Summary

The blog covered LEGOLAND California’s Brick or Treat, which runs on 12 select dates between Sept 19 and Nov 1, 2026, and the Kids Tickets from $39 offer that includes it. It also covered the Hotel + Ticket package from $189 per person per night and three annual passes at $189, $289 and $349. The annual pass offer ends Oct 7, 2026.

The standout attraction is LEGO Galaxy, which opened on March 6, 2026 around Galacticoaster. Riders build their own spacecraft from more than 625 combinations on an indoor coaster that reaches up to 40 mph. The park is also a Certified Autism Center, with a sensory room and a Sensory Sensitivity Hour from 1pm to 2pm daily.

Two checks can save a visit. Brick or Treat does not run every weekend, so families should confirm their date against the list, and costumes need to follow the rules, including no inflatable costumes and full masks for children only. Galacticoaster riders also need to be at least 36 inches tall with an adult or 48 inches tall to ride without one, and allergy friendly candy is not offered during trick or treating, so families should pack their own safe treats.
