LEGOLAND California gears up to celebrate 25 year anniversary with a new land and experiences.
Merlin Entertainments, owner and operator of LEGOLAND California, has revealed plans for a new Dino Valley land and the debut of North America’s first-ever LEGO World Parade, set to open in 2024.
The flagship visitor attraction operator has announced three roar-some rides will open at Dino Valley. These include:
• DUPLO® Little Dino Trail: Dinosaurs aren’t extinct here! Hop on this four-seater ride to journey through the LEGO DUPLO Dino safari. Kids can use cameras to ‘capture’ the dinosaurs and play hide & seek with them along the way.
• Explorer River Quest: Embark on the river expedition to interact with LEGO dinosaur models – beware, you just might see a T-Rex!
• Coastersaurus: Everyone’s favorite dinosaur ride will continue to bring guests through the prehistoric jungle of LEGO dinosaurs. Circle around the 1,100-pound Brachiosaurus and whiz by the ten-foot tall Parasaurolophus scavenging for food.
Meanwhile, an interactive Dino Area will allow guests to dust off the dirt and reveal fossils in the Dino Dig zone, whilst also meeting a whole host of Dino Lego characters.
The summer season will also see the launch of the LEGO World Parade, which will feature floats including the LEGO City Firetruck, Pirate Ship and multiple displays inspired by LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Friends, LEGO DUPLO and Lego City Deep Sea Adventure.

Entertainers with glittering costumes will march hand-in-hand, dance, and sing as the Parade makes its way through the west side of the park.
The new offerings will complete LEGOLAND California’s signature 60 rides, shows and attractions.
Commenting on the announcement, Scott O’Neil, CEO of Merlin Entertainments said:
“As we look towards 2024, we anticipate a year of unparalleled excitement and boundless creativity, echoing the very essence of the core values of LEGO. From the moment families step into LEGOLAND California Resort, they’ll be immersed in a celebratory atmosphere, surrounded by special birthday décor and new experiences that all serve as a constant reminder of our 25-year legacy and the timeless wonder and appeal of the LEGO brand.
The unveiling of Dino Valley and the brand-new LEGO World Parade will showcase an extra dose of celebratory cheer, inviting families to join us and build together in another quarter-century of laughter, play, and the timeless art of memory making.“
