Build Legoland Beach Castles at Rye Beach This Week

LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester heads to the beach to build sandcastles – LEGO sandcastles, that is – at a special free class on the boardwalk led by the attraction’s Master Model Builder David Howard on Thursday, Aug. 15 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Rye Playland Amusement Park Beach Boardwalk (100 Playland Pkwy) in Rye. The class was originally scheduled for Aug. 8 but was postponed due to the weather that day.

The special build celebrates the opening of a temporary LEGO beach installation in LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester’s MINILAND, which is on display starting through Labor Day Weekend. 

Participating children will build a LEGO sandcastle and LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester will supply the LEGO bricks. A group of three-foot LEGO figures will also be in attendance in their best beach outfits to meet the crowds, join the fun and soak up the sun.

The event is free and appropriate for children ages 5-10: children must be accompanied by an adult or their older teen sibling(s).

LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester is a 32,300 square-foot indoor attraction featuring more than 3 million LEGO bricks, geared towards children ages 3-10 and their families.  Its range of educational and interactive attractions will include hands-on play areas, a 4D cinema, master classes led by Master Model Builders, two LEGO amusement rides, special party rooms and MINILAND — the venue’s signature re-creation of landmark locations and buildings throughout Westchester County and New York City, made entirely out of LEGO bricks.
