Visiting LEGOLAND® New York Resort During Canadian Spring and Summer Break
If you’re planning a Canada spring break trip, it’s important to keep in mind how seasonal weather and peak park days may affect your trip ahead of time.
Spring (April amd May) tends to be mild, with occasional rainy or cool spells, so we recommend packing a light jacket, layers and a raincoat. When summer arrives (June to August), the weather in New York is usually warm and sunny, making it perfect for The Water Playground and outdoor rides.
To keep you cool and protected, we recommend packing sunscreen, hats and plenty of water. Along with U.S. spring breaks (late March to mid-April) and summer breaks (late May to early September), these weeks are the busiest of the year. Arriving early and planning your day at the Resort will help your family make the most of your visit.
