with breakfast included for guests on the reservation.
  • 3-day multi-park tickets: Enjoy admission to LEGOLAND Florida Theme Park, LEGOLAND Water Park, Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida and SEA LIFE Florida.
  • Themed accommodations: Choose from LEGO-themed rooms at LEGOLAND Hotel, a pirate adventure at Pirate Island Hotel or the relaxed lakefront setting of Beach Retreat.

Why Stay for Three Nights?

A three-night vacation gives your family more time to experience the resort without trying to fit everything into one or two days. Use one day for LEGOLAND Florida Theme Park, make time for LEGOLAND Water Park, visit Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida or SEA LIFE Florida, and still have time to enjoy your hotel's pool, play areas and family entertainment.

For a 2027 vacation, consider using the extra night to slow down your itinerary and revisit favorite rides, explore attractions you missed or simply enjoy more time at the resort.

Kids' New Year's Eve at LEGOLAND Florida Resort

Kids New Years Eve Fireworks Display

Kids' New Year's Eve is designed around a simple family planning problem: how do you celebrate New Year's Eve with children without asking them to stay awake until midnight?

At LEGOLAND® Florida Resort, the celebration brings the New Year to the Theme Park early, with rides, activities, live music, a countdown and a brick-bursting fireworks celebration.

The official event page currently lists Kids' New Year's Eve on December 31 and describes it as being included with general park admission and select Annual Passes. The specific 2027 event details should be checked once they are published.

For families visiting during the winter holidays, this can also change the way you plan your trip. Instead of treating New Year's Eve as a separate evening activity, you can build the celebration into a Theme Park day and finish the year together at the Resort.

Planning tip for families with younger children

Consider your child's normal energy level before trying to make Kids' New Year's Eve the centerpiece of the day. A young child may have more fun participating in the early celebration if the family builds in downtime, food breaks and familiar activities beforehand rather than trying to fit in every attraction.

LEGO NINJAGO Weekends

Family at NINJAGO weekends with characters

LEGO® NINJAGO® Weekends is confirmed to return to LEGOLAND® Florida Resort in early 2027.

The event is particularly relevant for children who already enjoy LEGO NINJAGO® and families who want an event that combines rides with hands-on activities. The current official information says the celebration will mark 15 years of LEGO NINJAGO® and include live shows, action-focused activities and exclusive meet-and-greets.

Current event activities include the Path of the Ninja, Lloyd's Elemental Challenge, Ultimate Dragon Build, Whip Around Dance Party, Name That Ninja Scavenger Hunt and Ceremony of the Ninja. Guests can also continue the theme with LEGO® NINJAGO®: The Ride and LEGO NINJAGO® World.

The exact 2027 dates and daily schedules should be checked before visiting because event offerings can change.

Who might enjoy LEGO NINJAGO Weekends most?

This event makes particular sense for children who want more than a traditional ride-focused theme park day. The combination of building, movement, challenges, entertainment and character experiences gives kids several ways to participate.

For a child who is becoming more independent, an activity-based event can also provide opportunities to choose which challenges to tackle and how to engage with the experience at their own pace.

Valentine's Day at LEGOLAND Florida

Valentine's Day falls on Sunday, February 14, 2027, making the weekend of February 13 and 14 a possible time for a family visit.

Valentine's Day at a family theme park does not have to mean planning a traditional couples' celebration. For families with children, it can be an opportunity to turn the weekend into a small Florida getaway, particularly if the children are more interested in rides, LEGO® building and family activities than a formal Valentine's Day outing.

The important distinction is that Valentine's Day itself does not automatically mean there will be a dedicated Resort event. Check the official 2027 calendar for any seasonal entertainment, dining or special experiences before making plans around the holiday.

A simple Valentine's Day family plan

For a family visiting for the day, consider building the visit around three types of experiences:

  1. A few priority rides that suit your children's ages and interests.

  2. A hands-on LEGO® experience or creative activity.

  3. A relaxed meal or break before finishing the day with attractions the children want to repeat.

That approach can make Valentine's Day feel special without turning the day into a rigid schedule.

Presidents Day Weekend at LEGOLAND Florida

Presidents Day is Monday, February 15, 2027, creating a three-day holiday weekend from February 13 through February 15.

Because school calendars differ, this weekend can be useful for families looking for a short Florida getaway without committing to a longer vacation. It can also work as part of a larger Central Florida trip.

Families traveling from Orlando or Tampa can consider LEGOLAND® Florida Resort as a day trip, while families traveling from farther away may find an overnight stay more practical.

Keep in mind that holiday weekends can be busier than ordinary weekdays. LEGOLAND® Florida Resort notes that weekends, holidays and school vacation periods can see higher attendance, so check operating information and plan your priority experiences before arriving.

Is Presidents Day Weekend a good time for a LEGOLAND Florida trip?

