From the moment you step into the park, you’re surrounded by the magic of Legoland, culminating in this extraordinary parade that runs daily through the west side of the theme park.

The parade is the perfect finale to a day spent riding, climbing, splashing, and building through our 60+ rides, shows, and attractions.”
