The Water Playground is the ideal retreat for families to unwind
New York-based resort Legoland has officially unveiled its newest attraction, the Lego City Water Playground.
In a press statement, Legoland says that this year, Legoland New York Resort will treat visitors to exciting new events and bring back signature experiences including, Red, White, and Boom! summer nights of fireworks beginning June 30, Brick-or-Treat for the season of fall, Halloween party for kids from mid-September through Halloween and Holiday Bricktacular winter festivities.
“We’re as eager as our guests to kick off summer with the debut of our long-awaited Lego City Water Playground. We’ve developed this exciting new attraction in response to direct feedback from our guests asking for a place to cool off, but our Water Playground is so much more. Like all of our attractions, our Water Playground aims to give families interactive, creative opportunities to build, play, splash and learn together,” said Legoland New York Resort Divisional Director Stephanie Johnson.
Legoland says that the new resort is a family-friendly summer destination. The Water Playground is the ideal retreat for families to unwind, build and race a Lego boat, splash on water slides and get drenched by a massive 318-gallon water bucket after a day of riding, driving, climbing and building in the summer heat.
Visitors can dry off and continue visiting the Park’s seven Lego-themed regions and must-see attractions from a nearby changing facility. Families who enjoy the water can splash and play until dusk at the Legoland Hotel pool, which is open all year long.
Bedecked head to toe in scuba gear, inflatable tubes, swimmies and pool noodles, hosts Slidin’ Ryan and Matty Splash introduced a brand-new Legoland New York character, Shark Suit Guy, who opened the new attraction in a shower of water and bubbles, it adds.
Legoland New York opened for the 2023 season as a Certified Autism Center, credited by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). The statement says that every ride has a posted sensory guide indicating whether there are bright lights, loud sounds, or any feature that guests might need to plan around.
Visitors will notice a posted sensory guide at the entrance to the water playground, and they can decompress in the nearby quiet room with weighted blankets, dim lighting and tactile toys.
Legoland New York Resort takes kids on a journey through seven Lego themed lands, including Brick Street, Bricktopia, Lego Ninjago World, Lego Castle, Lego City, Miniland and Lego Pirates. Built for families with children ages two through 12, can’t-miss highlights of a New York vacation destination include transforming into a Minifigure on the world premiere Lego Factory Adventure ride, chasing the red wizard out of the castle on the signature Dragon coaster, and mastering the power of the elements with Master Wu on Lego Ninjago The Ride.
The statement adds that for a multi-day Lego vacation experience, guests can book a vacation package at Legoland Hotel, just steps from the park entrance.
