The brand new theme park LEGOLAND NY—the third resort of its kind in the U.S.—is now open in Goshen, NY, just 60 miles (and 60 minutes) from NYC.

With thrilling rides and 15,000 LEGO models made up of over 30 million bricks, the colorful amusement park is a sprawling 150-acre sure to thrill both the young ones and LEGO fans of all ages.

RECOMMENDED: A new indoor amusement park is opening on Long Island in 2022

Across the park, there are seven themed lands:

Brick Street: a celebration of the amazing things you can make with LEGOs, including a carousel, a motorcycle, a tiger and a zoo of animals.

Bricktopia: Guests can build anything with a boatload of bricks and test them out or pit them against each other in the robotic play center, or hop on DJ's Dizzy Disco Spin or hop aboard the DUPLO Train. There's also a LEGO Factory Adventure Ride that shows you what it's like to be a LEGO minifigure.

NINJAGO World: LEGO NINJAGO The Ride takes you into a monastery, where Master Wu teaches you the powers of the elements until you're ready to fight the Great Devourer. There's also Jay's Gravity Force Trainer that whirls you around and a ninja training camp.
