Legoland Brick or Treat
Halloween Family Fun

Each year in October, Legoland Brick or Treat brings together Halloween and family-friendly fun for a great celebration geared specifically for kids twelve and under. The carnival atmosphere, with wandering stilt-walkers, jugglers and unicyclists, contribute to the colorful theme without being scary for children. Everyone is smiling and happy, making it good, clean fun for everyone to enjoy.

Legoland Brick or Treat is offered every weekend during October, but there are two different celebrations you can visit. Every Saturday and Sunday, kids can check out the Brick or Treat trail and Sea Life Aquarium, decorated in the Halloween theme. Saturday nights, only, is when the excitement really happens, with Brick or Treat Party Nights occuring from 5:00 - 9:00 pm. I suggest coming on Saturday and staying late so you can experience the full Brick or Treat experience!

For Party Nights much of the park closes at 5:00 pm, with after-hours activities occuring in Castle Hill, Land of Adventure, Imagination Zone, Miniland USA, Dino Island and Duplo Village. However, while all of these areas are decorated, I found that most of the entertainment and fun stuff happened in Castle Hill and the Imagination Zone.

The Sea Life Aquarium stays open late to celebrate, too, and has a Brick or Treat Trail for kids.

Children have their choice of Brick or Treat Trails to explore (only one trail per child; kids get a handstamp when they go through the trail). After receiving a goodie bag, your kids will go "door to door" along the path, visiting seven themed Treat Stations, where they'll get yummy candy, crayons, glo sticks, Lego Club magazine, and a commemorative Lego brick. Don't be put off by the long lines; the trail moves quickly and it's a fun experience for your kids.

Brick or Treat Trails can be found at:

• Enchanted Walk
• Miniland Overlook
• Sea Life Aquarium

Brick or Treat Trails are open both Saturday and Sunday during October.

Popular rides like The Dragon rollercoaster, Lost Kingdom Adventure, Project X and Knights Tourney remain open during the extended hours, but expect longer wait times due to park congestion in these areas. Luckily, when you're ready for a rest, the playground is open, so let the little ones run wild while you have a bit of a break!

Other cool things happening during Legoland's Brick or Treat Party Nights celebration includes:

• Spirits of Brick or Treat Light Show
• Costume Contests include "heroes," "Legos," and "creative" themes
• Howlin' Howlie, where kids can show off their best wolf howl
• Mail Order Monsters, a play
• Hubble Bubble's Dance Party, where kids can show off their best dance moves

Kids, feel free to attend Legoland Brick or Treat in costume! Parents, I would leave the lightsabers and swords at home if you plan on enjoying the rides, too.