It can be a convenient time because many families have a school holiday, but convenience and crowd levels are different considerations. If your schedule is flexible, compare the holiday weekend with a weekday outside a school break before choosing your dates.

Spring Break 2027 at LEGOLAND Florida Resort

Spring Break is one of the most important periods to consider when planning a 2027 LEGOLAND® Florida Resort trip, but there is no single national Spring Break week.

Florida schools, other U.S. school districts and international schools can have different vacation calendars. That means your family's Spring Break dates should be the starting point for planning rather than assuming one universal week.

LEGOLAND® Florida Resort can work particularly well for a Spring Break trip because families can combine Theme Park attractions with other Resort experiences, depending on the tickets and products they choose.

How many days should you plan?

The right number of days depends on what your family wants to experience.

A one-day visit can work when the main goal is the LEGOLAND® Theme Park and your family has a focused list of priorities.

A longer stay gives families more flexibility to combine the Theme Park with LEGOLAND Water Park, PEPPA PIG Theme Park Florida or SEA LIFE Florida, where included admission and operating dates allow.

The key is not simply adding more attractions. Younger children may benefit more from a slower itinerary with breaks than from attempting to visit every available experience.

Spring Break planning tips

Spring Break is a good time to plan ahead for:

  • Park hours and operating dates

  • Tickets and multi-park admission

  • Accommodation

  • Priority rides and attractions

  • Meals and breaks

  • Florida weather

  • Rain plans

  • Any seasonal events operating during your visit

Galacticoaster can also be part of a family attraction plan for eligible riders. The current ride requirements list a minimum height of 36 inches, with guests under 48 inches required to ride with a responsible rider who is at least 13 years old and 48 inches or taller. Always check the current restrictions before your visit because requirements can change.

St. Patrick's Day Weekend

St. Patrick's Day falls on Wednesday, March 17, 2027. The preceding weekend, March 13 and 14, can provide another opportunity for a spring family trip.

As with Valentine's Day, do not assume the holiday itself means a dedicated LEGOLAND® Florida Resort event. The value of this period for trip planning is that it sits within the broader spring travel season.

For families visiting from elsewhere in Florida, this can be a useful weekend for a shorter getaway. For Orlando visitors, Winter Haven provides an opportunity to add LEGOLAND® Florida Resort to a Central Florida vacation itinerary.

LEGO® Festival 2027

LEGO® Festival is confirmed to return to LEGOLAND® Florida Resort in 2027.

The 2026 festival showed how different LEGO® experiences can complement the Resort's regular rides and attractions, with interactive zones, hands-on building and live entertainment. However, the specific 2027 festival dates, activities and entertainment have not yet been announced.

That distinction matters when planning ahead. The best approach is to treat LEGO Festival as a confirmed 2027 event while waiting for the official Resort to publish the exact schedule.

When the 2027 details are announced, this section should be updated with:

  • Event dates

  • Festival zones

  • Entertainment

  • Character experiences

  • Hands-on building activities

  • Special attractions or collaborations

  • Any event-specific food or merchandise

  • Admission information

Because LEGO Festival takes place throughout the Theme Park, families can potentially combine festival activities with the regular rides and attractions rather than treating it as a separate ticketed destination. Current official information states that LEGO Festival is included with valid Theme Park admission and eligible Annual Passes.

How to Plan Your 2027 LEGOLAND Florida Visit

The biggest planning decision is not necessarily which event to attend. It is deciding what type of trip your family actually wants.

For a first theme park visit

Keep the schedule manageable. Choose several attractions that match your children's ages and interests, then leave room for play, food and breaks.

LEGOLAND® Florida Resort is designed for children ages 2 to 12, so children at different stages can experience the same park very differently. A preschooler may be most interested in character experiences, play areas and age-appropriate rides, while an older child may want to prioritize coasters, interactive attractions and LEGO® experiences.

For a multi-day Florida vacation

A longer stay can make sense when LEGOLAND® Florida Resort is one part of a broader Florida family vacation.

The Resort is about 45 minutes from Orlando and Tampa, so families staying in either market can potentially build it into a wider itinerary. Travelers coming from farther away may prefer to stay onsite and reduce the amount of driving between park days.

For families considering an onsite hotel

LEGOLAND Florida Hotel

LEGOLAND® Florida Resort currently offers three onsite accommodation options: LEGOLAND® Hotel, LEGOLAND® Pirate Island Hotel and Beach Retreat.

LEGOLAND Hotel and Pirate Island Hotel are located just steps from the Theme Park. Beach Retreat offers a different lakeside accommodation experience and operates seasonally.

The practical difference is convenience and the type of stay your family wants. A family prioritizing proximity to the Theme Park may prefer one of the hotels near the entrance. A family looking for a more relaxed lakeside setting may prefer Beach Retreat when it is operating for their dates.

