In the four weekends leading up to Halloween, Legoland theme park gives kids a chance to trick-or-treat safely and holds festive Saturday Brick-or-Treat Party Nights.

Visiting families and Southern California locals can enjoy safe Halloween trick-or-treating every Saturday and Sunday in October along the "Brick-or-Treat" Trail at Legoland California. Dates and times are October 4 & 5, 11 & 12, 18 & 19 and 25 & 26 from 11 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

Children 12 and under are invited to stop at various treat stations for Wonka-brand candy and other goodies. They store all their treats in a special, free Legoland souvenir bag.

The best part? Having fun along the Brick-or-Treat Trail is included in the price of admission to the beloved family theme park!

Brick-or-Treat Party Nights at Legoland California

In addition to daytime trick-or-treating, Legoland California holds evening Brick-or-Treat Party Nights every Saturday in October (the 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th) from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. During these festivities, certain rides and sections of the parks are open late, including Land of Adventure, Castle Hill, Lego Technic Coaster and Bionicle Blaster.

Ghoulish performers, dubbed the "Boo Crew," have crazy names like Count Brickula and Jester Funny Bones, and they keep guests in stiches. The evening costume contest gets competitive, with kids entering one of five different categories: Most Lego-themed, Spookiest, Funniest, Most Imaginative and Adventurer (in reference to the new Land of Adventure area of the park).

Encourage your kids to go big with their costumes: winners in each category get a gift pack with four one-day tickets to the park. Judges also pick one "Best of the Best" winner, who receives season passes for four!

Evening Brick-or-Treat Party Nights are also included in the cost of daily admission to the park. But if guests only want to attend the Party Night, admission is $35.

Regular daily admission to the park is $49.95 for children ages 3 to 12 and seniors ages 60 and up; $59.95 for adults.) Parking is $10.

What to See and Do at Legoland California

Legoland California offers dozens of rides, shows and attractions to entertain kids from infants to teens (although Legoland tends to appeal most to four- to eight-year-olds with lots of interactive rides they can operate all by themselves). Here's just a small peek at what's available:

  • Playtown slides and climbing structures for toddlers in Explore Village
  • Building opportunities in Imagination Zone
  • Thriling rides, like the twisting-turning Knight's Tournament ride or the Lego Technic Test Track
  • Magician shows, musical comedy and 4-D movies
  • Yummy treats like cinnamon-sugar Granny's Apple Fries served with vanilla sauce.
  • Amazing Lego sculptures modeled after famous American city landscapes in Miniland U.S.A.
  • Pirate Shores water-based rides for those really hot California days.
