Carlsbad is an ideal couples and family destination any time of the year. During October when Brick-or-Treat is at LEGOLAND every Saturday night, families have a wonderful excuse to pack their bags and take a Fall vacation.

A not-too-spooky Halloween festival features a new Candy Quest walk-through at the Adventurers’ Club in Fun Town. The Fall Festival is complete with Pumpkin Patch Building and blue-grass style music in LEGO Friends Heartlake City. Join an interactive story-telling, and visit seven treat stations with specialty items including a LEGO® NINJAGO™ giveaway and commemorative Brick.