Current Resort information also lists Early Park Access for guests staying at LEGOLAND Hotel or Pirate Island Hotel, as well as certain Annual Passholders, subject to valid Theme Park admission and the applicable terms.

Should You Consider a LEGOLAND Florida Annual Pass for 2027?

LEGOLAND Florida Annual Passes

An Annual Pass may be worth investigating if you expect to visit more than once during 2027 or want access to additional attractions and passholder benefits.

The important point is to compare the current pass tier, admission access, blockout dates, parking benefits, discounts and other inclusions with your actual plans. Annual Pass products and benefits can change.

Current pass options include different levels of admission across LEGOLAND® Florida Resort attractions, with higher tiers providing broader access. The Premium and Preferred passes currently include access beyond the LEGOLAND Theme Park, while Standard has more limited attraction access.

For a family planning one visit, compare regular ticket products first. For Florida residents or families making several visits, an Annual Pass can become a more relevant planning option.

Annual Passes

Tickets, Vacation Packages and Planning Ahead

There is no single ticket strategy that works for every 2027 family trip.

A short visit may call for Theme Park admission only. A longer vacation may make a multi-park ticket or vacation package more relevant, particularly when the itinerary includes LEGOLAND Water Park or PEPPA PIG Theme Park Florida.

Families staying onsite can also compare room-only bookings with vacation packages that combine accommodation and park admission.

Before purchasing, check:

  • Which parks are included

  • How many days of admission you need

  • Whether the parks you want to visit are operating during your dates

  • Annual Pass availability and restrictions

  • Current offers and package terms

  • Hotel availability

  • Any applicable blockout dates

Prices and offers change, so use the official ticket and hotel pages for the most current information.

What to Check Before Your 2027 Visit

Because the 2027 calendar will continue to develop, revisit the official LEGOLAND® Florida Resort website before traveling.

Check:

  1. Event dates and schedules: Seasonal entertainment can change.

  2. Park hours: Operating hours vary by date.

  3. Attraction availability: Rides and attractions can be temporarily unavailable.

  4. Height requirements: Check the current requirements for each attraction your children want to experience.

  5. Tickets: Confirm exactly which parks and dates your admission covers.

  6. Annual Pass terms: Check the current benefits and blockout calendar.

  7. Hotel availability: Especially important for holiday weekends and school breaks.

  8. Florida weather: Plan for sun, heat and the possibility of rain.

  9. Daily energy: Build breaks into your schedule, especially with preschoolers.

  10. The official event page: Look for the latest entertainment, character and activity information.

Make 2027 a Year of Firsts

For many children, a LEGOLAND® Florida Resort visit is not simply about checking attractions off a list. It can be a chance to try a first coaster, build something independently, meet a favorite LEGO® character, navigate a themed area or discover that a ride they were nervous about is actually something they want to experience again.

That is one reason planning around the right event can matter. LEGO NINJAGO Weekends can add an extra layer of participation for Ninja fans. LEGO Festival can put creative play at the center of the day. Spring Break can turn a park visit into a larger Florida family vacation. Kids' New Year's Eve can create a family celebration around a child's schedule.

The best 2027 plan is the one that matches your children's ages, interests and energy levels rather than trying to do everything at once.

As more 2027 event dates and details are announced, this guide will continue to be updated. Before you travel, check the official LEGOLAND® Florida Resort event calendar, ticket information, attraction requirements and hotel pages for the latest details.

2027 LEGOLAND Florida Resort FAQs

Confirmed 2027 seasonal information currently includes LEGO® NINJAGO® Weekends in early 2027 and the return of LEGO® Festival. Kids' New Year's Eve is also part of the Resort's seasonal calendar, while the specific 2027 event schedule and additional seasonal details should be checked as they are announced.

LEGO NINJAGO Weekends is scheduled for early 2027 at LEGOLAND® Florida Resort. The current official event page does not yet provide the complete 2027 date schedule, so families should check the official page before booking around the event.

LEGO Festival is confirmed to return to LEGOLAND® Florida Resort in 2027, but specific event dates and the 2027 lineup have not yet been announced. The event is currently described as included with valid Theme Park admission and eligible Annual Passes.

LEGOLAND® Florida Resort can be a practical Spring Break option for families who want a Theme Park experience designed around children, with rides, LEGO® experiences and additional Resort attractions available depending on the tickets selected. Because Spring Break dates and attendance vary, families should check their school calendar, park hours, ticket options and accommodation availability before booking.

The number of days depends on what your family wants to experience. A focused Theme Park visit can work as a one-day trip, while families combining the Theme Park with LEGOLAND Water Park, PEPPA PIG Theme Park Florida, SEA LIFE Florida or an onsite hotel stay may prefer a longer vacation. The right length is the one that lets your family enjoy the experiences that matter most without rushing.
