Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the 2022 season opening of LEGOLAND® New York Resort in Goshen, Orange County. This will be the theme park’s first full season after officially opening in July 2021. This year, LEGOLAND New York Resort is offering guests a full calendar of exciting events, including its first-ever July 4 fireworks. New entertainment venues – including the LEGO® City Water Playground – are scheduled to open this summer, providing guests with a perfect oasis for a hot summer day, as well as an opportunity to build and race their own LEGO boat.  

"We are thrilled to welcome travelers from all over the state and world as LEGOLAND New York Resort opens for the season,” Governor Hochul said. "This unique, family friendly destination has been a boon to the local economy and is an integral part of the state's tourism industry. The future is bright for LEGOLAND New York and we look forward to many successful seasons to come as we continue our economic comeback from COVID-19.”   

Stephanie Johnson, LEGOLAND New York Resort Divisional Director, said, "There’s so much excitement around family travel this year, and we can’t wait to build bricktastic memories with our guests this season. We saw strong demand last year, even with our phased opening, and we expect to build on that momentum in our first full season as we welcome families to experience everything our Resort has to offer."     

Excitement for the new season at LEGOLAND New York Resort continues to grow, where the 250-room LEGOLAND Hotel is already sold out for most dates in April. Designed and built for kids, the hotel was popular with families last year, operating at or near capacity between August and November. Each of the LEGO® themed rooms features a separate children's sleeping area, with daily children's entertainment and scavenger hunts for LEGO prizes – and all located just steps away from the theme park.   

Empire State Development Acting Commissioner and President & CEO-Designate Hope Knight said, "Tourism is crucial to the economic vitality of New York State, and the pandemic dealt a huge blow to the industry in both domestic and international markets. This celebration of LEGOLAND’s first full season in New York represents many of the positive indications that we are rebuilding and recovering from the COVID-19 crisis and revitalizing this industry that supports so many jobs and businesses across the state.”
