Packed full of rollercoasters and cosmic rides for thrill-seekers of all ages, a brand-new space-themed land set to launch at its California resort in early 2026.
The out-of-this-world expansion will blast families off on an interstellar Lego adventure like never before, marking the biggest in-park investment in Legoland history — with more than $90 million poured into the new space lands coming to both the California and Florida resorts.
What rides will it have?
A groundbreaking indoor rollercoaster, said to be the most advanced ride Legoland has ever built, launching guests from the all-new SPACEPORT 886 — a nod to the iconic Lego Space Buggy set.
“This isn’t just a coaster – it’s a full-on Lego galaxy,” said Merlin Magic Making boss Flora Liu.
“We’re mixing the creativity of Lego with the wonder of space to bring families a totally new kind of adventure.”
Visitors can look forward to two additional cosmic rides, offering wannabe astronauts more thrilling ways to explore the final frontier.
Younger guests can get in on the action too, with a Junior Astronaut Training Zone designed especially for little space cadets to enjoy imaginative play.
There’ll also be out-of-this-world food and drink options to refuel between missions, along with a galactic gift shop selling space-themed gear and souvenirs to remember the adventure.
The new area is being built opposite Fun Town’s Driving School and will be included in general park admission and annual passes.
So, whether you’re training your toddler for launch or hunting for alien bricks, this brick-built universe is set to be Legoland’s most stellar expansion yet.
LEGOLAND Windsor is gearing up for summer
Meanwhile, Legoland Windsor is gearing up for a brick-tastic summer, with brand-new shows, splashing fun, and its latest addition — the Lego Insiders Clubhouse — ready to welcome excited families through the gates.
The popular theme park promises a season packed with rides, live entertainment and hands-on adventures, including a brand-new Lego City live show guaranteed to keep kids buzzing all day long.
Ramesh Ganeson, vice president of Legoland Windsor Resort, said: “This summer, we’re cranking up the fun at Legoland Windsor.
“With thrilling rides, splashing adventures, and the new Lego Insiders Clubhouse, there’s something to spark every imagination.
“We can’t wait to welcome families for a season bursting with laughter, excitement, and unforgettable brick-tastic memories.”
The Lego Insiders Clubhouse invites guests to become official play testers, completing four interactive challenges to earn exclusive access to the Lego Vault — where they’ll get a sneak peek at upcoming Lego sets and behind-the-scenes content.
To cool off, families can head to Drench Towers and Splash Safari, where giant tipping bricks and water slides promise a refreshing break from the action.
Younger visitors can enjoy the Duplo-themed water play zones featuring animal figures made just for them.
Thrill-seekers can take on the Minifigure Speedway, the world’s first Lego duelling rollercoaster, or dive into adventure on the Lego City Deep Sea Adventure ride.
Day tickets start at £39 and must be booked in advance online.
Kids under 0.9m tall go free — making it the perfect time to plan a summer day out full of bricks, splashes and smiles.
Where is the world’s biggest LEGOLAND?
Legoland Shanghai Resort in China, which opened its doors on July 5 2025, is now the largest LEGOLAND in the world.
Spread across a whopping 318,000 square metres in Shanghai’s Jinshan district, the mega resort features a theme park, hotel, and a mind-blowing 85 million Lego bricks bringing the place to life.
The park is split into eight themed lands, including favourites like Ninjago, Lego Friends, and Monkie Kid, with over 75 rides, shows and attractions on offer for families.
At the heart of the park is the stunning Miniland — a brick-built replica of Shanghai’s skyline, complete with the famous waterfront and towering skyscrapers of the Lujiazui financial district.
It took 168,000 hours and over 20 million Lego bricks to build.
Leogland Shanghai will also boast several world firsts — including the Big Lego Coaster, the park’s biggest-ever thrill ride, and a 60-metre-tall Legoland Observation Tower offering stunning views of the sprawling brick paradise.
The Legoland Hotel also includes 250 Lego-themed rooms.

Use these tips on your next theme park trip
Next time you visit a theme park, you may want to use our top tips to make the most of your adrenaline-inducing day out.
- Go to the back of the theme park first. Rides at the front will have the longest queues as soon as it opens.
- Go on water rides in the middle of the day in the summer – this will cool you off when the sun is at its hottest.
- Download the park’s app to track which rides have the shortest queues.
- Visit on your birthday, as some parks give out “birthday badges” that can get you freebies.
- If it rains, contact the park. Depending on how much it rained, you may get a free ticket to return.
