WINTER HAVEN, Fla. – Legoland Florida is turning the world’s biggest soccer tournament into the ultimate family playground.
The Winter Haven theme park is hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026 Experience from June 11 through July 19, bringing soccer-themed, hands-on LEGO fun to families.
“The whole world is excited about the FIFA World Cup, of course, and we wanted to bring it to life in a way that only Legoland could, specifically for families and their children,” said Brittany Williams, spokesperson for Merlin Entertainments Florida.
One of the standout experiences puts kids head-to-head with a life-size LEGO minifigure goalie — with parents stepping in behind the giant figure while children try to score.
Families can also pose with a LEGO replica of the FIFA World Cup Trophy, which is included in regular park admission.
Soccer fans can also get up close to brick-built models of global icons — including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Cristiano Ronaldo. Williams noted that the models are built entirely from standard LEGO pieces.
“None of the models that we have at Legoland Resort, in theory, they’re all things that you could create at home because we don’t use or get any special pieces from Lego,” she said.
Even families who aren’t die-hard soccer fans will find something to enjoy. The Super Squad activity encourages teamwork as families work together to knock down LEGO towers — no soccer knowledge required.
“You really don’t have to know anything to kick a soccer ball around for the first time,” Williams said. “You can just come and play and enjoy.”
Guests can also design their own custom jersey and display it on the Heroes Wall throughout the day. The wall refreshes daily, giving each new group of visitors a chance to add their creations.
The FIFA World Cup Trophy and soccer ball are also available for purchase at the resort’s retail store.

More summer highlights
The FIFA celebration is just one piece of a packed summer at Legoland Florida. Peppa Pig Theme Park is running its own limited-time event — Pig Family Travel Adventure — where guests receive a passport and explore five themed countries, earning a commemorative pop badge upon completion.
On July 4, the resort will host Red Brick and Boom, a fireworks show over Lake Eloise set to music, celebrating America’s 250th birthday.
Following the FIFA experience, The LEGO Festival kicks off July 20 and runs through Aug. 16, featuring live music, live entertainment and creative builds inspired by adult music festivals — scaled down for kids.
The brand-new Galactic Coaster also makes its debut this summer. The indoor, space-themed family coaster uses RFID bracelet technology to let riders design their own spacecraft before launch.
