If your house is anything like mine, you’ve already got a soccer ball rolling around the living room, cleats by the back door, and at least one kid who insists on wearing their jersey to dinner. So when LEGOLAND® Resorts dropped the news about their brand-new FIFA® World Cup 2026 Experience, I knew I had to share — because this one is going to be HUGE for our Central Florida soccer-loving crew.
Get those calendars marked, mamas: from June 11 through July 19, 2026, LEGOLAND® Florida Resort in Winter Haven (an easy drive from Orlando or Tampa) is transforming into the ultimate family fan zone for matchday magic, LEGO® style. And the absolute best part? It’s all included with regular park admission. Cue the celebration.
What Makes This One So Special
I love when a family destination leans into a moment, and LEGOLAND is going ALL IN for the World Cup. This isn’t just a few soccer balls scattered around the park — it’s a full-on, high-energy fan experience designed to bring out the soccer star in every kid (and, let’s be honest, every dad too). Whether your little one is a future Messi or just discovered what a goalie is last week, there’s a place for them on this LEGO pitch.
The Bricktastic Lineup My Kids Are Already Hyping Up
Here’s where things get exciting. The FIFA World Cup 2026 Experience at LEGOLAND Florida is packed with hands-on fun:
Build. Dribble. Score!
A park-wide celebration of soccer fun brought to life with that signature LEGO creativity we all know and love. Your kids won’t know where to start first.
Score Against a LEGO® Minifigure
This is the one my soccer-obsessed kiddo cannot wait to try. Test those soccer skills in a fast-paced challenge that turns every kick into a brick-built celebration. (Bonus: amazing photo opportunity for the ‘gram.)
Spot Shot and Super Squad
These playful, inclusive challenges are designed for every age and skill level, which is exactly what I look for as a mom of multiple kids at different stages. No one gets left out, and no one feels too “babyish” for the activities.
Meet the LEGO FIFA® Heroes
Y’all. The kids will get up close to LEGO brick versions of global icons including Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, and Vini Jr. — all created exclusively for the event. My littles are going to LOSE it.
Design A Jersey
Calling all creative kids! Build a dream soccer uniform in LEGO bricks and add it to the Heroes of Play Wall, joining fans from around the world in a growing celebration of soccer-inspired creativity. This is the kind of memory-making moment I live for.
Lift the LEGO FIFA World Cup Official Trophy
THE photo op of the summer. Your kids holding up that iconic trophy? Frame-worthy, mama.
Don’t Miss the Exclusive LEGO Sets
For my fellow collector families (you know who you are), LEGOLAND is dropping newly released LEGO® Editions sets, including the LEGO Soccer Ball Set 43019 and the LEGO FIFA World Cup Official Trophy Set 43020, available at the LEGOLAND LEGO® Shop while supplies last. These are going to be hot tickets, so plan accordingly!
Why This Is the Summer Trip to Book
Brian Bacica, VP of LEGOLAND Florida Resort, said it best: “Bringing the FIFA World Cup 2026 Experience area to LEGOLAND® Florida Resort gives families the chance to be part of the tournament in true LEGO style — building, playing and celebrating the beautiful game together. This event captures the excitement of match day and turns it into hands-on fun for fans of all ages.”
Translation, mom-to-mom: this is the experience that’s going to make your kids feel like they’re a part of something bigger. The World Cup only comes around every four years, and getting to celebrate it together as a family in such a hands-on, creative way? That’s the kind of summer memory that sticks.
