A new Pokémon experience has come to LEGOLAND Florida Resort as part of the 2026 LEGO Festival. The new LEGO Pokémon Play Zone is an interactive area focused on building, technology, and Pokémon Trainer activities.
The LEGO Pokémon Play Zone will operate during the LEGO Festival from July 20 through Aug. 16, 2026, at LEGOLAND Florida in Winter Haven. The experience will provide guests with an early opportunity to interact with LEGO Pokémon products before the sets become available worldwide.
According to LEGOLAND Florida, guests can enter the LEGO Pokémon: Trainer Center, where they will complete a guided experience lasting approximately 15 minutes. The attraction is designed around the idea of becoming a Pokémon Trainer. Through LEGO SMART Play technology, guests can use interactive digital features while participating in activities throughout the experience. The technology connects physical LEGO builds with digital elements to create a more interactive play experience.
Guests Can Build Poké Balls and Take Part in Trainer Activities
The LEGO Pokémon Play Zone includes several hands-on activities.
Guests can build their own LEGO Poké Ball as part of the experience as well as five different Pokémon. Using LEGO SMART Play technology, guests can watch their Pokémon react to “snacks” before they train and battle at the interactive Trainer Center.

A large brick-built Pikachu model will also be available for photo opportunities within the area.
Access to the LEGO Pokémon Play Zone will be managed through a virtual queue system available through the official LEGOLAND Florida app. Guests will need to check availability on the day of their visit because capacity will be limited.
LEGO Pokémon Experience Arrives Before Global Product Release
The LEGOLAND Florida attraction will debut ahead of the release of LEGO Pokémon building sets.
The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International announced their partnership in 2024. The collaboration will bring LEGO Pokémon sets to consumers worldwide beginning in 2026.

The Florida attraction will be among the first public experiences connected to the partnership. It allows guests to interact with the LEGO Pokémon concept before the full product lineup reaches retailers.
The LEGO Pokémon Play Zone is also part of a larger rollout across LEGOLAND parks in the United States. Similar LEGO Pokémon experiences are planned for LEGOLAND New York and LEGOLAND California Resort as part of the LEGO Festival events at those locations.
