LEGO F1 to headline new thrill zone at LEGOLAND Florida's LEGO Festival 2026

Ready, set, build! LEGOLAND Florida Resort is bringing the excitement of race day to families this summer with the debut of LEGO F1 as the headline experience inside the all-new Thrill Zone during LEGOFestival 2026.

LEGO Festival 2026 hits top speed as LEGOLAND Florida Resort reveals LEGO F1 will headline the Thrill Zone, becoming the first major IP partner to be announced for this year’s festival lineup. 

The ultimate celebration of play, LEGO Festival is built for kids to take the lead and designed to spark creativity, fuel imaginations and bring families together through interactive experiences.

Taking center stage in the new Thrill Zone, the LEGO F1 experience will bring the buzz of a F1 Race Day to life with a full-throttle lineup of high-energy moments, hands-on racing builds, family pit crew challenges and surprise character appearances.

Families will race against the clock to complete the fastest LEGO F1 pit stop tire change in the Brick Stop Challenge, working together to test their teamwork as an official pit crew around a LEGO F1 car.

Shifting gears and bringing a whole new vibe to the pit lane is the Pit Lane Hype Show. This live, beat-driven drum and percussion experience is performed using only tools and snapping bricks, capturing the pulse of a race weekend and creating an unmissable family dance-along moment.

For those who want to raise the competitive stakes, there’s also a chance to become race engineers for the day. Kids and grown-ups alike can design, build and race their own LEGO F1 brick vehicles, testing ideas to see if they can find that extra bit of speed for race day victory.

“LEGO Festival is built for kids and powered by play. It’s a limited-time experience where creativity takes the lead and imaginations run wild,” said Brian Bacica, Vice President, LEGOLAND Florida Resort. “With LEGO F1headlining our new Thrill Zone, families can drive into the excitement of race day through this first-of-its-kind pit stop challenge. It’s fast, colorful and packed with feel-good fun for everyone from start to finish.”

The Thrill Zone also shines a spotlight on F1 ACADEMY, a junior racing championship created to inspire the next generation of female talent, helping more girls see themselves in the world of motorsports and connect with F1 in a meaningful and empowering way.

And because no race day is complete without a photo finish, guests will also have plenty of opportunities to capture picture-perfect moments throughout their day. From meeting LEGO pit crew characters, to stepping up for a winner’s photo, everyone can celebrate like champions and take home a memory worthy of the checkered flag.

Running from July 20 to August 16, 2026, LEGO Festival will transform LEGOLAND Florida Resort into a full-scale celebration of imagination across five interactive zones: Music, Creative, Chill-Out, and the brand-new Thrill and Play Zones.  

As a bonus for families planning a visit, guests can currently save up to $100 on select Annual Passes, unlocking a full year of play plus access to LEGO Festival and other seasonal events.
