LEGOLAND CA Brick or Treat: Halloween Magic Without the Nightmares

If your ideal Halloween vibe is more “adorable monsters and candy corn” than “full-blown haunted house panic attack,” this one’s for you. LEGOLAND California Brick or Treat is the ultimate not-so-scary Halloween celebration that kids (and their slightly over-caffeinated parents) can actually enjoy together. Think: costumes, candy trails, live shows, LEGO characters in costume, and zero chainsaw-wielding maniacs in sight.

A Halloween Playground Made of Bricks (Literally)

Set inside LEGOLAND California Resort in Carlsbad (aka, the chill, coastal cousin of San Diego), Brick or Treat takes over the park with Halloween decor, themed zones like “Monster Party Zone,” and trick-or-treat trails sprinkled throughout. Imagine your kiddo in a pirate costume collecting candy from a LEGO graveyard while “Monster Rocker” strums out spooky jams in the background. Pure, sugar-fueled joy.

It’s tailor-made for families with kids under 12—AKA the age group most likely to wear a light-up dinosaur costume and least likely to sleep if they’ve been genuinely scared. LEGOLAND’s classic rides stay open, too, so you can hop from the Dragon Coaster to a candy trail without missing a beat.

The (Pumpkin-Shaped) Calendar Details

LEGOLAND CA Brick or Treat runs on select dates from September 20 through November 1, 2025. Here’s when to mark your calendar (and start hoarding candy bags):

• September: 20 & 27
• October: Every Saturday & Sunday
• November: 1 (bonus round!)

Festivities typically kick off in the late afternoon and keep the spooky vibes going into the evening. Even better? The event is included with regular park admission on Brick or Treat days. No add-ons. No confusing ticket tiers. Just grab a costume and go.

🎟️ Passholder Pro Tip: If you’re an Elite passholder, you’re good to go—all Brick or Treat dates are included. But if you’re holding a Silver, Gold, or Platinum pass, you’ll need to purchase a special event ticket to join the monster fun. Read the fine print so your kids don’t stage a mutiny at the gates.

Who’s it For? (Spoiler: Probably You)

Brick or Treat LEGOLAND California is the sweet spot between toddler-friendly and elementary school-approved. Whether it’s your kid’s first-ever trick-or-treat or their fifth year of being obsessed with all things Frankenstein, this event has enough charm, energy, and LEGO magic to keep everyone entertained.

Planning a family costume? Go wild. Want to sneak in a little mom-and-dad nostalgia via 90s rock at the Monster Rock Off? You’re in luck

🍬 Pro Tip: Bring your own trick-or-treat bag (as long they comply with the standard bag check policy. Rolling bags or bags with wheels are not permitted.) LEGOLAND does provide trick-or-treat bags but sometimes the paper handles crumble under pressure

The Main Attractions (a.k.a. Why You’ll Be Glad You Came)

Brick or Treat isn’t just about candy. It’s a full-on Halloween takeover with monster dance parties, laugh-out-loud shows, and spooky fun that skips the scream factor.

🎃 Monster Meet & Greet Hub
Snap pics with Halloweenified LEGO characters like Monster Rocker, Tiger Woman, and the sassiest Green Witch on this side of the Miniland.

🕷️ Spider Lady Meet & Greet
Come for the photo op, stay for the dramatic entrance. This eight-legged queen knows how to pose.

📣 Zombie Cheer Crew
High-energy dancing, undead cheerleaders, and just the right amount of spooky silliness. No pom-poms required.

🎸 Monster Rock Off
It’s a LEGO rock concert. With monsters. And maybe your new favorite Halloween bop.

👻 The Great Monster Chase 4D
A 4D movie filled with giggles and mild chaos. Kids love it. Grownups laugh more than they’d like to admit.

🏆 V.I.M. Costume Contest
V.I.M. stands for Very Important Monster, and this isn’t your average “every kid gets a ribbon” situation. Open to kids under 12, the contest lets your little goblins, astronauts, witches, and cardboard-box robots shine across three epic categories: Best Space Costume, Best Homemade Costume, and Best Group Costume (family squad goals, anyone?).

Winners can score major bragging rights and actual prizes like LEGOLAND hotel stays, park tickets, and legit LEGO sets. Registration starts at 10:00 a.m. in MINILAND USA, and showtimes happen throughout the afternoon at 1:00 p.m. (VIM Jr.), 2:00, 3:30, and 4:30 p.m. Be sure to check the V.I.M Costume Contest Official Rules for complete rules and eligibility.

New in 2025 : Haunted Add-Ons You’ll Actually Want

Get ready for fresh frights and new delights, LEGOLAND California’s Brick-or-Treat is leveling up for 2025. From spooky cruises to haunted highways, this year’s additions are all treats, no tricks.

🚢 Ghost Cruise
Hop aboard the classic Coast Cruise, now decked out in spooky Miniland scenes and silly scares. It’s like a Halloween boat parade in LEGO form.

🚗 Halloween Driving School
Kids take the wheel on a haunted road filled with twists, turns, and gentle mayhem. No license required.

🌳 The LEGO Halloween Tree
This towering 17-foot spectacle is made from nearly 700,000 bricks and twinkles with lights, cobwebs, pumpkins, and maybe a hidden bat or two.

Let’s Talk About the Food (Because, Obviously)

LEGOLAND never misses a chance to get weird—in the best way—with their limited-time Halloween eats:

🍏 Creepy Crawly Apple Fries
A spooky twist on Granny’s Apple Fries, topped with gummy worms, Oreo dirt, raspberry drizzle, and green matcha “slime.” AKA your kid’s dream snack.

🍜 Witch’s Brew Ramen
Birria broth with ramen, jalapeños, corn, onions, and enough flavor to resurrect you from a food coma.

🍔 Monster Mash Burger
A double-patty Frankenstein of a burger with nacho cheese, guac slime, Takis, and jet-black buns. It’s giving late-night snack monster energy.

🍗 Roaring Wicked Chicken
Spicy fried chicken on a black bun with jalapeño jelly slaw. This one’s got kick—and a cult following.

Park & Play: Parking and Crowd Tips

Parking for Brick or Treat LEGOLAND CA is refreshingly painless. General parking runs about $30, preferred spots closer to the entrance cost around $45. Either way, it’s stroller-friendly and manageable—even if you’ve got three kids and a backpack full of half-eaten snacks.

🚨 Crowd Watch: Weekends (especially October Saturdays) are where the monster mash turns into a stroller gridlock. If you’re not die-hard for Halloween festivities, consider a non-Brick-or-Treat weekday instead. Fewer crowds, more ride time, and probably less melted chocolate in your pockets.
