LEGOLAND is about to celebrate its 20th birthday in grand style at the LEGOLAND Resort in Southern California. There will be LEGO® Movie Days, a new 4D Film, dance parties and new shows among so much more.
Since the resort opened in 1999, LEGOLAND has become a multi-day destination offering over 60 rides, shows and attractions. The resort even has the Sea Life Aquarium, a water park, and the all new LEGOLAND Castle Hotel.

After sharing the success of 2018 with the openings of LEGOLAND®Castle Hotel and LEGO City Deep Sea Adventure submarine ride, General Manager Peter Ronchetti took a look back at the Resort’s achievements through the years before the five things to celebrate 2019 were announced.
“Having a chance to reflect on the last 20 years ahead of next year’s birthday celebration, it’s incredible to think about all we’ve accomplished during that time and the amount of kids we positively impacted through their experiences at the Resort,” said Ronchetti. “I’m excited to see what new adventures we take our guests on in the future as there are no creative boundaries holding us back in the LEGO® universe.”
