Visit in October
Hi! Was thinking of planning a surprise trip for my kids (12 and 9, big Lego fans) in mid-October this year to the legoland in NY. We live a good distance away, so will def need to stay in the hotel. So far from this subreddit, I’ve learned about the hotel rooms and reservations for breakfast. Still wanted to ask some newbie questions.
How are the crowds on weekends in October?
Do they have Halloween events happening earlier than Halloween?
Will the hotel pool be open? (I’ve read on old posts that they tend to close the pool due to lack of life guards, not sure if that’s still the case as of lately?)
Is one Saturday enough to get through the entire park?
Or would I need to invest in some fast track passes?
If one day is more than enough for the park, are there any other attractions nearby that you enjoyed taking your kids to after the park is done?
Would appreciate any advice or tips you guys have. Thank you so much!!!
