This post has been updated on January 21, 2024, with the latest information and insights to help you plan your perfect ninja adventure.

Our journey with LEGO NINJAGO Days at LEGOLAND Florida Resort began back in 2020. My children were then just 2 (almost 3) and 5.5 years old. This initial visit, which serendipitously occurred just a month before the world underwent significant changes, holds a special place in our family’s memories. Our eldest son, a true LEGO aficionado, was (and still is!) particularly enamored with all things NINJAGO. It felt like destiny to immerse ourselves in an event tailor-made for his passion, igniting a love for the ninja world that continues to this day.

Over the years, our family has been incredibly fortunate to explore the wonders of LEGOLAND Florida through media passes, experiencing everything from the festive Brick or Treat celebrations to the holiday magic of Christmas Bricktacular, and even the grand unveiling of The LEGO Movie World. These experiences convinced us of the immense value and endless fun LEGOLAND offers families. Consequently, in 2019/2020, we made the decision to become annual pass holders, a commitment we’ve proudly maintained ever since. This extensive review is born purely from our genuine enthusiasm and firsthand experiences, offering a wealth of information for anyone considering a visit to this extraordinary event. It is not a sponsored post, but rather a heartfelt guide from one LEGO-loving family to another.

Our journey into the world of NINJAGO began by leveraging my daughter’s preschool pass during the inaugural day of LEGO NINJAGO Days at LEGOLAND Florida Resort. The energy was palpable, a delightful hum of excitement filling the air, though it was certainly busier than we had initially anticipated. Despite the crowds, we embraced every moment, determined to make the most of this special event. This dedicated guide aims to provide you with an in-depth look at what makes this multi-weekend celebration a must-visit for any aspiring ninja or LEGO enthusiast.

Beyond the special event days, the permanent LEGO NINJAGO World at LEGOLAND Florida Resort is a destination in itself. This immersive land transports guests into the mystical universe of the NINJAGO ninjas. Here, children can unleash their inner ninja through interactive attractions and physical challenges. The landscape is dotted with intricate LEGO models, dynamic play areas, and opportunities to practice Spinjitzu, making it a fantastic addition to the park’s regular offerings. Whether you’re mastering balance, testing your reflexes, or simply soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, NINJAGO World provides a continuous stream of adventure for kids and adults alike.

NINJAGO Days are meticulously designed to be packed with action and offer a diverse array of fun-filled activities suitable for all ages. While we couldn’t experience everything during our initial visit, we were thrilled by the sheer volume of interactive opportunities available. Here’s a closer look at some of the engaging activities that await aspiring ninjas:

  • School of Spinjitzu: Are you ready to embody the agility and precision of a true ninja? This active training-style show invites participants to learn fundamental ninja movements, including posing, balancing, chopping, and spinning. It’s a highly interactive experience where children (and brave adults!) can discover more about harnessing the power of Spinjitzu, guided by expert instructors. It’s not just watching; it’s doing, learning, and having a blast!
  • Dragon’s Drumbeat: Immerse yourself in the rhythmic power of dragons with this energetic and interactive show. Featuring captivating music and exhilarating drumming, Dragon’s Drumbeat encourages guests to become one with the pulse of the NINJAGO world, celebrating the ancient bond between ninjas and these mythical creatures.
  • Ninja’s Unite Celebration: Join forces with your favorite NINJAGO ninjas in a vibrant and festive ceremony. This celebration is a journey of unity and triumph, unlike any other, culminating in a grand gathering that honors the spirit of teamwork and adventure. It’s a fantastic photo opportunity and a chance to feel like a true part of the ninja squad.
  • Whip Around Dance Party: Even ninjas need to unwind and show off their moves! Take a break from intense training and unleash your best ninja dance moves at this high-energy, interactive dance party. With upbeat music and enthusiastic hosts, it’s the perfect way to burn off some energy and celebrate your ninja achievements with fellow fans.

Savor the Flavors: Ninja Kitchen Food Truck

As a passionate food blogger (check out KatiesCucina.com!), I’m always on the lookout for unique culinary experiences, and the Ninja Kitchen Food Truck, introduced to LEGOLAND Florida Resort in 2019, was a delightful discovery. This innovative food truck offers a refreshing departure from typical theme park fare, serving up an array of Asian-inspired street food that perfectly complements the NINJAGO theme. The menu features enticing items such as Super Fancy Spring Rolls ($11), classic Traditional Egg Rolls ($7), savory Potstickers ($9), and other Specialty Items ($11) like succulent pork bao buns and sweet Asian chicken wings. While the prices are on the higher side, as expected within a theme park, the quality and unique flavors make it a worthwhile indulgence.

From a theme park food perspective, I wholeheartedly give the Ninja Kitchen Food Truck an A+! We sampled the crisp Vegetable Egg Rolls, the surprisingly delicious Reuben Super Fancy Spring Rolls (a creative twist!), and the zesty Lemon Chicken Potstickers. Each item was fresh, flavorful, and a welcome treat after a day of ninja training. Do note, these are generally snack-sized portions. To constitute a full meal, you would likely need to order multiple items per person, which could add up quickly. Be prepared for a wait, as is common with popular food trucks, especially given that many items are cooked to order to ensure freshness. Our wait for potstickers was over 15 minutes, but the delicious reward was well worth the patience. We eagerly anticipate dining here again on our next visit.

Beyond the dedicated food truck, LEGOLAND Florida Resort sprinkles an assortment of specialty treats and snacks throughout the park during NINJAGO Days. These limited-time culinary creations are designed to fuel an awesome day of ninja training and adventure. With six new and exciting options, there’s a delicious bite for every palate, ensuring even the pickiest ninjas find something to love, whether they crave savory delights or sweet indulgences. Be sure to seek out these unique offerings:

  • HI-YA-biscus Kombucha Lemonade: A refreshing and unique drink to quench your thirst.
  • Bonsai Birria Ramen: A savory and hearty dish, perfect for refueling.
  • Foe Fighting Apple Fries: A sweet and crispy treat, perhaps with a special dipping sauce.
  • Wings of Wisdom: Flavorful chicken wings that might give you the wisdom of a ninja master.
  • Curr-ate Chop Fries: Fries with an exotic curry twist for a spicy kick.
  • Master Wu’s Dojo-Que Sandwich: A substantial sandwich inspired by the wise Master Wu himself.
