"For 90 years, the LEGO Group has inspired creativity and joy among children, and as a theme park, LEGO play is in our DNA," said LEGOLAND New York Resort Divisional Director Stephanie Johnson. "This summer, for our first full season, we decided to take the celebrations up a notch with even more surprises and giveaways to pull out all the stops for the first full season of LEGOLAND New York Resort!"

Beginning tomorrow, the gigantic LEGO cake constructed of more than 180,000 LEGO elements will be on display for photo ops throughout the summer. For ten weeks (June 10 – August 19), all children who visit LEGOLAND New York from Thursdays through Sundays will receive a limited-edition lanyard upon entry to the Park. Each week, 90 random kids will find a card inside the lanyard with a special surprise. Prizes include:

• VIP experiences
• And, for a lucky few guests, all-inclusive VIP LEGOLAND Hotel stays!

Beyond the birthday festivities, families can also enjoy a series of new bricktastic adventures this summer, including LEGOLAND New York's first-ever July 4th Red, White & BOOM! celebration, new entertainment shows, new characters, and new LEGO models. The fun continues with select LEGOLAND Parks launching a new "Play YOUR Way" campaign across the globe in honor of the 90^th anniversary. "Play YOUR Way" introduces children to five different play types (designer, maker, explorer, storyteller, or dreamer) and encourages them to get hands-on with various in-Park touchpoints such as playful quizzes so they can discover their play type. There will even be "Master Players" that have mastered all five play types journeying throughout the Parks in magical costumes to surprise guests.

LEGOLAND New York Resort takes kids on a journey through seven LEGO^® themed lands, including Brick Street, Bricktopia, LEGO^® NINJAGO^® World, LEGO Castle, LEGO City, MINILAND and LEGO Pirates.
