With this, I am guessing that the park will be open to the general public no more than a couple weeks later.
when is the bacon family going? are masks still required?
with the hotel and pirate land not opening until later, I think I’m going to wait it out until August or at least later to make a decision. The hotel will be important to us.
The FAQ page has three questions on it. This is one of the three:
Q. Will I be able to visit LEGOLAND New York Resort just to shop?
A. You’ll be able to get a Shopper’s Pass at the ticketing windows to enter LEGOLAND New York Resort for one hour to shop. You will need to pay a deposit of the cost of single day admission, which will be refunded if you leave within the hour time limit.
Summary: A bit underwhelming to be honest. Around half of the rides were open, and the rain at 4pm caused three of my kids to miss out on Driving School. The employees were all excited and pleasant. I was impressed with the Factory Tour ride with autonomous vehicles (and glad that we could do that while it was raining outside). Miniland is still a work in progress with none of the interactive features working yet. Also, there are a lot of areas where the long circuitous path is frequently skipped by kids running shortcuts through the growing grass.
