Summer Block Party

The festive atmosphere makes summer an unforgettable time to visit.

Red, White & BOOM!

Best For: Fourth of July Celebrations

Every Independence Day, LEGOLAND celebrates America’s birthday with one of Southern California’s favorite family-friendly Fourth of July events.

Families can enjoy:

It’s one of the most popular days of the year, so arriving early is highly recommended.

Cherimarie’s Local Tip: If you’re visiting during the Fourth of July holiday, purchase your tickets well in advance. It’s one of LEGOLAND’s busiest celebrations, and reservations may sell out.
