Go Behind The Scenes at New York’s New Legoland Theme Park

It's happening: New York State's very own Legoland. If your kids are anything like mine, they're going to be excited to pay a visit to the new park.

Legoland New York is scheduled to open in 2020, in the town of Goshen - near Poughkeepsie. SecretNY posted what they know about the park on their website, along with a virtual tour Legoland posted. "Only 60 miles from the city, the Legoland theme park will have rides unique to this location as well as a Miniland that depicts NYC’s ever-changing skyline with new buildings you won’t find at other Legoland Parks."

Here's what we know:

• The "First To Play" passes will go on sale this month, with hotel reservation available at the end of the summer - according to Legoland's Facebook page.
• The 150-acre park will be open seasonally, from April to November
• The park will have a 250-room hotel.
• There will be 50 rides for kids to enjoy.
• There will also be a Legoland Factory.

According to the Legoland Facebook page, the park is designed for kids from 2-12 years old, so even the youngest Lego fans can enjoy the experience.

While the hotel and grounds are not complete in New York (and probably covered in snow) here are some pictures from the California park, to give you a hint of what things could look like in New York.
